BEST MEAL EVER! The most hospitable chef and staff for two ignorant Americans!

Le Figuier de Saint-Esprit · Antibes – Chez Christian Morisset Le Figuier de Saint-Esprit in Antibes is the perfect choice for a romantic and memorable occasion. The restaurant is beautifully located near the sea, offering a stunning view that stretches from the Bay of Nice to the Cap d’Antibes. It is one of those rare places where the setting alone creates a sense of quiet wonder. Inside, the impression continues. From the outside you would never guess how much character this place holds. The restaurant is divided into two distinct spaces: an elegant interior with carefully selected details such as artistic chandeliers and tasteful paintings, and the true heart of the house – the inner courtyard. This courtyard is exceptional. Surrounded by old stone walls, guests sit beneath a magnificent, centuries-old fig tree that gives the restaurant its name. Protected by a glass roof, it feels like a natural sculpture and creates an atmosphere that is both intimate and unique. The tables are beautifully set, with thoughtfully chosen porcelain and many artisanal pieces that reflect the personality of the house. There is a clear attention to detail in every element. Service was warm, professional and highly knowledgeable. For our special occasion, we chose the Menu Saint Valentin, a seven-course menu composed with refinement and a great sense of balance. The Michelin star is more than deserved. The perfectly cooked lobster with chard, bisque and verbena foam fully revealed the level of mastery in the kitchen. Equally outstanding was the veal sweetbread with truffle, one of the best preparations we have ever enjoyed. This evening was a celebration of flavor, craftsmanship and genuine hospitality. A sincere thank-you to Chef Christian Morisset and his dedicated team for an unforgettable experience.

Fantastic restaurant! Thank you to the chef for the wonderful meal; everything was delicious, a true gourmet experience. The servers were also excellent.

The cuisine was very elaborate and very generous. The service was excellent. Set menu including water, wine, and coffee for 18 euros.

An exceptional restaurant, the likes of which are becoming increasingly rare. Regardless of the dish, each element is perfectly executed, the service is impeccable, and the atmosphere is very relaxing. I highly recommend it! 👌🏻

Everything was extraordinary: service, food, and atmosphere. I hope to return in the future.

I wandered in by accident just looking for lunch. No reservation and by myself. They seated me right before closing. Service was excellent. They were very gracious to me as I looked like an underdressed tourist. Food was also excellent. But highly recommend, especially for a special occasion.
