The classic addresses cluster by the water: Chez Fonfon in the Vallon des Auffes and Chez Michel on Rue des Catalans are the long-standing temples of the form, with Le Miramar and Chez Madie Les Galinettes lined up along the Quai du Port. Out on the Corniche Kennedy, Peron adds the sea-view version.
