Cafe
Cafe Mado
This French-Italian, Riviera-inspired all-day spot from the team behind Michelin-starred Oxalis balances a casual daytime bakery-café up front with a skylit, garden dining room for seasonal, vegetable-forward cooking. Chef Nico Russell leans heavily into Riviera coastal flavors, handmade pastas, and wood-fired small plates rather than formal tasting-menu pretension. The front counter acts as an express stop for pastries and espresso early on before transitioning to a full sit-down service by mid-morning.
★ The Legend
Le Caesar
This architectural salad features crisp romaine and baby gem leaves stacked vertically like flowers in a vase, each leaf individual brushed with anchovy-heavy dressing, Parmesan, and a light dusting of nutritional yeast. Eat it leaf by leaf with your fingers from the top down to get the full crunch and savory coating on every piece.
◆ Fan Favorite
The Tony
A homage to Anthony Bourdain, this sandwich stacks griddled, thick-cut mortadella and tangy dijonnaise inside a house-baked, toasted sesame English muffin. Order a side of the herb-dusted French fries to swipe through the extra mustard sauce that drips off the bun.
● Chef's Pick
Pan Bagnat
Chef Nico Russell's take on the classic Niçoise sandwich packs olive-oil-poached tuna, soft-boiled egg, anchovies, radishes, and charred eggplant onto a light, olive-oil-drenched roll. It rotates on and off the afternoon menu, so if you spot it on the board during daytime hours, claim one immediately before it sells out.
◇ Hidden Gem
Pissaladière
First-timers go straight for the handmade pastas, but regulars always open the meal with this warm, flatbread-style loaf topped with slow-caramelized red onions, salty anchovies, and black olive spread. Tear it apart to share for the table alongside a chilled glass of skin-contact wine.
Insider Tip
If you want to sit in the skylit back atrium dining room for lunch, enter through the front bakery counter and let the host seat you directly rather than grabbing a table yourself. Make sure to save room for the smoked date financier from the pastry case on your way out.
