23/10/2026: An exceptionally human encounter with the owners, Jean-Pierre and his partner Martine, and a divine menu. I read the book "Transplanted," and I think there will be a sequel... An extension!

09/05/2026: A getaway with my husband, planned two months in advance: car, accommodation, meals, and activities between rain showers and the tides. Overall, the stay was decent, with a few positive points, notably good food at the restaurant and a nice wine list. However, several things significantly marred our experience. During two meals we had there—one costing over €50 and the other €40—we were served the exact same vegetable side dishes. We were also treated to a charcuterie platter that looked like it came straight from a supermarket and a soup so salty it seemed like the salt shaker had been spilled in it. As for the wine service, it's a shame the waiters weren't attentive: neither of them thought to refill our glasses before we finished our main course. The staff, for their part, seemed to vary depending on their mood. One waitress appeared to be able to control her emotions, while another was particularly abrupt. If I had been alone, I probably would have left. The overall impression is of an overwhelmed, inattentive staff who operate on autopilot, without any real attention to the guests. This is regrettable, as their technical skills do not compensate for their lack of interpersonal skills. As for the hotel itself, the prices are high for a service that does not meet the advertised expectations. Throughout my stay, a persistent smell of urine filled the room. The toilet bowl was clearly not cleaned properly, which reinforced this impression of unsanitary conditions. The sheets were only changed once in five days. The decorative fabric cushions on the bed mainly convey a lack of hygiene; it would be better to leave them out altogether. As for the pillows, they were soft and yellowed and definitely needed replacing. A little baking soda and vinegar would do wonders… I will not return to this establishment and I will not recommend it. We also spoke with several local residents, who have noticed a decline in quality over time. Unfortunately, only tourists passing through seem to be able to fall for it anymore. In 2026, it would also be time to seriously consider accessibility and compliance with the 2005 law concerning public places. Since the CEO is presented as the owner of numerous businesses in the port, it would be wise to invest more in staff training, as well as in hygiene and accessibility improvements.

16/09/2026: Excellent service, generous portions, and a lovely, comfortable banquette. It's perfect.

15/09/2026: Excellent welcome and quality cuisine; the daily special was excellent that day – sliced ​​beef. I'll definitely be back!

06/09/2026: A very bad experience. I had already dined at this restaurant and had very fond memories of it: good food, a beautiful setting, and a pleasant atmosphere. It was precisely for this reason that I chose it to celebrate my birthday with my family and friends. I had booked online for 14 people, the maximum capacity offered. Since an additional guest was able to join us, I called the day before. After checking with the manager, I was told we could come as a group of 15. The next day, we received an email confirming the reservation for 14 people. An employee tried to contact us around 5 p.m. We called back about an hour before our reservation to confirm our attendance and remind them that we had agreed to the possibility of a 15th person. The manager on duty that evening had clearly not received the information. Instead of simply acknowledging a communication breakdown within her team, she addressed me in a curt and condescending tone, as if I were trying to impose a request that had already been approved by her own manager. She criticized us for not answering her call, even though the reservation had been confirmed by email that morning and we were actually calling back. After needlessly straining the situation, she finally offered the only reasonable solution: to come and organize ourselves there if there were indeed 15 of us. This is what should have been said from the start. In the end, there were 14 of us. Most of my guests were present and seated on time, with two people having been delayed by traffic. No sooner had the guests been seated than a waiter announced, "Orders will be ready in 15 minutes." It wasn't a welcome, but an order. The tone immediately created a chill and made it clear that our group was being treated more like a chore than a table of customers. And if they were going to speak to us like that, they should at least have respected the promised timeframe: our orders weren't taken 15 minutes later. When the two latecomers finally arrived, our dishes were just starting to be served. No one asked for their orders to be prioritized. We simply asked the waiter if he could take them when he was available. His response: "I have other things to do." I have rarely heard such contempt expressed so openly in a restaurant. I was especially ashamed in front of my guests: I had invited them to an establishment that I had personally chosen and recommended, only to see them treated as if they were bothering the staff. One of my guests had to get up and remind the waiter herself of the basic rules of respect for other customers. He eventually apologized, but that didn't erase the remark he made in front of the entire table. Unfortunately, the food didn't redeem the experience. On my previous visit, I had thoroughly enjoyed the thiéb and its rich flavors. This time, the chicken in my mafé was very dry, as were the kebabs I tried. The plantains were so overripe they had an unpleasantly mushy texture. Only the fish, pastels, and cod fritters were truly enjoyable. The problem, therefore, isn't a minor delay or an isolated blunder, but rather a cumulative effect: disorganization, an internal communication error blamed on the customer, a frosty reception, and a waiter's disdain. A restaurant's reputation doesn't excuse it from disregarding basic rules of professionalism and respect. We came to celebrate a birthday and spend our money, not to be the punching bag for staff irritated by the presence of their own customers. In its current state, I will not be returning to Waly-Fay. I would not recommend this establishment for a birthday or group booking: no one should have to pay to be treated as if they were a nuisance. (An experience clearly shared in other reviews)

