Welcome to the African Queen - Epicurean delights in the heart of the French Riviera
A renewed French culinary tradition
Born on the French Riviera, the African Queen restaurant is a legendary and iconic venue that needs no introduction. Under the guidance of Gilbert Vissian, the restaurant has become a reference point where celebrities, locals, and tourists gather throughout the year.
Today, African Queen is experiencing a new beginning thanks to three friends: Riccardo Giraudi, Philippe Schriqui, and Patrick Gioannini. African Queen was and remains one of those restaurants where friends gather to enjoy delicious Southern cuisine, facing the yachts of the port of Beaulieu-sur-Mer, all while celebrating life and epicureanism.
