L’Emblème, a bistro atmosphere of mediterranean influence
A new culinary experience in the heart of a captivating Eden in the center of Sophia Antipolis, in Biot.
An idyllic bistro venue at the heart of Sophia Antipolis
In a cosy and calming setting stands l’Emblème, a restaurant of the Mouratoglou Hotel & Resort. It waves a welcoming and relaxing atmosphere brought by the high-profile sportspersons who gather here. This exceptional address combines sport history and a breathtaking view of the pool’s deep blue reflections, offering a total escape at the very heart of Sophia Antipolis.
