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.

The view was obscured with fog, but the service was meticulous. The menus are digital, and specials are discussed in person. We had a lovely Italian server who was completely trilingual. An on-site sommelier helps with the drinks and appetizers, which are presented like finery. The dinner show begins with the entree. We ordered the seabass, which is carted in and deboned in the dining room. The mashed potato is an incredible side. As far as medieval dining goes, the gold goat takes the cake.

We were lucky and got a table on a whim later Sunday evening. After being seated on the patio at high top table, we actually gasped seeing the view. It's UNREAL. For the entire dinner, it's almost distracting to just keep staring out at the mountains, water and yachts looming down below. Gorgeous. The service matches the hotels 5-star expectations. Super attentive, quick, and friendly. We had drinks to celebrate a proposal and they also brought out some on the house champagne. For dinner, we actually split the blue lobster pasta. It was more than plenty for 2 people. Absolutely delicious. They bring the lobster and pasta out to mix together in front of you and ugh I am still thinking about that dish to this day. Its a hike to get up to this point. Once you reach the gated area, no cars can reach the top. Well worth the challenge to get up and it's such a unique experience. The walk up is all along the hillside and through the little mountain shops. 100% felt like I was in a movie and would love to come back to stay at the hotel. I don't think they couldn't created a better experience here between the food, menu, view, and service... I wouldn't change a thing.

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. The offerings are standard French cuisine however once the food comes out, one realizes that the quality and creative flair are at a higher level than most restaurants in the area. 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. Overall one of the best dining experiences in the area so I highly recommend a visit.

Good food and service!…read more Food: I had the Parma pizza 4/5 and profiterole 5/5. My sister had the carbonara and crème brûlée and she enjoyed both. Pricing/Value: mid range, what I expected for location. Large portions! We both had half of our main plate to take away. Service: our server was wonderful!!! He set us up at a table outside and noted that the table wobbled on the stone pavement so he brought and placed a piece of wine cork under the table leg to balance it! Later I t started raining and we were seated outside under an umbrella and he helped us move to a different table next to us that had better coverage. Accessibility: restaurant is up a half flight of stairs from the road by the water. There is indoor, more permanent sheltered porch seating, and outdoor seating with umbrellas. They had multiple languages available via QR code: off top I recall English and Italian but there was one or two more listed. Seats are comfortable, "directors chair" style. They all appeared to have arm rests - if you are plus size like me you may have some trouble getting in and out but once in the chair it is VERY comfortable. Bathrooms are unisex with 3 stalls, they are up a half flight of stairs in a loft dinning room. Ceiling in dinning area to pass through are LOW!

This was our favorite meal of our trip to Nice!…read more Warning: Reservations are hard to come by we dropped by and only reservations available were for 9pm two nights later. We took it. 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.