28/08/2026: Really great food, super flagrant and full of soul. Had the best server his name was John/Jean such attentive and warm service. Cant wait to come back when I’m next in Paris. ❤️

30/10/2026: The service was a bit disorganized, but the place was magical.

28/10/2026: A very beautiful establishment. The staff are very pleasant and professional. The food is excellent and the team is fantastic. We will gladly return.

24/06/2026: One of the few remaining oriental pastry shops in Nice. The pastries there are truly excellent, whether it's the baklava, the makrouds, or the gazelle horns. The mint tea is also very good; it's definitely the place to go for oriental pastries.

14/06/2026: Wonderful café where the products are delicious and the welcome is very warm!!! 🇹🇳🌞

13/10/2026: A stylish Parisian escape in shades of red ❤️ Stopped by Le Bar Long at Raffles Paris for a quick bite and a couple of cocktails, and it was a very enjoyable experience. The food was excellent. I had the salade de chèvre chaud and the tuna tataki, both very well executed and perfect for a light snack. Naturally, no visit to a good bar would be complete without a Negroni! I tried both the classic Negroni and a Mezcal Negroni… a lovely way to enjoy the cocktail in two different interpretations. The ambiance is fabulous, with the signature red tones creating a distinctive, stylish atmosphere. I absolutely love the vibe here. But what really stood out was the kindness of the staff. The team was genuinely welcoming, adding a lovely touch to the overall experience. One small downside: as a guest not staying at the hotel, I was seated somewhat in a corner. That said, I understand that the best tables are naturally prioritised for in-house guests. Overall, a wonderful spot for a light bite and expertly crafted cocktails in a spectacular setting. The warm hospitality makes all the difference, and I’d happily return for another Negroni or two!

11/10/2026: **Reception: Cold **Payment time: I felt like I was bothering them (I got up to pay at the kiosk; a reminder!! I am a disabled person...) ***Pleasant moment: Taking the order: the waiter was very friendly. Thank you to him and the food.

30/11/2025: A truly special moment at this restaurant, from the delicious food to the warm welcome and beautiful decor... We will gladly return! Thank you for a wonderful evening!

25/11/2025: Hello, upon arrival, the waiter seated us and then left us for over 15 minutes. He returned and said, "Ah, you haven't looked at the menu yet" (which was hidden in a book). Should he have told us?! We asked him a few questions about the very limited menu: four starters, one of which was missing, one main course from the daily special, and two à la carte options. The waiter responded in a very rude tone, seemingly annoyed at having to explain the concept. He brought us a flat, acidic white wine, which he half-spilled on the table, maintaining his haughty and inappropriate attitude. We asked for a replacement glass. Fortunately, the food was good, if not exceptional (the terrine and pork tenderloin were unremarkable, the rich jus a bit too spicy, even though I usually love it), but the cooking was precise, the flavor combinations interesting, and the dessert excellent. But honestly, the service was appalling, unprofessional, and disrespectful. If it hadn't been a Monday, I would have left immediately! Even when it came to paying the bill, my partner, being Italian, could have spent over €50 directly without going into the card reader. The waiter, in a sneering tone, said, "Well, yes, you have to insert it." It's an old-fashioned model... I think if I were a man with a temper, I would have punched him in the face... Shameful... First and last time!

02/11/2026: Excellent! Perfect atmosphere for a glass of wine and a nice dinner for two. Good service and tasty food. The onion soup was great.

22/10/2026: This place is crawling with mice. All over the place. Tons of them running left and right across the floor. The waiter made a joke about it when someone pointed them out and did nothing.

04/10/2026: Excellent meal with a very friendly welcome

13/09/2026: Very friendly team with a great selection of products!

09/06/2026: Nice hotel, good staff, a somewhat older hotel which is noticeable in the rooms. We were here with our motorcycles.

09/06/2026: My second time traveling by motorcycle, and I stayed overnight there. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
