After unsuccessfully trying to get into two super popular restaurants for lunch, the boo and I were told Le Tilleul Menthe was a good spot. 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? read more

Fantastic spot for lunch just left and up a little slope after you enter into the village, Saint Paul de Vence! Sit outside in the sunshine if you can but there's lots of seating inside as well. The food is fresh and perfectly prepared! You do need to ask for bread if you want any but the service was good and they do speak some English. If you like seafood, I highly recommend their Linguine vongole and the salmon was very good too! They have a great selection of salads too! read more

Terrible!!! DO NOT COME!! Served lamb chops that cost almost 50 euros that were served as 90 percent FAT!!! Asked waiters nicely if they would change out the food or take it off the bill and they refused. Other food wasn't great as well. Servers all had terrible attitude and over priced. Save yourself time and money and do not eat here!! read more

What a find! I had thought given the close proximity to the entrance way to the old town that this was going to be a " tourist trap". But the food was wonderful and the service matched it as well. I stopped in for lunch on a sunny Thursday afternoon. The hostess warmly greeted me and asked if I wanted to sit inside or out. With the lovely patio area beckoning me shaded by a very old tree, the decision was not a hard one. "Out", said I and was quickly seated at the perfect table shaded from the sun but where I could watch the people go by. While they had several specials that day- I opted for the "reconstructed salade Nicoise " which came with a poached egg instead of the more traditional hard boiled version and was served with olive oil and balsamic vinaigrette . And of course- no meal would be complete without some crunchy French bread and a glass of red wine. Both were perfection on the spring afternoon. My server spoke good English and even tolerated my bad french which was even more appreciated. A lovely treat to sit outside and enjoy my meal and at 25e it felt like it was well worth the money. And if you choose to use the restrooms after your meal- you will enter the restaurant and climb up a very tight circular staircase to the 2nd floor to some very clean unisex restrooms. Another plus? This restaurant also runs a little ice cream/ gelato shop next door. I ordered my favorite scoop in a bowl ( salted caramel for those of you wondering) and with spoon in hand, continued on my journey to explore this darling town. I had many lunches on this trip, but none quite as enjoyable as sitting outside, listening to the people around me as I enjoyed my food under the leaves of a very old tree. Tres Bon! read more

Food was good. Waitress was dumb as a rock. When asked what she recommended. She was so clueless. read more

Worst Michelin restaurant I have ever been to (currently counting 67). Services are slow and poor on every aspect of hospitality. I would ask everyone to stay away from this restaurant and spend your money on something worthwhile. read more

Le Tilleul Menthe - French Near Me - Champniers, 06

Best restaurant in town. We loved the food there and went there twice in four days. The fish and pasta are really good.

Outstanding dinner. Outside and inside tables. Traditional French menu but with flair (in October the pumpkin soup cappuccino with truffles was fun) and all very well executed. Informal but sophisticated. Well located on a beautiful, beautiful little street. Regional wine list. read more

Le Tilleul Menthe - View down the street from our table at dinner - French Near Me - Champniers, 06

Worst service and very rude staff. Very touristy spot, avoid at all costs. Glasses were dirty, staff acted as if they didn't want to be there and was so hard to get their attention but happily served customers who spoke French... read more

Cute little place! Stumbled upon it right after we entered Saint Paul. The food was fresh and delicious. Our server spoke little English but was really nice. Definitely recommend it if visiting this charming little town. read more

Poor service. Unbelievably rude. They operate like they have a lock on customers - they kind of do, given how touristy the place is. Server was seriously disinterested in serving us. We also watched her "clean" tables with her hand. read more

My husband and I were able to be seated without a reservation at 9pm on a Friday night. The ambiance was fabulous. So pretty sitting on the terrace at night near the tree. The candle at the table helped drive the mosquitos away that can be awful at night. The Cod was delicious. My husband thought his chicken was just ok. The Cafe Gourmand on the dessert menu was nice. The dessert portions were small, but the custard was yummy. read more

Great food and service. I ordered the orange prosecco cocktail, the cod, and the hazelnut espresso. They were all very good. My wife thought her clam pasta was ok. Still gave 5 stars because our waitress was super cool. read more

The place is nice, but the food was not great. Fish needed salt, calamari fries were a greasy mess. Not impressed at all.

Terrible service - sat down at a table and had to wait over 15 minutes to actually see a waiter, despite asking to order on multiple occasions. There are at least two staff whose sole purpose is to stand around handing out menus, but view themselves as far to important to take an order, or even go and ask the single waiter if they can come and serve you. When the waiter finally did arrive, we were told we were not allowed to share a plate of food, and must order two plates. We were also early for lunch - at this point there was only two other tables sitting down. After the long wait and service we received so far didn't bother to stick around - stay away, clearly value profits above all else. read more

Le Tilleul hates its customers, waiters hate serving I thought I have seen bad service and arrogance at all levels but this place took it to new levels. We had (or tried to have) breakfast at this place. When we arrived, it took 15 minutes for a waitress to arrive even though we were the only patrons in the restaurant at the time. First they told us they can offer only bread and jam and they were out of even basic pastries such as pain au chocolat. When my wife went and checked, she saw they did indeed have bakeries in the store and only then they graced us with their bakeries. When the waitress brought second round of coffee, we ordered some water. She then protested that we are making her go back and forth and should order everything at once. When we told her it is her job to 'go back and forth' she rolled her eyes and went to a French customer to complain about us. Avoid this place at all costs. St Paul de Vence is a great place with lots of good options and you don't need you mood to be spoiled by arrogant staff who hates foreigners. read more

beautiful location and nice wait staff, the bread and gazpacho were disappointing, i'd recommend the goat cheese salad or the beef with truffle. read more
