Caffè Italiano sur Menton

30/09/2026: The server was very kind, especially after a busy season. Top!

22/09/2026: We went there to eat on Sunday, the day of Heritage Days. Between two pre-booked visits, we had to be very efficient: visit quickly, eat quickly… in short, do heritage in commando mode. This kind of restaurant, with a view of the beach and an ideal location to grab passing tourists, is exactly the kind of place you try to avoid. But that day, there wasn't really a choice: that or nothing at all. And, since culture without food quickly loses its appeal, we took the risk. And frankly, a pleasant surprise awaited us: a very fresh paella, not dry, and above all, quite generous. Mussels, shrimp, small calamari rings… There was even enough rice to make us wonder if we had actually ordered two portions or if the restaurant owner had simply decided to feed us for the next two days, LOL. I wondered if this generosity was due to the fact that we had ordered two portions of the same paella, or if the restaurant owner was either a little off with math :-), or simply much more generous than expected. In any case, we didn't have the energy to finish all the rice. And it's not often you can say that about a paella. So, really very good… at least this time and for us.
