This is a fantastic restaurant in the ancient village of Gourdon - a village perched on the edge of a mountain ridge - and the restaurant is perched on the edge of the edge of the village, giving it possibly the best restaurant view in Europe - you see Nice, Cannes, Antibes, the med, and even Corsica some days (a waitress told me). And then all around you there are the Alps. Fabulous. The food is what you go for though - it is lovely, Scrummy, yummy, delicious. All the words used to describe good food and more. Excellent. With this sort of cuisine France is refinding its feet in the global food stakes. The chef is a genius- his marriages of flavours and colours are a delight for the tastebuds and the eyes. Serving staff very welcoming and friendly (and efficient) and the toilets - wow! Cleaner ones you could not find. The view was also amazing. There were four of us and we went back three times in 10 days. Now it's in our address book as a must for the next time we are in a 100km radius!

Le Nid d'Aigle (aptly named - it's position is indeed an Eagles Nest) is a restaurant in Gourdon; the most beautiful clifftop village in the maritimes Alps, overlooking the Mediterranean.

The quality of food eaten in this restaurant is incredible. Superb. The supremely talented chef - who you spy on occasion through the glass partition to the kitchen, with his tall white *toque* and his oh so French moustache - knows exactly how to tantalize those tastebuds and have you clamouring for more.

Perfect portion sizes, value for money, gastronomic without being pretentious at all, and the yummiest desserts ever. I went with some friends one of whom is vegetarian - at last - proper vegetarian food.

This restaurant puts France very firmly back on the culinary circuit. Too good to pass by without recommending it (we got back home this morning!). We'll be going again and again every time we hit the cote d'Azur. The waiting staff were very helpful and charming - a discreet, efficient, excellent team of waiting staff! Bravo. Felicitations. A restaurant that combines brasserie style eating with gastronomic quality.
