Taverne St Veran sur Vence

27/05/2026: We ate at the Auberge des Seigneurs et du Lion d’Or, at the entrance to old Vence, right next to the Place du Frêne. Upon arrival, the immense fireplace immediately catches the eye: meats roast over a wood fire right in front of the guests, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The dining room retains the charm of an old inn, with its exposed stone walls, large fireplace, and a few historical details such as a portrait of Marc Chagall hanging on the wall. The menu offers several house specialties, but spit-roasted meat is clearly the highlight. We chose the veal entrecôte with seasonal accompaniments: tender meat, perfectly cooked, and with a true smoky flavor. The portions are generous and the presentation is elegant. The welcome is friendly and the service professional. An excellent place to enjoy wood-fired meat in an atmosphere very different from the more traditional restaurants in the historic center of Vence.
