To begin, this is a charming place to eat outside. If the setting could stand up and take a bow, I…read morewould applaud vigorously. It has the added advantage of being right at the entrance to the town. To continue. The service is abrupt and not particularly attentive, but professional without grace. The food was very mixed. I had a delicious beef, carefully prepared and sauced, but one of my dining partners had a lamb which was tough and tasteless. The real issue that lowered my review score to just "OK" was the cigar smoke from the next table. it is bad enough to have to endure the lessening addiction of the French to stinking up their environment with cigarette smoke, but cigar smoke is beyond the pale. Nothing is as annoying as having a bite of perfectly prepared beef ruined by a cloud of stink from another table. A word to the restaurant management; If you can't see fit to ban smoking from the restaurant, then at least keep it to cigarettes. I would think any self-respecting chef would want his work to be appreciated without the smell of ash over-riding his creations.

My friends ordered variations of the ratatouille. Putting it inside a crepe is such a novel idea and mixed with egg just made it irresistible. After trying it I wished I had ordered the same. I, instead, chose to order the honey, chevre salad. Those are two things that should always be together on a salad. The sweet honey and the baked chevre are MOUTH WATERING. I am unsure of how this message has not been passed along to American restaurants yet. Please start doing this and I will eat salads daily (or maybe just more often than once a month). It had every flavor you could want from a salad and topped with bread to make even more delectable. The view is beautiful and overlooks the valley. You can daydream about the houses you'll never be able to afford or instead about which wines to try next. Clean bathrooms and decent wifi for anyone who cares.The staff are extraordinarily friendly. It was a great experience here and I would highly recommend anyone eat here while in SPDV.

There is a limited menu....no Duck was available so I took note of what other diners were eating. A few diners were enjoying Steak Tartare, not my thing but that lead me to their "Italian Burger" hell if folks will enjoy their raw beef, their burger must be unbelievable. I was right, large burger cooked to a perfect juicy medium with sautéed pancetta and onions, melted mozzarella, tomato and lettuce on a brioche bun....perfect....delicious.....outstanding My wife had the Spaghetti with clams, mild disappointment as a few clams had sand and the sauce was bland. It needed additional garlic and salt to say the least. We wrapped up win traditional creme brûlée which was wonderful. The service was friendly and we were able to communicate even with the language barrier. Prices are slightly high based on the touristy location.

We got there just in the nick of time: there were only two tables left so we snagged the one outside right by the door, a perfect spot for watching both people and the food that was being brought up to the patio. Our server quickly brought us menus and was helpful with the suggestions. We were hungry and having a treat ourselves kind of day (as one does when visiting France) so we shared the Foie gras, Linguini aux Vongole, and Risotto Carnaroli aux Gambas & Parmesan. I don't know much about Foie gras, but what we got was large and fatty, but firm, and richer than any other version I'd had before. The boo really loved it. The Linguini featured lots of delicious clams, but was a bit too oily for me. The Risotto was divine. Perfectly cooked and the Parmesan flakes added fantastic flavor. The shrimp was also large and delicious. I wish there had been more because they were yummy! Although it was way more food than we needed, we savored every last bite! And then had a wonderful stroll along the whimsical streets of Saint-Paul de Vence. What more could you want in a vacation?

Highly recommended restaurant in Vence…read more 3 course meal for under €40. And you get great a view of the country side too. This is a no brainer. Me and a buddy spent a few days in Vence and dined a lot while we were here. Had several foie gras throughout the week and this place (although the foie gras itself is the same as the other restaurants) garnished it with very nice fruit and some greens. Paired well with the foie gras, making it not to rich and fatty. Totally recommend the beef fillet. Nice and juicy. And with a nice bottle of bourdeux, the beef just melts in your mouth. Depending on the time of year, the mosquitoes do become an annoyance if you're eating out in the patio while enjoying the views, so bring some bug spray (just in case).

Or, at least, they were French tourists. The food was excellent, with every dish beautifully presented and very tasty. I noticed that, for my American palette, the dishes were under salted, but they provided this wonderful herb salt with the main course that added a more luscious flavor to the steak I ordered. The avocado salad was simply amazing; the best dish I've had so far in France on this trip. Service was a bit rushed as the server seemed somewhat impatient with our bad French, but I can understand as they seemed to be understaffed. Bathrooms: very small, but beautifully decorated and very, very clean. I love the gold fish art piece and the bit of exposed stone wall. (See photos)
