You definitely need to make a reservation, they cannot accommodate walk-ins for dinner (at least, not when it's busy, which seems to be all the time!) Based on reviews, we got oysters, the grilled octopus (delicious), the fresh fish for 2 (sea bass) which was phenomenal, the steak, and for dessert, the famous strawberry soup with ice cream, and chocolate cake. Seafood is their specialty, so any grilled fish will be wonderful. I have never had fish like this. It was indescribably flavorful. We really felt that everything was just... cooked with love, and it shows. Would come here again in a heartbeat!!

Top it off with strawberry soup and vanilla ice cream for dessert! My partner raved about it for the rest of the trip. In terms of atmosphere there is a simple elegance that reminds you of times past , and the waiters , one of whom is the owner and chef's wife , have that special southern French refined manner. I can't wait to go back. It was one of the highlights of our entire trip.

La Chèvre d'Or is a one-of-a-kind restaurant in the medieval village of Èze, with extraordinary…read moreviews over the Mediterranean toward Saint Jean Cap Ferrat. The village itself is incredibly charming, and the restaurant feels completely integrated into its stone lanes and hillside setting. I had never been anywhere quite like it. Admittedly, I cannot remember exactly what I ate, but the meal was rich, elaborate, and left me ridiculously full. I do remember a salt-crusted fish special priced at roughly €300, which captured the scale of the experience. This is classic luxury French dining in one of the most beautiful settings imaginable. Beyond the meal, the entire visit felt special because the restaurant, hotel, and village all seemed connected. Walking through the old stone streets before dinner made arriving there feel like part of the experience. It remains one of the most memorable places I have ever eaten.

We have been to Éze before, but have never stayed in town. We couldn't wait for our stay here, but…read morewere disappointed in many ways. We arrived early and booked with Amex Platinum. We were told that they would try to honor the early check-in upon availability and the room upgrade. We were told that they would call us when the room was ready. Waited until 3PM and had to go to the front desk again to see if the room was ready, it was and no upgrade. My husband was taking a nap due to the jet lag, and we put a do not disturb sign on our door. The front desk called us and woke him up anyways, saying that they saw the "do not disturb" sign but wanted to see if housekeeping could clean now. We found housekeeping staff to be rude as well. Now onto the worst service on property, which was valet. Not only are they unhappy to help you, but they called a taxi for us and forgot to load our luggage. We arrived to the Nice airport without our bag. The only silver lining here was breakfast, which was delicious and accompanied by a beautiful view. We can't recommend this hotel.

The menus were placed around every table, written in chalk but they had an option to use a QR code to look at the options with pictures. We started off the night eating the octopus that was pan seared and served in a lemony, herb sauce. It was at this time, my eyes rolled to the back of my head! So good!! I also ordered the scallop risotto with Parmesan and truffles. Omg! It almost had this floral taste to it, but I'm guessing that was all the truffles? Either way it was mouth watering and I would 100% come back. The service was great, we were sat right away and our waiter helped us with choosing options that were the best for us. 10/10 experience!

I've traveled the world over and have met many a barkeep. This refined gentleman makes the trip worthwhile as he oversees the bar area and pours a delicious drink- all the while making interesting and polite conversation with old world elegance. If you are looking for the slick modernism of a Four Seasons or a Mandarin Oriental, La Voile D'Or is not for you. But our older and charming room with views off the sea were just what made us very sorry to leave. Each day my wife and I tumbled out of bed and down to the stunning pool area where we were greeted by Muriel, Catharine and Isabel who reserved the best chaise lounges for us to gaze at the ocean, enjoy an impeccable lunch, and slip into the sea while ordering off of the refreshing cocktail menu. Such hospitality and service is a hallmark of this gorgeous jewel on the ocean and I hope I return at every opportunity. What a treat! Thank you to the gracious staff that made our trip so memorable each day. Absolutely the best!

L'Aparté is subtle in the way that it introduces you to the menu outside its alcove.

We started with a tomato basil pannacotta beautifully presented with Parmesan shortbread - simply delicious and flavorful. We then enjoyed the wasabi/sesame salmon and roasted pork tenderloin with apples, both exquisite and successfully paired with a delicious couscous, homemade mash, and a parfait of puréed vegetables.

The place is super relaxed. 5 maybe 6 tables which made the difficulty of reservations more understandable. Prix fix menu - 4 appetizers to choose from, 4 entrees and 4 desserts. We were there with somewhat of a limited diet, but the options were awesome. We got a cauliflower appetizer and an artichoke one. Both were excellent. We all had the cod for dinner also delicious - served in a bath of traditional fish soup and with potatoes. The dessert was also excellent - we got the goat cheese in olive oil and garlic, the cream cheese with blueberry compote, lemon cheesecake and cinnamon "tiramisu". Every bite was full of flavor and such cool takes on the food. Now the intangibles - we arrived for our 9pm reservation, restaurant closes at 9:30 and we probably didn't walk out until 11:15 and there was still another table of 8 people dining. The host/waiter, Sebastian, was awesome. So friendly and we at no point felt rushed. In fact the opposite. When our daughter was slow in finishing her meal he joked with her instead of hurrying us along. Once we finished our main dish, he casually brought us our dessert and because we didn't order his favorite (we didn't know) he brought us out an extra to enjoy. We felt a little bad so somewhat accelerated the dessert phase so we could square up and leave. Instead he was unhurried, he casually cleared our table and chatted with us for a bit. It took us another 15 minutes before we finally said could we get the bill. He brought it to us another 5-7 minutes later. We had a great experience and one of our best meals in France, if not the best.
