Ristorante Cuneo, Ventimiglia
June 19, 2008
On June 16, 2008, I went to Ventimiglia to pick up Sue, arriving on the train from Milan. I had finished my extensive shopping in the market and shops by the time she arrived, so we went directly to Cuneo for lunch. This has been a solid, but somewhat ordinary, restaurant near the market in Ventimiglia for a long time, but I had not been for several years. Read the rest of this entry »

The Ventimiglia Market
September 10, 2007
On September 6, 2007 Linda and I went shopping in the market of Ventimiglia, across the border in Italy. This market has more and better vegetables and fish than what we find on the French side. It also illustrates Jean Cocteau’s quip that the French are Italians in a bad mood. Read the rest of this entry »
Ristorante Manuel 2
January 14, 2007
After reading Gary and Varian’s enthusiastic blog post of December 11, we suggested going to Ristorante Manuel with them. And so on January 13, 2007, we picked up David and Frederique, who had the same idea, in our faithful blue Peugeot 406. Read the rest of this entry »

(closed Sunday night and Monday)
(December 20, 2006)…After several years absence, we decided to return to this beach-side restaurant just over the border in Ventimiglia because our enoteca ladies in Dolce Aqua told us that there was a new, Japanese chef serving at Baia Beniamin. Read the rest of this entry »

Corso Italia, 265, Camporosso, 0184 20 50 37
(December 8, 2006) One rainy Friday, Gary and Varian set out for Ventimiglia. First we had to buy some plants at Cactus Mania, at least that was the ostensible reason for the trip. In reality the purpose was to have lunch at a restaurant in Camporosso that had been recommended to us by the lady at our favorite enoteca in Dolceacqua. Read the rest of this entry »
Apricale da Delio (and a sidetrip before)
September 29, 2006
(September 27, 2006) Lunch was our main reason for this outing, but we wanted to stop at Cactus Mania in Ventimiglia en route. What an eye-opener. Their supply of succulents and cacti is overwhelming. One large greenhouse is full of nothing but little guys (1€60), many of which are very unusual. Read the rest of this entry »
