"In this location, surrounded as it is with large restaurants spilling out onto the pavement with their me-too menus of les pizzas and pâtes and overly familiar sounding meals, it is most unexpected to find a bespoke and personal restaurant offering a fine selection of dishes cooked with care. The menu, described appropriately as the 'carte du moment' presents a mercifully small number of seasonal and therefore changing entrées, plats and desserts. However, it is still hard to choose. Each one is enticing, interesting and original with the promise of flavours, combinations of ingredients and textures, without tricks and unnecessary embellishment. For a large number, a selection of all the entrées as share dishes makes a lot of sense. Everyone gets a taste of something and the difficulty of having to choose is avoided. For the plats, a single selection is best with pork, duck, tuna and salmon along with risotto as options on the night we were there. A fine burger also available is perhaps a concession to the location and, actually, a very fine dish. Four desserts are offered with each one tempting and beautifully prepared. Another selection for the table is highly recommended. The wine list is adequate and the ambiance works for lone dining as well as for a larger and more raucous group. The service is smiling and efficient as well as courteous. This is a place to make a favourite. The risk to this reviewer is that it will become deservedly highly popular and impossible for last minute bookings."

"It is a chef who cooks with passion to prepare such good dishes, everything is fresh and especially they are local products, for me it is a gourmet cuisine. For desserts it is simply extraordinary that I have no other words. The service is irreproachable. Thank you to Christelle and Thibault for this beautiful evening."

"Lovely cosy restaurant with very good service and tasty dishes. We booked in advance (reservations highly recommended) and arrived earlier than opening time, but they were kind and let us in and prepared the table. Menu is simple with 3 starters, 3 main dishes and desserts, wine list is also very good. The dishes were absolutely fantastic, very tasty and well prepared. We shared 2 starters and 2 desserts (for four) and had each a main course, plus a bottle a wine and sparkling water, 200€. Would definitely recommend!"

"For a long time, the fave of locals and yachties was for good and cheap pizza and pasta in Antibes. New cook adds vegetarian specialties daily, which are usually very good. Owner Marine keeps everything running smoothly in any language. You can always count on finding a friend or two there! I love half pizza and salad personally!"

"Extremely disappointed. The rather sad place, with the feeling that our table was in the entrance. Unceasingly stripped plates A more than average service. When you're wearing a taost, the server is interrupting. The wine was not blown before we served. The waiting much too big between each dish. The entrance bigger than the main dish. Not bad, but with a more than funny aspect rather shy. The green cabbage oyster, the whole looked rather like a gray and red brain! We even hesitated to swallow it. Micro portion of pigeon and its ravioli in which there was much too much. Not being a dessert fan, we chose the cheese plate. Great disappointment we had the equivalent of a tiny teaspoon of goat cheese drowned in the green salad. Point. I mean, we had to go get our coats in the closet. I really don't understand the star. Neither for the kitchen, nor for the place, nor for the service."
