Circé has just opened its doors in La Rotonde, the iconic building in Beaulieu-sur-Mer. Like its namesake, the mythological Greek goddess of sorcery who was capable of bringing the stars down from the sky, the restaurant is likely to cast an everlasting spell on you. The vast terrace with its fragrant jasmine arbours, set amid lush gardens with sea views, is the perfect place to sip an exquisite cocktail while admiring the sunset. Dishes such as Greek salad with Cretan feta, spiced grilled prawns with citrus fruits and lamb with Kalamata olives and marjoram flowers burst with fresh Mediterranean flavours and are ideal for sharing. Inside, the bold and dazzling décor blends fanciful Baroque and Belle Epoque elements, adding a whimsical dimension to the dining experience. The languorous, pulsating music, mesmerising projections of ancient deities and lighting in the form of snakes and birds, which eye you benevolently or mischievously, immerse you in a world that is surreal, elegant and deliciously decadent
