The one restaurant in the tiny, pretty calanque of Morgiou is the delightful Nautic Bar. With terraces overlooking the port, it is a dreamy spot for seafood and sea views. Reserve ahead: the hair-raisingly steep, narrow road (3.5km) is only open year-round to those with a Nautic Bar reservation. Credit cards are not accepted.
