But, when we came to the pool area, they told me that it's private area and we have to buy beds to be able to swim there. So, we left. Next day me and my friend went to private area so we can swim in the pool. And then I was just shocked!!! Here comes family with a 16-18 yrs old son and guess what?!?! They let them swim in the pool while they are not attending private area. NOT FAIR!!! After we went to have lunch at their restaurant. Food is horrible, fish wasn't fresh. The service is poor quality. Waitresses are screaming to each other which order to take or which table to serve. Also, make sure to check your bills. The bottle of wine was added to it when we didn't order it. Not organized at all!!!

It's a super delicious and refreshing mocktail to have on a hot day by the water. The pesto pasta was perfect! The flavors were so yummy and it was really good with the tomatoes and straciatella cheese. You can never go wrong with fries and these were the perfect thickness with the perfect amount of salt. Highly recommend this spot in the South of France.

La Grande Cave is a winestore where you can enjoy your bottle as it is or togother with light food…read more Selection of wines is small, but good. They have everything from full bodied red wines, whites, rosé and Champagne. You buy the bottle in the store. If you would like to enjoy the bottle at La Grande Cave or just have a glass of the bottle, corkage is €8. The light food is well presented, is of high quality and is very individual depending on the waiter. One dish can be garnished with paprika and strawberries by one and with tomatoes by another. Interesting and authentic! You can also buy wine by the glass. They have red/white/rosé of the day for about €8 with higher quality than neighboring restaurants. The winestore/bar has about 6 small tables in a steep alley located in central Villefranche. During high season there is a calm flow of people strolling by. The environment is beautiful with a glimpse of the harbour. This is a perfect place to enjoy a glass of wine before dinner. Maybe buy a bottle, have a glass of it and finish it with dinner at home or at a restaurant nearby?

We loved it enough to want to return Saturday. My dad stopped by Saturday to make a reservation and was told they were fully booked. Shortly after, I called from my US phone number not on purpose. The moment the owner saw the New York area code, her tone completely changed -- she was thrilled, saying "Bonjour New York, can't wait to see you," and made sure we had a table. When we arrived that evening, the same woman recognized me immediately as part of the Romanian family she'd turned away that afternoon. Her face fell. She turned to her colleague and had us seated at a cramped table at the very end -- despite the reservation being for 4 and my name already written down for the good table she'd set aside for "New York." There is no version of this that isn't about where she thought we were from. The only thing that changed between "fully booked" and a warm welcome was a US phone number, and the only thing that changed between that welcome and a bad table was seeing our faces. By that point I was too unsettled to even touch the drink I'd ordered -- we just paid and left. Genuinely one of the most uncomfortable, humiliating experiences I've had at a restaurant. Do not go here.

This truly is a family establishment where you can quickly become a regular, which means they will be looking out for you and your interests. It's ideal for a light breakfast or a glass with a book after work. I was in Villefrance-sur-Mer for a month, studying at the Institut de Français, and Chez Betty made me feel at home of an evening. If you cannot speak French, no matter; the staff are fluent in English. The neighborhood is pleasant, safe and ideal for catching a bus or walking to the old town.

Possibly the most fun I've ever had while absolutely furious…read more Anjuna Plage is quite a remarkable place. Nice beach, rosé flowing, music pumping and, by late afternoon, everyone from 20-year-olds to people old enough to know better dancing on the tables. It looked FANTASTIC. Unfortunately, we'd arrived at 1.55pm for our 2pm reservation. We sat down at 3.50pm. Not because somebody eventually remembered us, but because after nearly two hours of smiling, asking nicely, reminding reception that we existed and watching people who'd arrived after us being seated, my wife finally cornered a manager and effectively negotiated our release from restaurant purgatory. By this point Anjuna had erupted into one of the best parties on the Riviera. And I was absolutely livid. I've rarely experienced the peculiar sensation of watching 200 people have the time of their lives while becoming progressively more miserable myself. I wanted to dance on a table. I wanted another margarita. I wanted to be one of those carefree people waving a napkin above their head. Instead I sat there smarting at the total disrespect and humiliation they served up. The food was average. The party was great. The management's attitude towards customers was utterly appalling. Anjuna appears to have mistaken being popular for having permission to treat people like shit. Perhaps when you've got a queue of people keen to get in, customers start to look less like guests and more like livestock with credit cards. Which is a shame, because underneath all the arrogance there's actually a fantastic place trying to get out. Would I go back? NOT EVER!

A much hyped place with (so I've heard) amazing Sunday parties…read more Went with a boat with some friends who frequently eat lunch here. The restaurant is beautiful and romantic in the evenings. Lots of large parties dressed up for the dinner. The service was slow and pretty unattentive. The (very over-prized) menu had some interesting things in it, but they had run out of some of the main courses. The food we did have was okay - the meat dishes were great even. To sum it up: if you want to party with an unlimited budget with friends who like to dress up for a beach restaurant this is your place. For people who like to have a serious meal I would not recommend it.

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!
