L'oursin sur Antibes

25/07/2026: Unfortunately this meal was a bit of a mess. As one of the reviews below also pointed out. The service was very poor, particularly so for a Michelin starred restaurant. We decided to go for the three course tasting menu and we wanted a bottle of wine to go with it. We were told the sommelier would come over. No one came for a while, so we asked a waiter. The bottle he chose was over budget and different to what was described. He just picked the first bottle he saw on the page and provided an unrelated description. We also had numerous occasions where waiters lent over us to serve other tables, including once where my wife's hair was pulled by accident. Food Starter was shrimp with infused olive oil, the dish was nice, but the shrimp and tomato part of the dish were basically two different dishes that didn't really match up. Main was the catch of the day with pea coulis, the fish was excellently cooked, the highlight of the meal. The rest of the dish was a little bland, it lacked texture and flavour variation. Dessert was the chocolate symphonie, unfortunately the dish was one note and bland. Overall the food was disappointing and not the level we would have expected for a high class restaurant. Lastly the price, this meal was expensive, and given the poor service and average food, it was poor value for money. Ultimately, the meal was a bit of a disappointment, food was ok, but not great, cost was very high and the service was poor.
