The food and service is what you would expect from 3 stars. I would not eat on the terrace because of the pigeons on the tables.

This is an exceptional restaurant. The decoration is modern and comfortable. The service was perfect - highly attentive but not overbearing. The seafood was fresh, of very high quality and creatively presented. The wine list was excellent and the wine was served at ideal Temperatures, for reds as well as whites. To be highly recommended.

Getting there by car was an absolute nightmare. The GPS led us to a narrow alley with our rented car just barely making it (with the side mirrors turned in). It looked as if it was going into a dead end, but luckily two nice gentlemen (also guests looking for the restaurant) - were nice enough to point us to... More

They should strip this place of all its stars. It is pretentious to the point of being absurd. This is the worst Michelin starred food I have eaten in France or elsewhere. Staff are uncaring. Parking is a total nightmare. In my 40 years of dining I do not remember a more awful experience. Avoid. Avoid. Avoid. And Michelin please... More

We have been many times to this restaurant over the years. They well deserve their third 3* Michelin. The food is always excellent. This chef has a way of preparing all kinds of fish that we do not find anywhere else. Worth the detour (not easy to find if you are driving - but with a good GPS... you will... More

Went here with my husband on his birthday vacation to the South of France. Absolutely stunning venue with a fabulous view from both the restaurant and the bar. Service was excellent and all the staff could speak English and French. We had the five course sea food tasting menu for lunch with matching wines but had several extra dishes from... More

We stayed 2 nights, our room was at the front with a terrace overlooking the rocks and the sea with superb views. The staff were friendly and very efficient in every way and all spoke English. We had the 'Fish Menu' which ran to 14 courses and was fabulous food, inventive tastes, attractive presentation, beautiful cooking. The sommeliers were both... More

A walk from the old harbor brings you to this nearly impossible place to find - but it is worth it. The food is refined but not over the top the staff very attentive but not overpowering the view well its almost worth going just for that. Who needs air conditioning when the natural drafts keep the inside cool (ish).... More
