Lovely 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.

The 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..

Just 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!

Fabulous 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.

Superb little restaurant with high quality food excellently executed. The lamb we had was beautifully presented and melted in the mouth. Really professional and efficient and helpful staff. great atmosphere in the courtyard. We will definitely visit again.

This 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.

This amazing restaurant we have visited several times. And we plan to do it in the future. Hidden in old town of Antibes this restaurant is always perfect and very enjoyable place.
