African Queen - Beaulieu-sur-Mer
Born in 1969 in Beaulieu-sur-Mer, African Queen is much more than just a restaurant – it’s a true institution of the French Riviera. Located on the port, facing the yachts and the dazzling blue of the Mediterranean, this iconic venue has welcomed stars, artists, travelers, and loyal food lovers for over five decades.
In 2023, African Queen embarked on a new chapter thanks to three friends – Riccardo Giraudi, Philippe Schriqui, and Patrick Gioannini – while continuing to celebrate generous cuisine inspired by the Mediterranean, infused with global flavors, exceptional ingredients, and iconic signature dishes.
Today, African Queen still embodies the Riviera art of living: relaxed yet elegant, timeless yet vibrant. Here, every moment is a sun-drenched escape – a truly unique experience.

A legendary restaurant on the French Riviera
The revival of African Queen was entrusted to the Humbert & Poyet agency, who delivered an elegant transformation that remains true to the restaurant’s history. Its DNA has been carefully preserved, while refined and bold new aesthetic codes have been introduced to elevate the experience.
Subtle ethnic touches reveal themselves through the textiles, woven rattan chairs, emerald green tiles, and the meticulous craftsmanship of the lighting fixtures. Every detail has been carefully considered to create an atmosphere that is warm, sun-drenched, and truly one of a kind. A place to (re)discover with your own eyes.
