One of the great expericences for for me was at the Colum d'Or in St. Paul de Vence, in the south of France. What makes this experience special is not only very good food, but the ambience. This is the place where many early 20th century struggling artists stayed (it is also a hotel) and paid their bills in art. Thus, you will dine among originals by Picasso, Braque, Matisse, etc. Lunch outside on the terrace is lovely too. (Hey, I think this is my 100th post!)
