Côte d’Azur cuisine.

There are a few surprises in the Michelin Guide for 2019 and many of them are on the glitzy
French Riviera

From black-tie dinners on board to Michelin-starred restaurants ashore, you can expect gastronomic excellence from the moment you embark on a superyacht charter along the French Riviera. Burgess charter experts reveal their favourite Michelin-starred restaurants from the brand-new Michelin Guide France 2019. This year 75 new establishments gain either one, two or three stars, a record level never seen before.

Gwendal Poullennec, International Director of the Michelin Guides, said 'This year, more than any other, the Michelin Guide France is demonstrating a gastronomic France that excels on all fronts. From remarkable regional dynamism, to showcasing new talented youngsters, and to an unprecedented number of new star-studded restaurants led by women, the 2019 vintage shines brightly in many ways.'
