There's a nifty little restaurant in Nice called Cafe St. Germain. Each night the chef displays his menu -- a single, weathered blackboard with the daily specials written with chalk in a distinctively French script. Ours is posted here, but we'd appreciate you imagining it written on cool, dark slate, resting in chalk dust on a chair outside our door.

Like most restaurants in the market towns of France, our menu changes continually to incorporate seasonal ingredients, the freshest products and our Chef's creative inspirations. Here is a sample of what you might find on a given night. We remind you to bring your own wine.
