Jilali B sur Theoule-Sur-Mer

It was perfect, nothing to complain about, nice, refined setting, pleasant and warm welcome.

the context: we were two guests last evening (Saturday 09/14/2024). We had two appetizers, two starters, two main courses, two coffees and two glasses of wine. We paid €200. We chose La Maréa because we wanted to eat fish and that is the specialty of this Restaurant. The restaurant has parking. It is located on the slopes above Figuette beach and therefore has a magnificent view in the room with large bay windows. The Room itself is very pleasant, the tables welcoming and generously sized with superb rubber (?) on the ceiling for the most beautiful effect. We were very well settled, it was very cozy. The cutlery: nothing to report, very clean, pretty glasses, pretty fabric tablecloth, beautiful and large napkins. The service: absolutely perfect from a person with amazing interpersonal skills: neither obsequious nor too distant without the absolutely formal side that this position often takes on in restaurants that aim to be of a certain standard. This Service pleasantly extended the favorable atmosphere given by the room and the table. The service was a little long: 2 hours but not endless given the general comfort. My sound level meter measured an average sound environment of 70 dB, which is very good for a restaurant. The restaurant plays my music constantly, which I'm not a fan of, but which can be ignored and doesn't interfere with conversation. In short, the service is worth 5 out of 5. Bread: I often judge a restaurant not only for its dishes but also for its bread and coffee. The bread served was perfect, crispy crust and soft crumb. Aperitifs: two Spritz, one without alcohol (€12 +€12): very well prepared. Nothing to report. Starters: fish soup and 6 oysters (€22 and €22): two excellent dishes. Cancale oysters served with half a lemon and shallot vinegar rarely disappoint. They had the drawback of only being 6. The fish soup was absolutely perfect, both in consistency and taste with a saffron rouille and homemade croutons. Perfect The dishes: a bouillabaisse and a back of sea bream (€59 and €37): Nothing to say for the sea bream, cooked with precision. Regarding the bouillabaisse I only give 4 out of 5 because although the soup was delicious (the same as that served as a starter), I am more reserved for the fish which to my taste was slightly overcooked. The drink: 2 glasses of Château Minuty Blanc (€24), a wine that I love and which goes wonderfully with fish dishes. The 2 coffees (€6): nothing to report. Of course, the aperitif and coffees are accompanied by the Chef's creations, the details of which I didn't remember but they were very good. In short, despite my hesitation about the bouillabaisse, I give 5 out of 5 for the cuisine. You will leave the table with the feeling of having eaten good food in sufficient quantity and for a very good quality/price ratio, considering that we are on the Côtes d'Azur. No problem for me, I will come back on occasion with pleasure to try the other dishes on the menu which seemed very well balanced to me.

Good experience in this seaside restaurant. The view is magnificent and the setting is neat. The service was very pleasant and efficient. The dishes were good with very good product quality. A few small missteps like no caviar (commercial product) and generally speaking we were hoping for a taste experience that stood out a little more from the rest for the prices asked.

I had a wonderful experience at the Maréa restaurant. Every dish was an absolute delight, but I have to say that the crudo was one of the best I have ever tasted in my life. The one pound lobster, shelled to perfection and served with a perfectly balanced lemon ginger butter, was simply divine. Even the orzo was a treat—I wouldn’t say no to the recipe, hehe! A big thank you to the entire team for impeccable service, attentive and knowledgeable about their dishes. An unforgettable evening that deserves all the praise!

A superb welcome, excellent cuisine that we enjoyed in a pleasant and very friendly place. Lots of attention (bowl of water for our 2 small dogs), explanations on the foodstuffs that make up the exceptionally fresh dishes. A meal that leaves you wanting to return.

Nice restaurant in a beautiful location, with very friendly staff. The food is refined, beautifully prepared and of good quality. The location by the sea is beautiful and the staff is very friendly and helpful. Be careful not to confuse this restaurant with Marra in Cannes.

We had a nice time Well received, very good service with very pleasant staff and excellent cuisine without forgetting the setting and the sea view Well done !!!!

The warm ambiance starts from the very beginning all the way to finish when you satisfied say good night. Food was excellent, all stuff extremely friendly and pleasant and the view from our table was amazing (it looked like Madera's hills, stunning. Thank you for everything 😘

Very good, we had a bouillabaisse, not disappointed with our choice. Apart from the rather "high" prices, we had a good evening.

Very nice stage; succulent fish, beautiful setting and diligent service. I highly recommend
