We are so fortunate we found this location and gave it a try. we had the feta and spinach risotto, and the charcuterie board. this was the best risotto we have ever had.

We walked around and around, but because it was February, some restaurants were closed because it was not tourist season. After walking past Le Chaudron twice already, the third time I looked down and saw a light on, and realized, "Hey, that's a restaurant down there in that cave place!" Ok, I don't think it's LITERALLY in a cave, but maybe it is. It's set downstairs and the walls are made of old stone, and of course, it's in a very old building as is all of old Antibes. I ordered a fantastical pasta dish while my husband ordered a seafood dish. Not only was the food tasty, but what really put this place over the edge was the service. We are not fluent in French, but my husband speaks a little. The owner of the restaurant spoke very little English. She was just so gracious in trying to listen to my husband attempt French, and the three of us really tried hard to communicate which actually made for an interesting and enjoyable time. She understood our dietary needs and was trying really hard to make sure certain ingredients would be ok for us. We ate vegetarian on this trip, with my husband adding in seafood here and there, so it wasn't tough at all. I really loved how cozy this place was. While the menu (although all in French) was good with a nice variety, and the food quality and taste was excellent, the service really put this over the edge for both of us!

Consider me impressed...this very romantic restaurant near the Musee Picasso had divine views and…read moreexcellent food and service. This place would make the ideal date place or a great place for anniversaries. You need a reservation to get a seat for the 10 or so outdoors table with the view of the sea, but the inside space was still great if you can't get the reservation. The meal started out with an excellent degustation of goat cheese with chives-infused olive oil that was very flavorful, as we all ordered the prix fixe meal. The soupe de poisson was sophisticated and delicate, served table side in this beautiful jar with an excellent aioli (although they do skimp on the toast pieces) and parmesan cheese. The ravioli with mushroom served with lobster was a close second for the appetizer, with a more rustic seafood broth that was more gritty and raw, whereas the soupe de poisson was more velvety. The meal was followed by a squid ink gnocchi with this Parmesan cheese foam, which was very flavorful without overwhelming the gnocchi. The dish also had these small onions and olives, neither if which I care for, but I am not a fan of small raw pearl onions or olives. Then the main dish of champagne risotto with fish and truffles came, which took me to the edge of fullness, as I could not finish the third piece of the fish on the plate, even though the portion sizes were all rather reasonable. The sea bass was great, I could not figure out the other two fishes. My risotto was slightly undercooked, but the mushrooms in the dish made up for that. Finally, we had the dessert course and I liked my cherry cake. I would have gotten the panna cotta, but it had a mango sauce with pieces of strawberries (I am sadly allergic to mango and they had already placed the sauce on all the pre-made martini-glasses of panna cotta). I would have loved to try their coffee, but it was super late. The petit four included this great dark chocolate with a piece of small dry cherry on it and an ok cookie. The service was attentive and the waiters were great. The ambience is really impressive and even the silverware and dishes were beautiful. The orchid and lighting on the tables were endearing. The views/vista of this place is what sends this place to a magical experience for me, given that most of the seats face the water. I was told that the rose wine was superb. This restaurant is enough if a reason to visit Antibes. I loved being here with my friends, but would love to bring my future husband here one day for an anniversary. It would be like one of those fantasy dates on the American TV show "the Bachelor(ette)".

When you look at other reviews, sort them by "newest", not "relevance" and you will see this type of experience is not an anomaly. I never do reviews, but had such an unpleasant experience that I want to warn others. We ate at this restaurant tonight and there was some plastic wrap in one of the dishes. It was like the dish had been unwrapped before heating and a piece of plastic left in the food. (it was the half royal pigeon in puff pastry). We told the waiter who took the dish away without any comment. No one apologized, and no replacement or other food was offered. After that, we no longer wanted to finish our other dishes and we declined to order dessert or coffee. We requested the bill. When the bill came, it Included the €38 dish that had plastic in it. I told the waiter that I had not received any recognition of the problem or apology for the issue, and it was not acceptable to charge me for the dish. He said there was no reason to be upset. I responded that I was upset that the restaurant did not acknowledge the problem at all, as I know accidents can happen, but to ignore the problem and charge me for contaminated food was not okay. At that point the waiter removed the charge. The other food was only so so, and the service was poor all night. The only thing good about the restaurant is it's location and water view. You can get the same view by walking along the shore walkway. When I looked back at the other reviews, I realized I should not have been surprised. Many mention the terrible service. I would think the owners -- Stephane and Marie Laure Arnal -- would be embarrassed to have such a poor showing for their restaurant.

The 2 of us had their pre fixe menu for dinner last night, which at EUR49 is a screaming bargain. Their degustation menu was slightly more, but had 6 or 7 courses on offer; with the wine option I think that came to EUR85 (no doubt, another great bargain). Overall the food, service and ambience were all great and we're happy to recommend this very attractive restaurant to any epicure / gourmand visiting Antibes. Reservations are required. We saw the hostess turn more than a few people away. The only disappointment was no dress code. I'm old fashioned. I wore white trousers, a button down shirt and a blue blazer and almost felt out of place. Most other patrons were dressed smart / casual but at least 2 guys showed up in beat up t- shirts, looking like they'd just finished a shift chipping barnacles or paint off of boat hulls; the kind of attire suitable for Burger King. In my humble opinion, Le Vauban should up their game and impose a reasonable dress code more aligned with their reputation, excellent service and gourmet cuisine.

Great steak with blue cheese sauce, followed by desserts of a dark chocolate velvety mousse (for…read moreme) and a dreamy delicious profiterole with ice cream, whipped cream and chocolate sauce (for my husband). The view of Entrevaux was beautiful, and the restaurant had the feel of a comfortable upscale local restaurant. The staff were so gracious despite us forgetting every little bit of French we knew. It's a nice place to linger too, with comfy sofas, a bookshelf of children's and adult books, and a smattering of toys to keep the little ones amused while the grown-ups relax. We loved it and would definitely come again.
