Lou Pignatoun sur Grasse

19/09/2026: A small café-restaurant opposite the Fragonard Museum, theoretically open from 9 am to 6 pm, with a charming little shaded terrace. We arrived at 1 pm. The welcome was rather cold, and the menu was on a chalkboard. The metal chairs on the terrace were uncomfortable. There were many well-prepared salads, but a poor selection of main courses. I ended up ordering a meager croque monsieur with salad (they don't serve fries here), which took an hour to arrive! I should mention that I asked for it without pesto sauce (I'm intolerant to garlic), while my friend received his quickly with pesto. The cook supposedly had a problem. I saw him come rushing down the outside steps from the first floor, clearly unhappy. The dish was finally served with apologies from the waitress. The croque monsieur was cold and hard, made from toasted supermarket white bread with a slice of ham and cheese! The toilets are accessible via an outside staircase on the first floor. Completely unsuitable for the elderly and people with reduced mobility. However, the pink sorbet was very good. They refused to serve customers at 2 PM! Very noisy because it's right next to the road. Well, a rare bad experience in this beautiful, yet very touristy, city.
