La Grotte & L'Olivier sur Roquebrune-Cap-Martin

Wonderful atmosphere! The service was quite pleasant. To be honest, the baked potato side dish that came with my veal steak was excessively garlicky. The meat was delicious!

A memorable experience at this restaurant during our visit to the area! The service and food are excellent!! The service is very friendly, welcoming, and attentive to customers. The dishes have that little something extra that makes all the difference!! 🤩 I highly recommend it.

We had a wonderful evening at this restaurant – the atmosphere is very pleasant. It's located in a quiet square, next to an ancient olive tree and a viewing platform. The food was good, and the service was excellent. We had a table with a magnificent view, and we were lucky enough to watch the sunset.

I invited my nephew, his wife, and their two children, who had just moved to Roquebrune, along with a friend, to this restaurant that had been recommended to me the day before because of its location and family-friendly atmosphere. I booked the 7 pm table (apparently there are two seatings, 7 pm and 9 pm). Since I was on vacation, it was a lovely way to end this wonderful family time. We received a very warm welcome upon arrival, and as soon as we were seated, the children (3 and 5 and a half years old) were given coloring books. The waiter, originally from Calabria, was very professional and provided excellent service; thank you so much! 🙏🏽 The meal was delicious, whether we ordered from the menu or the daily specials. As we were finishing our main courses, we waited for our plates to be cleared and for the dessert menu to be offered. Everyone knows that during a lovely meal at a restaurant, you don't look at the time, and the service sets the pace for your time at the table. So we waited... When suddenly, someone came over and said, "Didn't we tell you that the first seating ends at 9 pm?" = popular translation: "You've eaten, it's time to leave." We looked at each other dubiously and watched this person clear our table with annoyance. We asked a waiter who this irritated and unprofessional person was. We were told it was the owner. Okay. The charming waiter from earlier came over, apologized, and offered us desserts. Seeing that we were no longer welcome, we only ordered desserts for the children. (Apparently, someone in the restaurant had forgotten to take a reservation) and guess who the owner took his anger out on? People who were visiting his restaurant for the first time! Bravo, sir, you're amazing! After the children's desserts, I went to pay for my family, and our friend went to pay individually. As we were leaving, we were said goodbye, and one of the waiters called us over in front of a section of the terrace occupied by other customers, asking if our friend's €37 bill had been paid. We confirmed that it had, surprised by this behavior, which made us look like, and I quote, "losers" in front of other customers. (Strange "losers," all things considered: two physiotherapists, a police officer, and a self-employed nurse. It seems to me that our professions allow us to maintain health and safety.) A little respect would have been appropriate, if only for the human beings that we are. Because, dear people, know that without small streams, some great rivers cannot exist. Surely, when navigating the rivers, one forgets about the streams. P.S.: This is a metaphor, just in case! It's a real shame to see this kind of behavior in such a good restaurant in 2026.

We had a lovely time in the square with the ancient olive tree in front of us. The service was perfect. The waiter was very helpful and patient (we were undecided for a while about whether to sit at a table or a barrel). We enjoyed the food. We found the way they celebrated birthdays amusing (music, waiters who gathered together, and a framed photo frame given to the guest of honor on that special day). We highly recommend this restaurant.

This place is fantastic in every way. The food is delicious, the staff are friendly and professional, and the atmosphere is wonderful. Whether I am stopping by for a drink or having dinner with friends, I always leave happy. Highly recommend!

An unusual location and an extraordinary view of the coast

A magnificent setting, excellent cuisine, and warm, welcoming service: we had a fantastic evening and will definitely be back.

Sophisticated Provençal cuisine, but not overdone, served with a smile in an unusual setting: in short, a very good time that I recommend!

Excellent discovery 🤩 This is clearly one of the best restaurants in the area!!! The setting is magnificent, we loved the view, and the welcome was warm. As for the food, we thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish! We especially loved the gnocchi with porcini mushrooms 😍, but the meat dishes were also incredible. The chocolate fondant… a real gem!!! A special mention to Chef Max, who delighted us, and to his entire team for the warm welcome and excellent service 🙏🏽 An address we'll treasure and recommend without hesitation 👌🏾✨😍
