Cafe du Midi sur Tourrettes-Sur-Loup

Authentic. Good, affordable food and nice atmosphere.

We arrived here by "chance" and went in after seeing the sign advertising a great Pan Bagnat! What a pleasant surprise! A quick and simple meal, but very good. The Pan Bagnat and Niçoise salad were excellent: faithful to the original recipes, with both quality and quantity! Good desserts too. Smiling and efficient waitresses. Vintage sports café decor that makes you feel like you're back in your youth. Thanks to the owner who even offered us coffee for the whole table!

Here on the terrace, many years ago, very early one beautiful summer morning, I drank the best café au lait of my life. The lovely square across the street was still deserted, the sun was just rising, and it was somehow magical. That was about 25 years ago, and unfortunately, I haven't been back since. But whenever I drink a good coffee, anywhere in the world, I often think back to that beautiful spot.

We stopped in for coffee and a bite to eat, but in the end I went somewhere else to find something sweet because the options were so limited and we didn't like them. The service wasn't good, the atmosphere was very noisy, and there were some odd people standing outside. All in all, it wasn't a good experience. The only nice thing was the view, as it overlooks the plaza.
