"Popped up to this lovely restaurant this week. First things first, if you're going to come in the summer, it's indoors so expect it to be warm and expect to need to book. Also, bring cash. On to the main info. Didier who owns the restaurant is someone my family met when we stumbled on him at a restaurant 15 years ago. Over the years, we have never missed visiting him if we can. The man is worth visiting any restaurant for alone. He is such a character and so charming. Now with his piano in his restaurant, we love to hang around later on in the evening and play/sing a bit of impromtpu jazz too.The setting is cut into the rock and this is exposed in some of the back areas of the restaurant. The walls are beset with lots of colourful and interesting pieces of art that he has gradually accumulated. Expect to be sitting close to fellow guests and on odd chairs with odd patterned china but it's all part of the fun. The food: mum, the pescatarian, loved the aubergine starter and the fish on offer. The lasagne starter was to die for and the chicken so tasty! My bf thought the chorizo on his pizza was incredible. And the lamb gorgeous too. The pain Tchinch was soooo good and a dessert fiend's best friend. A bit like a Belgian waffle. The moelleux au chocolat is always decadent. The food portions are substantial and for the 31 euros for a three course menu (which does not restrict your choices), a bargain! I didn't indulge much this week in wine but I did try Didier's and it was lovely. The upstairs: part of the roof is missing upstairs in the chill out area and it's lovely and cool. Wonderful for relaxing on the sofas/chairs for a complimentary shot of limoncello at the end of the evening.Verdict: this is a lovely hidden gem set in an ancient village with more character than you can find elsewhere in the Côte d'Azur."

"The dishes are very rich and tasty, but I find it very expensive and especially since some dishes were not available compared to the map. especially the most expensive I could have taken because I had a smartbox. I felt a little scammed because of that, that's a shame."

"central situation in the city. atypical and warm room. cordial and professional reception. good table, excellent even but pay attention to the excess of confidence that would become of pretention. a little too much stimur pepper, for example in different dishes. It's easy on top. In the evening we can quickly ignite and prices fly away. the noon the table is a pure address. Even better eat at the counter by letting the chief take you to his suggestions. list of very correct wines at reasonable prices. Pay attention to the young man who is an officiator who must understand that sometimes customers have at least as much knowledge as he and can be more and that to sell his product we must remain honest. without a grudge, it is necessary for young people to be made. brief a very good address the top 5 of cogolin"

"Maybe we were lucky or it's the norm. For 23 € we have 9 oysters, Bress Chicken Stew and various desserts. Everything was of high quality and where some other choices (Foie grass and fresh goat cheese Raviolis). The service was excellent and the cook came out to talk to us. If you are in the region and are on budget (or if you are not), this is highly recommended. Thanks to Michelin for the Bib category."

"Bang in the centre of one of my favourite towns is this little gem. We've heard of friends and family visiting the restaurant over the years and this year decided to give it a go.This morning their phone was permanently busy, so on our way to the beach we decided to call in and check it out. It was market day, but the traders were starting to pack up, so we timed it just right.We were greeted by very friendly owners and staff and managed to book ourselves a table for the evening. It was three of us, myself, my wife and our 15 year old son.A good menu, fairly priced, and lovely setting. I had fillet steak 'a point', my wife had sea bass (bar) fillet, and our son had a cheese burger. We started with some tempura (breadcrumbed actually) prawns and melon and prosciuto.Good range of salads as well, so plenty to choose from.Next year we will be back."
