"Nice restaurant. Good bread with Belivaire butter! The signature dish, the whole Poulpe of Mozambique braised with camargue rice: very good! 34€ The desserts, which are not on the map but are presented on a cake dish, are beautiful. I took a cookie three chocolates pounded cream burned. Very good, and rather, it is quite rare, hearty! 12€. Glass wine from 7€. Pretty nice frame, with squares at the bar with direct view of the cooks, especially for lonely travellers!"

"Come and have dinner on the occasion of my birthday, my husband and I were greeted by the head of the debreux in person in his restaurant at the same time atypical and cosi. We were right to trust him on the choice of dishes: he made us discover the subtle and extraordinary culinary flavours. smile, perfect service, very good wine and champagne, attention to both funny and touching for my short birthday, we will remember for a long time this fabulous journey to the country of French gastronomy. Thank you, sir!"

"We have been in France for almost 9 weeks (5 1/2 in Paris, 1 in Nice and 2+ in Provence). Tonight was our last night, spent at an airport hotel, and we went to this place in the village. Unfortunately, the experience was not atypical of many dining experiences we have had in France. I have heard all the explanations and the excuses and I don't care -- bad service is bad service and rude is rude. We have had several very good experiences with service in France, but more often they have been marginal or, like tonight, outright bad. We were given menus and a drink and then waited almost 20 minutes before my wife got up and chased down the waiter (attention owner: he is a thin fellow in his forties), who finally took our order. Despite her asking the waiter several times whether the place could actually cook her steak medium rare (something the French are singularly and consistently unable to do) and despite being assured that they could, the steak came back medium --medium well. No apology from the waiter of course when he saw that it was not cooked properly. But then he also (as is not uncommon) never asked us how our meals were, and never brought us bread or water (which is uncommon). We ordered a second drink apiece, which the waiter apparently forgot about, as he went to three other tables after our order and brought drinks to them. My wife finally got up, went inside and asked him for le addition (we have learned to do this after countless experiences where we tell the waiter that we are finished and we wait forever for the bill, despite sitting at the table and tapping the credit cad against the table and not being engaged in any conversation) and told him to forget about the drinks (which he already had, anyway). His response was that it was busy (not very much). Again, no apology. We love France and have had some great experiences at restaurants, but this place exhibited the typical French attitude. Despite what you may have heard, the typical French waiter at the average restaurant or bistro (I am not talking about a fine restaurant) not only has a nonchalant or standoffish attitude but also does not know much about how the food is prepared and has no sense of professionalism. Americans need to get over the fear of being perceived as aggressive or demanding and call a spade a spade -- bad service is bad service wherever it happens and should not be tolerated. If you are in Europe and you get good service tip appropriately and when you get bad service let the waiter and anyone you see in charge know what you think."

"At home, it is a place of life, joy and learning. At home everything has, place of advice, place where you can listen carefully, place where you feel well loved with those who are ready for us in all areas. The house liberates, restores life, peace, welcomes us, but when we lose everything. She always stretches her arms for us. The house for a small or large, rich or poor is the love that reigns at home. Let's all be at home and we'll see these facts."

"Point positif : le repas était VRAIMENT excellent : matières de bases raffinées, originales et très très bien travaillé, belle présentation. Belle Vaisselles originales en concordance avec les plats . Point négatif : La patronne a été immonde avec la serveuse. Comment peut on être aussi irrespectueuse avec son personnel devant les clients. Cela met vraiment mal à l aise, et c était injustifié, bravo à la serveuse qui est restée imperturbable, et je souhaite qu’elle trouve un meilleur établissement qui saura apprécier son professionnalisme."
