La Place de Mougins, located in the hills of the Cote d&#8217;Azur (in Mougins), is a restaurant that I thought would be on its way to getting a Michelin star. However, it still hasn&#8217;t happened although it has been recognised by the guide.\u00a0I&#8217;m sure this doesn&#8217;t detract from the positive reviews it is getting anyway from patrons, ranked first among restaurants in Mougins by TripAdvisor.com. The chef Denis Fetisson (previously two-starred at Courcheval) describes his food as being creative but it&#8217;s not to the degree that you see in molecular cooking where\u00a0dishes are deconstructed. In anycase, this is a restaurant of good value in the south of France and worth making a point to visit if you&#8217;re in the hills of Vence. The menu changes regularly and with what&#8217;s in season. They do a good vegetarian menu as well. Lunch currently costs EUR27 and a dinner tasting menu starts at EUR60.<\/p>\n<p>Website:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/laplacedemougins.fr\/en\/home-4\/\"
