Located in the old walled city of Grasse it's a short distance from the parfumeries that tourists both French and international love to visit. It's best to park at one of the three nearby parking lots and walk through the windy narrow streets to this restaurant tucked away in the former store rooms of a building. There are the amazing arched brick and stone ceilings and there is a nice cover patio in front perfect for relaxing and enjoy the Cote d'Azur weather. It's the kind of place Pottery Barn and Restoration Hardware go to get inspiration. Very Provinciale. Specializing in cuisine traditionalle there is a nice selection of a la carte starters, mains and desserts as well as two 3 course prix fixe menu for 36 and 26 euro both with many choice for each course. The portions are larger than at most restaurants in France. There are equal selections with seafood and meat and even vegetarian main dishes, not always something easy to find in France. The starter were huge with my salad being loaded with lardons as well a cured duck and the warm goat cheese salad the French spouse was just the way it should be she said and since she grew up in Grasse I'll take her word for it. The mains were equally good with a lamb confit cooked en papillote in filo dough wrapping, served with potatoes gratin and a celery root and parsnip root mash. The French Spouse had a more regional dish which is a seafood stuffed with fish in a tomato broth, it was served with rice and the parnip and celery root mash. The dessert were huge and tasty. One was chocolate mousse cake with a base of Genoise layer with super light but still rich and chocolatey cake with more creme on top and served with a cup of warm chocolate sauce to pour over it. The French Spouse's lemon crepe was full of tangy lemon curd and served with a shot of kir. The place is filled with locals wanting an upscale but comfortable meal. There is a lunch time prix fixe for 13 euro. The dinner menu ranges from 6 to 20 euros per plate and has to the two prix fixe.

We went there for lunch and my 3 years old was with us. We were given a table in the quieter room by the kitchen and it was lovely... until the very rude waiters came along. I thought it was one of the old school French attitude and was trying to scratch the surface to get them to joke but no. We just got very unpleasant service, and got really dry answers to our questions or inquiries. The food semi gastro was very average and quite tasteless to be honest. Despite the lovely set up, we will not go back after this negative experience.

L'Ecole des Filles, literally The School for Girls, is a small restaurant in Le Bar sur Loup, which…read morehas retained its charm of an outdated school... The walls are stone, there are huge wooden beams, the lighting is subtle (but bright enough that you can read the menu!), and it is fairly well-spaced. I didn't pick up the tab as I went with family, but I am certain the price is a bit higher than what is listed on Google. Needless to say, it is a very delicious spot. We went for dinner, and though parking was rather complicated (especially when you have your 90 year old grandmother with you), it was very pleasant. We arrived relatively early, when only one other table was seated, and there were to serves (I believe the owners) waiting the tables. It got slower as the night progressed and other groups got there, so this is perhaps not a place to come by if you have definite plans right after. Food in France! What can go wrong? It was fresh, the flavours were present, and since we were a group, we had the choice of the different menus (they have set menus). Everything was very savory. Will probably go again; it would be nice to try the place at lunch instead this time.

Certainly…read morethis was one of the three best dinners overall I have had in my life, enjoying fine dining throughout the world. This darling and refined establishment is owned by the chef and his wife, lovely people. The art is fascinatingly eclectic on the walls and the music selections were perfect - Sinatra, Natalie Cole, etc. First, the reception by our host was charming and gracious. Service was impeccable, yet relaxed. A glass of champagne started the evening. We both had the same meal: first, the pumpkin soup with foie gras was simply amazing with nuanced flavors and balanced richness. Our main course was sea breem cooked perfectly, and I still have yet to understand just how the fish maintained a good temperature throughout a leisurely meal, down to the last bite. The wine pairing was superb (suggestion of the hostess). Lastly, the chocolate mousse (my favorite desert - if I have had it once I have had it 100 times) was simply ethereal. It is hard to imagine a mousse so distinctly rich and flavorful while being so LIGHT. It was to marvel over! The kindness and cordiality of the owners was a veritable joy and added immensely to our enjoyment of the evening. It is rare to have a dining experience that is PERFECT in every measurable way. This was that rare event. We heartily recommend this lovely restaurant and cherish the opportunity to return again on our next trip.

Overall the pizza was probably great for a French style did not at all match up to our experiences Italy. Both styles are very thin pizza house but the French crust taste like it has too much baking soda in it. It lacks that slightly chewiness and the dough does not at all showing any signs of being raised. Also the cheeses not as good. I did have an egg on top of my pizza which was quite tasty. My mother-in-law and wife had a seafood salad. It looked good but probably was not quite as fresh asAs some of the other places we have had seafood in the south of France. I would come back but I would only expect him OK lunch. By the way, the house wine, red, is good and it's half the price of any bottle. The little dessert with coffee is excellent!

Four of us made the trek for Friday lunch. The setting is so stunning -- though it's off a main(-ish) road, the view from the dining room window makes you feel like you're miles from anywhere, looking out across their fields and a beautiful Provençal valley. The owners greet you and serve you, and they're neither obsequious nor brusque, just friendly and personable. They have a new menu every week (3 entrées, 3 mains, 3 desserts), but for Friday lunch they only have one main dish option, which is, I understand, a rotating aïoli (or perhaps it's the same aïoli every time? At any rate this time it was a very simple fish with freshly steamed or boiled vegetables, and a big bowl of freshly mixed "true aïoli" -- that very garlicky garlic-egg-olive oil emulsion -- for everyone to share). It was tasty and well-made and so simple that I wondered if I need to start giving my taste buds a break and eating more basic vegetables with little or no "treatment". We were all so unanimously enthusiastic about the experience that we reserved to come back that same evening with our whole group. We wanted to try out the full menu and a dessert that apparently never disappears off the menu (it's made in paper with almond and prune and spiced fruit) that smelled wonderful. I wondered if the charm and glow of the place would be lessened the second time, but it absolutely wasn't. Julien is such a kind presence, the food is such a great balance of simple and interesting (my dinner was much closer to the general French aesthetic than my lunch -- a chowder-like fish cassolette starter and a delicious chanterelle risotto), the setting and hosts were once again delightful, and the dessert, well... it was something very special. I recommend anyone make the journey to this great, unique original establishment if you value a complete experience, if you're looking for a romantic dinner or warm night out with friends, or if you just want to try something new.
