About Amarines by Mauro Colagreco
Amarines by Mauro Colagreco is a Cap d'Antibes dinner choice for diners who want French Mediterranean cuisine from Mauro Colagreco. The basics are direct: evening hours from Wednesday through Sunday, smart casual dress, a Relais Chateaux Award for 2026. Treat it as a planned dinner rather than a casual all-day fallback.
Choose it for a Mauro Colagreco French Mediterranean dinner, not a casual Riviera fallback
The main reason to go is the combination of French Mediterranean cuisine and Mauro Colagreco's role as chef/owner. That gives the restaurant a clear identity for travelers choosing where to spend a limited dinner slot in Cap d'Antibes. The safer expectation is an evening meal, not a flexible daytime stop.
The recognition is a 2026 Relais Chateaux Award. That does not automatically make it the right choice for every plan. If the group is comparing options, Bar Bellini Breakfast and Giovanni's are names to weigh separately depending on the kind of meal and timing needed.
Plan around the dinner schedule
Amarines makes the most sense when dinner is treated as the anchor of the night. The cuisine is French Mediterranean, the hours are Wednesday through Sunday from 7–10 PM. For current details beyond those basics, contact the restaurant directly before assuming a specific menu format, drinks program, or seating setup.
This is also where comparison helps. Villa Miraé - Cap d'Antibes is another option to consider when deciding what kind of evening you want in Cap d'Antibes. For a broader high-end Mediterranean comparison beyond the immediate local choice, Ceto can be used as a separate benchmark without treating it as part of the same Cap d'Antibes dining scene.
Who should skip it
Skip it if the priority is maximum flexibility, a daytime meal, or a quick, casual stop. The schedule is evening only: Wednesday through Sunday from 7–10 PM, with Monday and Tuesday closed. Solo diners should confirm any seating details directly with the restaurant.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
Amarines by Mauro Colagreco sits quietly on the Cap d'Antibes peninsula and reads as a considered, modern take on French Mediterranean cooking. The copy emphasizes local provenance — olives pressed within kilometres, half-wild herbs and cold-water fish — and a kitchen that privileges produce logic over classical technique. The setting on a tree-lined route and the angled coastal light give the dining room a calm, charming quality: refined without excess, attentive to seasonality and terroir. Overall it feels contemporary and quietly sophisticated, the kind of place where ingredients and place set the tone.
Best For
This is a venue for deliberate, attentive meals rather than flashy spectacle. Because the text calls out that 'even lunch feels considered' and highlights the peninsula’s removed, quieter character, Amarines suits intimate daytime lunches and composed evening dinners. The provenance-driven cuisine and measured setting also make it a natural fit for date nights and special occasions when guests want something thoughtful and local rather than loud or tourist-focused. Parties seeking a tranquil, ingredient-led experience on the Cap d'Antibes will find it well matched to those purposes.
Ordering Tips
Lean into the coast and the olive-oil foundation the kitchen foregrounds: dishes that showcase local oils, vegetables, and cold-water fish are the restaurant’s point of departure. Ask your server about the olives and herbs mentioned in the copy — the menu is presented as a conversation with nearby producers. Save room for dessert: the rice pudding with cardamom gel is a signature that underscores the kitchen’s restrained, flavor-forward approach. Overall, order with an eye toward provenance and seasonality and let the ingredients guide the selection.

Restaurant context
How Amarines compares in Cap d'Antibes
Amarines by Mauro Colagreco is the more dinner-focused choice in this set: French Mediterranean, chef-led, better suited to travelers treating the meal as the main event. Villa Miraé - Cap d'Antibes is the closest local comparison on cuisine, so choose Amarines when the Colagreco connection and a more serious wine conversation matter; choose Villa Miraé when convenience and a hotel-style Mediterranean evening are the priority.
Bar Bellini Breakfast is not a like-for-like dinner alternative, but it is the practical pick for a lighter daytime plan. Giovanni's is the better cross-shop for a more relaxed meal, especially if the group does not want a chef-led French Mediterranean format. Booking difficulty is marked easy for Amarines, which makes it less stressful than reputation-driven Riviera dining can be, though dinner-only timing narrows the window.
For readers willing to leave Cap d'Antibes, Ceto is the stronger benchmark for an ambitious French Mediterranean meal, while Grand Hôtel de Cala Rossa & Spa Nucca is more of a destination-hotel comparison than a direct local substitute. Stay with Amarines if the night needs Riviera setting, French Mediterranean cooking, manageable booking friction in one place.
