"Was there last year same date. Main changes : the chef lost 50 kg weight and the level of the restaurant improved well beyond the one star.Last year we had the degustation menu, this year we stuck with a la carte. Apart from one of us who was not so impressed by the artichokes and truffle dish (too much truffle, artichokes lost) we were all very happy. I risked the "pizza by Alain LLorca" which is of course not even close to a pizza but was very interesting - can't disclose the fun, you have to try it. Then all of us gorgeous lobster with the pincers in a "nem" (vietnamese spring roll) - exquisite. The sommelier (the old one is clearly phasing out, we got the young one, who helped us very competently) recommended a great champagne outside the wine list (and it was not at all overpriced, rather the opposite - it ended up costing half of what I estimated... that's when you see a sommelier is really good)Anyway : Michelin, please add a star (hey, Llorca already had some more stars before, I remember eating at the Negresco / Chantecler a long time ago...)We will definitely be back..."

This is a full-service restaurant, good for cosy dinners but also large enough for groups. The food is almost gourmet, with plenty of options and very good wines, and the service excellent.

Awesome view from the terrace, great food and wine and service. Best restaurant we have been to for a long time. Worth the expense. Tuna better than the lamb if went back, but both great . Great sommelier Patrick.

Excellent in every way; the welcome, the service, the happy buzz from contended diners. Lunch from the set menu was delicious. Desserts were amazing (rum baba and passion fruit soufflé). Cars parked with the minimum of fuss. Recommend.

The warmest welcome ever. Impeccable service and really delicious food. Lunch menu is a steal. The fleur de courgettes stuffed with saint jacques keeps you humming a happy tune.The view over the slopes of Vence with St. Paul on top of the hill is mega romantic.

Had a wonderful dinner - swordfish carpaccio on diced melon, watermelon, cucumber and peach: then red tuna on chickpea toast; main course of duck magret with a roasted white fig; incredible cheeses and superb dessert. Our waiter Laurent was passionate and knowledgeable about our meal - amazing service. And the view was lovely. At the end of the meal, the chef Alain Llorca came out and chatted with everyone. Excellent evening.

We had both a lunch and a dinner just by accident and both times we were really positively surprised. Especially the dinner was god and the old gentleman serving champagne from his carriage was very pleasant. He helped us with vines and had nice conversations with our small group. The tuna was best I have ever had, artichokes with truffles were great and also the lamb and the birds were tasty. Wine selection is bit extraordinary but the wines are great.Pastries selection is very colorful. If you are nearby do and visit. Do not forget to chat with the gentleman with the vine carriages.

What can I say about this place? I love it!!! The terrace is perfectly located overlooking St Paul de Vence. The service is wonderful, the cuisine is absolutely delicious and it has been gifted with a Michelin star for years now. I can only recommend a summer visit. My favorite is June, when the weather is perfect and the number of tourists in the Provence is not overwhelming. Start with a glass of champagne, delight yourself through the menu (I have a soft spot for the black truffles and the dishes they have in the menu offer generous portions of it). The cheese selection is superb and the wine list is carefully chosen. I will come back over and over again.

The view alone is reason enough to visit this restaurant. Of course it is quite expensive, so we went there for lunch in stead, as it was a little cheaper. At first we were served a funny tasting jelly with tomato sauce. Luckily it went up hill from there. I especially enjoyed the starter (Cod "brandade") because it was a bit different from anything else I have tasted. It was served with a bit of salad, a light tomato sauce, olives and croutons (the croutons I thought really made the dish extra exciting. The main course (Pan-fried piece of veal) was also good, but maybe a little ordinary. We were all really happy with our deserts and thought it was fun how everyone was served different littl...

Really a mixed bag. The restaurant is beautifully located opposite of St. Paul de Vence - and gives stunning views. The welcome and service is top quality, as it is expected from a Michelin star restaurant. So far so good. Unfortunately and to our sad discovery, the food did not match the rest. We took two lunch menus and the starters were o.k. but nothing special. Main course though was really strange. The "Bresse" stuffed was very very good and tasty, but the other main course was open to harsh criticism. A Mullet is a nice fish (and in France very underestimated fish) and a cream sauce can be O.K., but mixing it with an Iberian ham lead to a totally unbalanced taste and very odd combinati...

"**Intro**Before I start this review I want to explain that the menu for tonight was fixed due to a jazz event outside the restaurant. So all you could choose from was 1 of 3 dishes of a starter, main course and desert (3 dishes of 9). With so few options the results bound to be good when you can focus and do a few dishes really well. Our company had a table for 7.**Time management**We got there at 20.30 just before the jazz band started playing outside. Drinks took 15 minutes to serve and after that an additional 30 minutes for starters.After 50 additional minutes the main course was served. The deserts was served after the jazz bands session had ended at around 22.30.In terms of speedy service I would call this a disaster. Although one waiter understood that we had been waiting for almost 50 minutes she had a poor explanation for the delay "A lot of the guests wanted their deserts served but your food is coming up in five minutes."This is a great way of kindly explaining how much of a non-priority we were. 1 of 5**Food**When it comes to the food I would love to say that it was worth the wait, but it wasn't.Starter: Duck liver with caramelized apple with some kind of crushed nuts.The good: Caramelized apple and crushed nuts was very tasty. 3 of 5. The bad: Duck liver had a spoungy texture and tasted very little to nothing. A bit of salt would probably save the taste and I could have given it a decent 3,5-4 maybe.Main Course: Fish in tomato sauce with ruccola.The good: At least the fish was fresh.The bad: This was nothing worth remembering. I feel so sad that a fine file of fish got served on such a poor plate with a tomato sauce and a 1/2 cup of ruccola. I mean come on, a student on a tight budget could make a better tasting fish while trying to nuke it with spices, herbs or even ketchup. No chef-effort whatsoever. Also, where was the salt? Use of fresh fish was the only positive thing. 2 of 5Desert: Fromage with Nutella and some kind of nuts crushed with pop rocks. The good: Fromage tasty and didn't end the night in total failiure.The bad: The melted chocolate was not actual Nutella. Maybe some generic brand? Also the pop rocks would be more of a success on a childs desert. 3 of 5**Service**The waiters had a busy evening hopefully trying to make their best but I am sad that all waiters had their sight fixed on everything else except their guests. Since we had been ignored and had our expected 80-90 minute restaurant visit being delayed to approx. 150 minutes I can not say that I am satisfied with the service. After each dish being served non of the waiters returned and asked how the food tasted. Not even after clearing the table after each dish or when we asked to pay the bill. 1 of 5**Summary**I suggest the restaurant would improve the following:1. Whip the waiters to communicate with the guests. "How is the food tasting/Are you all satisfied/Care for some more wine?"2. Don't have a guy trying to be a sommelier when he even can not divide a bottle of wine equally. Just don't. 3. When explaining a time delay don't explain what you were doing instead. Explain what you can do for us to make up for it. Just a simple I'm sorry would do just fine if you lack mandate to offer a fruitplate or whatever.4. When the bill is being asked for don't walk away and start clearing the table for other guets.5. Fire the chef. Main reason for not succeding in executing only 9 dishes in an evening with brilliance. There is nothing to salvage here.This restaurant might have potential on any other night since previous ratings was what got us to book a table here tonight. Hopefully this is an one time fail for the restaurant. Food was not bad, just tasteless and the waiters succeded in making the evening a boring one. Sorry but I won't visit this place once again.Salute."
