rte Valbonne (D4
Plascassier - on the roundabout with D104 to Mouans Sartoux). Open for lunch every day and dinner M-Sa. Unpretentious restaurant that provides a bargain at lunch where you have a 4-course fixed menu meal including wine and coffee for €13.50/person. Either reserve or get there at 12:00.
48 Avenue Henri Dunant, Grasse - access from end of penetrante is signed the trick is to start by heading to Pégomas and away from Grasse!
Two-star Michelin restaurant (and hotel) expensive (€100/person minimum) but well worth splurging on and less well known than the other Michelin restaurants in the area.
The 4 lane N2285 'penetrante' from the A8 exit 42 (Grasse/Cannes) is the recommended access route. It terminates rather abruptly just before the steep ascent into Grasse on the old N85 (route Napoleon).
