African Queen Beaulieu-sur-Mer

Warm Prawns @africanqueenrestaurant 🔥🦐

Back in France and made a quick stop at African Queen for dinner. It’s a nice vibe here in the evenings with plenty on the menu. Some good, some great with a few standouts. Their warm prawns are delicious, as is their truffle pizza which is one of the best in town. For me though it’s that foie gras with brioche and fig jam that is one of their stand outs. The foie is so rich and creamy. It spreads with ease over the brioche and the sweet fig jam just complements the umami so perfectly. For main course, it’s the Maison Perrin Niçois ravioli - hearty beef-filled parcels of bite-sized pasta, tossed in a glossy beef reduction. It’s intense and comforting to eat - a really enjoyable dish that has a super meaty punch. The vongole on this visit wasn’t quite there though, a little bland and very overcooked spaghetti. The farm chicken on the other hand, delicious. Nicely roasted and carved table-side, served with a truffle jus on the side. This place has been around for so many years, it’s good to see it with new life and energy! #notoriousfoodie 🙅🏽‍♂️
