Oasis Bistro at L'Ermitage Hotel
.
The newly installed Oasis bistro at the L'Ermitage hotel in La Napoule (left) is worth a visit. The food is reasonably priced and good although the wines are a bit on the steep side. You can buy wine by the glass, by the way. Tables on the terrace over the river have lovely views of the Med as well as the river. Valet parking

Fish Restaurant - Brocherie
The Brocherie 11 at the entrance to the town is a fine fish restaurant with a menu which includes five starters, not a choice of five - all of them. Or you can go à la carte - my choice. They also own the restaurant beneath them. See their excellent website which is as good as their food video
