10/10A delightful restaurant in the heart of old Antibes. Stunning food, environment and service. The chef took time to interact with guests, which was a nice touch. The wine pairing served with the tasting menu was fabulous too. I would recommend that anyone going for the tasting menu eats minimally during the day. The meal is both tasty and filling and guests will need space to enjoy all of the elements.

10/10Excellent food and ambiance definitely would recommend, the chef came out at the end of the meal and greeted me which was a special treat. The staff and service were also excellent, well deserving of the Michelin star!

Delightful meal- use of fresh vegetables gave the dishes a very summertime feel. Atmosphere is charming . Each dish is as also very generous portions.

4.5/10You might have a certain expectation when you visit a Michelin star restaurant but this one failed to deliver. The duck foie gras was a bland pâté and the John Dory was presented in a tasteless cucumber sauce. They over indexed on dessert with 2 courses. Service was patchy. Expected better.

6.5/10
Overall our experience was a good one. However, it was not what I consider a typical Michelin star restaurant. The food was presented well but the flavor profiles were mixed poorly. The dishes seemed almost dated and were not innovative or inspiring. The service was good but the timing of the food was off as we waited for some time to get our main dish. The ambiance of the space has a lot of character but the overall theme sends mixed signals combining the old architecture and fig tree with a TV display and iPads for menus.

8/10The majority of the plates on the tasting menu were nicely done, notably the lamb, fish, and dessert courses, but a few were either less convincing (a rather fishy and gelatinous sea urchin concoction) or flatly tasteless, as was a soupy amuse bouche. Pacing was uneven and not fully attentive —our order of the house special aperitif cocktail was only served after the amuses bouches were placed on the table, eliminating the expected relaxing start phase of a high end evening. We were seated in a dramatic formerly outdoor courtyard which had been converted very effectively Into a handsome stone walled and leafy room; such attention to the setting was undone by allowing a scruffily dressed unkempt couple to occupy one of the restaurant’s most prominently visible tables. There are times when I wonder why restaurateurs devote so much energy in designing inviting spaces yet allow eyesores to enter and ruin the effect. Our visit was one of those times. In summary, there were some high points to the evening, but a starred experience should be more consistent.

6.5/10Lovely area of Antibes, we went in November but must be beautiful in the summer with the open roof. We were first of all puzzled about being given an ipad as menu. When you spend so many hours a day working in front of a screen the last thing you want is another screen. Additionally, a big TV screen in the room acted as art display with works of art changing every 30 seconds. It reminded me of my dentist’s waiting room. The food itself was pretty good, although quite traditional and lacked the wow effect. Our starters were lovely - especially the scallops. Same for mains, beautiful fresh fish with seasonal vegetables and a delightful sauce. What really bothered us and slightly spoiled our romantic evening was the constant interruptions by the waiters checking all was ok. Part of being a Michelin-starred restaurant is knowing the fine line between being attentive and over-zealous.

5.5/10The food was very dated and the theatre of the salt baked lamb embarrassing. The chef while once at the forefront of cuisine now appears out of touch, with dishes failing to deliver flavour..

6/10Just not the quality of food I would expect from a Michelin starred restaurant. No dish that I would love to eat again. Yes, it looked good on the plate and the courtyard was pretty but that’s as far as it went for me. No common theme to staff uniform - they could wear whatever suit style/colour they wanted which created a poor impression. Disappointed.

It was a special treat for my kids 14, and 12. I am happy they didn’t get disappointed! All of us like the food, the creativity and the complexity of each dish . Attention to every little details in the decoration , super taste and pleasant attitude of the staff. The chef himself gave us some attention also. Not spoiled by touristic location :) Love it! Recommend it!

9/10Fabulous location. Stone walls covered courtyard feels ancient but fully modern. Gracious service large well spaced tables - we actually sat under the figuier (olive tree). Food was outstanding. I was a little surprised there was no dress code. Most people made an effort but one guy showed up wearing worn shorts a crumpled white t shirt and flip flops and was seated right next to us. Also he had a large dog / which was well behaved by the way / and stayed under the table. Would definitely return.

5.5/10This restaurant was nice enough but did not seem good value. Having dined in several other starred restaurants this one was not up to the usual standard. The food was good but not great, ambience was not good (tv screens with rotating art are not in keeping). The service was also fine but not great- the staff certainly didn’t seem too happy about being there.
