La Trinquette's owner actively supports local folk and jazz bands and strives to give them wider visibility. And oh yeah, the food. I love their mussels (Moules) and thought I would never order anything else on the menu. During our last visit the server encouraged my wife and I to try their signature dish, the whole fish. Although I could not understand her description in French I could see her enthusiasm for this dish, and enthusiasm does not require a translation! So we both ordered the whole fish. I'm originally from Seattle and now live in San Diego so I've eaten quite a bit of seafood. Honest folks my wife and I rated this as our favorite fish dinner, ever! Lastly, La Trinquette sits quietly, somewhat undiscovered alongside Villefranche marina. The main tourist zone and train station are east of the castle. La Trinquette is just west of the castle. Although easy walking distance most tourists don't venture past the castle. Better for me as I can dine with the locals!

We happened upon this lovely place during our stop of at the Citadelle diring Le Grand Tour. We…read morewere walking around, doing a bit of shopping then decided to eat before heading back on the tour. To start, I ordered the cherry mojito! It was amazing. It was light and fruity, with just the right amount of mint. When I got to the bottom of the drink I ate all the cherries in my glass and they tasted great. Between the kids and I we ordered the lasagna, the veal Milanese and the margarita pizza. The lasagna portion was enough for two! It was served in a large crock. The pizza dough was light and crispy and very good. I had the veal and ate every last bite! Our server was friendly and wasn't upset that our French was less than acceptable. Very extensive menu of food and drinks and a definite recommend!

Our French waiter was polite and friendly, and spoke English well. Second trip -- not a particularly friendly waiter. I don't think this place is French owned.

The mozzarella and tomato appetizer, as well as the tuna tartare were fresh and delicious. We also tried the shrimp risotto and the sea bass for two, which were both fantastic! The sea bass for two was really impressive, being prepared and presented in a salt crust. We were also celebrating a birthday and they brought out a delicious strawberry cake with sparklers! It was a great experience and we would all return and recommend this restaurant!

I've traveled the world over and have met many a barkeep. This refined gentleman makes the trip worthwhile as he oversees the bar area and pours a delicious drink- all the while making interesting and polite conversation with old world elegance. If you are looking for the slick modernism of a Four Seasons or a Mandarin Oriental, La Voile D'Or is not for you. But our older and charming room with views off the sea were just what made us very sorry to leave. Each day my wife and I tumbled out of bed and down to the stunning pool area where we were greeted by Muriel, Catharine and Isabel who reserved the best chaise lounges for us to gaze at the ocean, enjoy an impeccable lunch, and slip into the sea while ordering off of the refreshing cocktail menu. Such hospitality and service is a hallmark of this gorgeous jewel on the ocean and I hope I return at every opportunity. What a treat! Thank you to the gracious staff that made our trip so memorable each day. Absolutely the best!

First off, let me say: I'm an Idiot for going in there in the first place... run down, waiters in dirty t-shirts, shabby interior... Literally every other Restaurant has nice looking staff, white tablecloths etc... When I needed a few more seconds to decide on what would be the least of the evils on the menu, the waiter actually said 'ok, I'll come back next week'. Aaaalright. Then there was an amuse-bouche... onion pizza, which wouldn't have looked very appetizing WITHOUT the Bitemarks(photo) - serving as a stern reminder that we shouldn't throw something out just because the last guest/waiter had a little nibble... Yeah, at that point it was damage control, don't get sick... Of course the changed side didn't arrive with the main course of grilled-to-death freeze-dried fish and the Scallops on the Nuked Risotto(ish Substance) were raw and therefore, at least at this fine establishment, less than trustworthy. When I asked for the side he yelled 'you still want that?!' and sure as S+@#! it popped up on our Check at the end... the guy was obviously very used to not giving a shit after people didn't like the food, so I didn't go down that particular road. I couldn't help but admire the sheer joy the staff seemed to feel punking the guests. Try to Avoid being on the receiving end, though. My Tip: Pick one of the places on either side. You'll pay more, but that buys you the entertainment of watching the poor guys suffer on the other side.

We had a table for 7 perched in a private overhang right over the water. Our 6:30 PM reservation meant front-row seats to a gorgeous Mediterranean sunset. We had an excellent prix-fixe menu for our large group and every single dish was perfection, and the cocktails were fantastic. Our server Nicholas was super attentive. The only minor bump was when we asked about the tip being included; we were told no, but later realized standard service charge was already built-in, leading us to tip far above French customs. We were fine leaving extra for him, but it felt a little misleading. Book early! Tables fill up fast depending on the season, but it is 100% worth it.

Maybe five different people came to our table at various times and none of them seemingly were aware of what the other staff members were doing. 3 after we finished. More to come... Nicoise salad- ok. Famous artichoke appetizer- not to be missed. Prices ? High. Deserts- an uninspired uninteresting hodgepodge. If you like, looking at the tail-end of yachts and smelling gassiest fumes, this is heavenly. Although this may seem like "a tourist trap" all the locals seem to love this place. What really rubbed me the wrong way and cost them one (or maybe two stars) in this review! They very aggressively pushed three times for a tip. Three separate people. Nothing cohesive just greedy. And the fact that I didn't even recognize these people was disheartening. You follow what I'm saying? We had no one server. It was a mishmash of annoyed people. And then three separate people asked us for a tip. We always tip. But we found this tedious. My understanding (and it could be completely incorrect mind you) is that they only do this to Americans.
