    This restaurant has very good dishes. The "duo de brochette de poulet" is very good, the mains are also tasty and you can have as much as side as you want. They also have very good burgers served with french fries which are tasty and copious. They also propose"Ben and Jerry s ice cream as dessert which is delicious! Try it!

    Wonderful place and very convenient. Duck was a bit more done than I asked for but still a good meal. The red wine was nice and smooth.

The only reason I removed 1 star is because some customers were a little tired waiting for service. One worker only for the full restaurant.

    This was our last night in France and it was a perfect way to end our trip. First the atmosphere…read moreof this small restaurant is really great. The noise level really allows you to have good time with friends but it is quiet enough o have a one one dinner. The walls are covered w/ wine bottles and menu's are written on chalk boards with white chalk, creates a special environment. The somolier also chose very good wine to pair with the food and it was reasonably priced. We were 6 all together and we managed to order all but 2 things that were on the menu and I must say everything was excellent. The starters included a broccoli soup w/ lime chantilly and smoked Salmon, this was really tasty. The root vegetable and crispy tart w/ meat was delicious the rock octopus w/ beans in a Mediterranean salad was awesome! Finally the lightly poached egg w/ mashed celery in chantelly cream was also very good. Our main courses were a fillet of sea-bass w/ artichoke, olives, red peppers and anchovies. The Pluma de patanegra with mashed potatoes was awesome this pork dish had so much flavor that I would have licked the plate had nobody been looking, really great. The double pork chop was very tasty with garlic juice and "granille"potatos. The hanger steak was also really good as well as the ravioli stuffed with "double nicoise", onions, mushrooms and slow cooked ham. Finally the dessert were really good as well, my favorite was the waffle! this was delicious, homemade w/ cream and a chocolate caramel drizzled on top. I can't remember the details of the others but the pics give a hint as to how good they were.

The pizza seemed like regular old pizza, it was so chewy and had a great bite. The cheeses also melded together so well. Loved loved loved. The gluten free pasta was penne which I was slightly disappointed because all gluten free places only offer penne pasta as the alternative and I would have thought this place would be different given it so highly touts its gluten free options. The truffle dish was still outstanding, the flavor was so decadent and creamy but not weighing you down, and I loved how much sauce there was. We have leftovers! I got the limencello spritz and my friend got the Gigi mojito. Hers was definitely on the sweet side but it tasted like fresh orange. We both were like... is there alcohol in here? There was. The prices were pretty consistent with higher end gluten free Italian, not too bad. The service was so slow. I know we are in France so typically it's slower and more of an "enjoy your meal and the experience" but our table was noticeably not tended to as much as others. For example our drinks took legit 15 mins to come out after ordered them... Overall though, the food carried the restaurant. No air flow inside except for a small oscillating fan so if it's nice enough outside, that's actually your best bet. The inside has pretty lights and the chairs we sat on were green velvet which is pretty cool.

    My favorite place in Nice. Completely gluten free and the food actually tastes good! The burger is…read moreexcellent. Outdoor and indoor seating. Definitely make a reservation GET THE TIRAMISU!!!!

    This restaurant is nestled in the entrance of old Antibes- just a stone throw from the archeology…read moremuseum. If you keep walking up that path you will eventually get to the Picasso Museum. After a long day of exploring Old Antibes we were hungry. We were hungry for a nice steak dinner. We had outdoor seating and could hear the crashing waves from the beach area--- even over the music. We ordered steaks and a dessert. Golden beef offers many cuts from around the world. I am an avid BBQer and consider myself a good critique when it comes to meats. The main reason I did not give this restaurant 5 stars was for 2 reasons. Reason 1-Although the restaurant was somewhat busy- they never came to check on our meal or how our meat was cooked. I needed more to drink and ended up grabbing my drink from my backpack. Reason 2- Meat was ok. It did not give me explosions or beautiful memories when I ate each morsel. Meat lacked something. When I bite into a steak I want to feel a romance in my mouth of different flavors--- flavors of grilling, flavors of seasoning and flavors of the juices. Seasoning? Not sure.....It was lightly seasoned and the delicious taste of the meat stood out- but still, something was missing . I selected my meal with a chimichurri and the chimichurri was ok- it did not add to the meat. I realized after I finished my meal what was missing, what it was.... A nice crust.... It just did not have the sear that gives the meat that nice crust. I am guessing here- I believe it may be cooked sous vide and then just finished lightly in the end.... I feel when you do that's you loose some of that smoky element you get when you grill or pan fry- sometimes that grizzle adds a deep element that can't be replicated. There was no juiciness when I cut the steak--that juiciness you like mopping up with a nice piece of bread or a side dish... the juiciness you get when all of a sudden you eat it all up and you look at your neighbors plate to steal their food. Will I come back? Yes. Mainly because I want to try other items at this restaurant. The dessert was delicious! And the location is a no brainer.... If you are in old Antibes, it's a nice place to end the evening at.
