A Restaurant with Wonderful Food and Incredible Views

The perched village of Roquebrune, east of Monaco and just west of Menton, is a medieval village with no cars and winding stone streets and covered alleyways. The "Donjon", as the keep is called, rises high above the town; it's a great place for kids to explore, giving them a true idea of what an ancient castle was like.

But we like to take visitors here for the amazing views which one can appreciate from the terrace dining room of Les Deux Freres. There is a menu available of good value - 3 courses and a 1/2 bottle of wine of your choise for 24 euros. There are several changing choices for the 3 courses - the day we were there recently there were a salad with chevre chaud (warm cheese) and an avocado with shrimp as the choices for the entree (first course); for the second course, two of us chose souris d'agneau, lamb that was falling off the bone, and two of us chose the perfectly cooked salmon. For dessert there was chocolate cake, tarte de pommes (apple tarte), and several other items.

From the cliff near the restaurant one can see back to Monaco, with lovely homes and swimming pools cascading down the hillsides. There are usually hang-gliders making their circuitous ways down from above to the sea below, landing on a narrow beach.
