La Mandragore sur Menton

Good, simple and efficient service, I recommend it.

Delightful in the culinary arts. Very satisfied, perfect welcome.

We reserved a table for four last year on New Year’s Eve and then again at Christmas. The food was very good and much less touristy than the neighboring restaurants. The wine was excellent, as were the escargots and the delicious salad. I highly recommend the Menu du Jour! Our dog was immediately given a bowl of water without us having to ask, which I found very thoughtful and sympathetic. I really like the natural atmosphere of this restaurant…it always felt very authentic. We‘ll come back for sure! 😊 One thing I’ve noticed in Menton in general is that locals are automatically given a jug of water at the table… while tourists usually have to ask for it. I don’t think there should be a difference but this applies to many cafés and restaurants, not just this one.

Excellent restaurant, pleasant and friendly staff!

A very good lunch at La Mandragore. The main course was generous and delicious, as was the dessert. I recommend it!

I highly recommend this restaurant.

Ode to the Tenderness of La Mandragore's Chuck Steak Once upon a time, on the Place aux Herbes, there was a chuck steak so tender you'd think it had been raised under glass, lulled by Vivaldi sonatas, and massaged with organic olive oil every morning. As soon as it's placed on your tongue, it's not chewed—it surrenders. It melts like a secret kept too long, like a promise of a Sunday on a terrace, like a childhood memory in the arms of a grandmother who cooks with love and a hint of red wine. This chuck steak is tenderness incarnate. A tenderness that defies the laws of physics: it is at once solid and vaporous, fleshy and evanescent. You savor it, and suddenly, the world slows down. The waiters become poets, the tablemates philosophers, and even the pigeon on the railing seems to meditate on the meaning of life. At La Mandragore, it's not a dish—it's a revelation. The chuck steak is treated like an exiled king, returned to reign over our taste buds. And when it arrives, drenched in a jus reduced to the very essence of happiness, we understand that tenderness isn't a concept: it's an experience.

A beautiful little restaurant in the heart of Menton! The food was fresh, creative, and incredibly delicious. Super friendly service and a wonderful atmosphere on the Place aux Herbes – simply a place to feel at home. Highly recommended, we'll definitely be back!

Sheltered and quiet terrace. Menus with a wide variety of choices to satisfy everyone. The dishes are very good. Very friendly welcome and service. Reasonable prices.

Excellent! The place is very beautiful and pleasant, the food is very fresh and tasty, and the service is very friendly. The "Sr honore caramel beurre sale" dessert is delicious!
