12/04/2026: The waiter was extremely unpleasant and didn't know the basics of politeness.

03/04/2026: The atmosphere is nice, you can eat on the terrace with a view. The staff is friendly enough. The food leaves much to be desired... the quiche was burnt, and the lasagna tasted like a frozen one.

31/03/2026: ​I booked a table online for Monday and got a confirmation, only to be called 2 hours before being told it’s "not possible" to honor it. We decided to give them another chance and booked for Tuesday. ​Despite having a second email confirmation, when we arrived, they refused to seat us because the restaurant was full. Their excuse? "The online reservation system doesn't work." ​This is a complete lack of respect for customers' time. Don't bother booking online here—a confirmation means nothing to them. This rating reflects their poor management and service, as we never even got to taste the food.

24/03/2026: I've booked L'Ovale reservations three times now and we went last night (March 23) for a special birthday dinner and they were locked up at 7:30pm. I called and whomever answered the phone just said the "site" was closed without further explanation. The previous time, I at least received an email cancellation, and when I called, they said the chef had hurt his back. I'm never going back! Such a frustrating and embarrassing situation with a group of friends for this to happen.

27/05/2026: I enjoyed it here, I don’t understand all the negative reviews. Yes it’s expensive, but Nice is an expensive city, and this is in nice area of an expensive city, hence it won’t be cheap. If you are looking for a budget meal, just don’t visit here. For my family, both the food and service were good, happy to recommend and come back.

26/05/2026: Very disappointing!! The restaurant seems to be living off its reputation. From appetizer to dessert, not a single dish impressed us; it lacked flavor, the presentation was uninspired, and the quality fell far short of expectations. An experience we will not be repeating.

24/04/2026: Very unpleasant welcome, I do not recommend it.

08/03/2026: Place of violets, delicious as ice cream or candied fruit in a glass of champagne😋.

18/05/2026: This establishment is sadly not what it used to be...frankly...the menu is uninteresting. Dishes average €25, a bottle of wine €50...without service or any attempt at presentation! At those prices, go eat at a beach restaurant...low quality for the price...it's like a canteen! The new wooden facade is really not up to par!

18/05/2026: We're really a long way from the two palm trees... still not listed as "Café Musain"... they've taken away all the charm of this restaurant... before, there was a banquette, small armchairs, a banquette with cushions... now it's sterile and atmosphereless... tables and chairs... no atmosphere at all... yet it's on the most "chic" street in Nice, Avenue Victor Hugo... a limited and uninteresting menu... #coquillet au jambon!! daily specials #club sandwich 18 euros... #bakery!!!...linguini with tuna and lemon "no way"... fisherman's stew and fish soup... keep walking... bland... tasteless... water mixed with fish pulp for 30 euros... we're supposed to be in the Mediterranean!!! Mille-feuille straight from the bakery... placed on the plate... #chantilly #decoration... at least. Frog leg!! Bland! #France... For Corsicans who own several establishments...!! It's 2026, and without even the slightest expectation... truly disappointed... staff not very attentive... paper napkins thinner than at McDonald's... what can I say... it's a profession. Not just another investment... As a regular, I'm really disappointed... #constructivecriticism!!! Thanks to Kevin for the cocktails... you're raising the low end of this fledgling establishment! Victor Hugo!!! Holiday Inn does better!!! Disappointed... awaiting a response... #constructivecriticism...2026...!!!

25/03/2026: Good place to have a drink, eat something and there is good internet wireless inside . Thank you !

30/10/2025: Stopped in while waiting for bus to Eze - was the closest cafe to Vauban Station. Kind lady served us 2 cappuccino. Didn't eat, but menu looked good 😋.

13/05/2026: Always a very warm welcome, attentive staff. Excellent bread, quick and efficient service! Well done!

19/04/2026: We are always well received and everything is good and fresh, we go there almost every Sunday to buy cakes and good bread.

25/02/2026: The food is very good, but the service is lacking. The saleswomen I encountered were very unpleasant, so I decided to leave and will now go to a different bakery.

25/02/2026: I would like to thank the baker, Élodie, for her warm welcome and professionalism. She served me very well and took the time to help me with kindness. It's lovely to be advised with a smile and attentiveness. I will gladly return.

16/05/2026: This is really a response to the owner who seems to lack basic understanding of ingredients. If a customer tells you they want their salad without balsamic vinegar (because its sugar content is high) - your answer should not be that it has no sugar. While we asked for the salad to simply be without it, it came with it. Here is the sugar content of balsamic vinegar for your edification: Traditional Balsamic Vinegar (DOP): Authentic, artisanal vinegar aged for 12 to 25 years in wooden barrels. It relies solely on concentrated, naturally caramelized grape must. Because it is highly concentrated, it can be slightly sweeter, containing up to 20% to 30% sugar (5 to 6 grams of sugar per tablespoon). Lastly, listen to your customers. A man in the table next to us told you three times that he does not drink alcohol. You kept pushing it. Have you considered he may be allergic? Am recovering alcoholic? Or just not in the mood? For a city like Cannes that hosts many international customers - it would be great to a menu in English. Your chef is great. You lack basic customer service.

15/05/2026: We booked a table for four at 10:00 PM. Once we arrived, the owner told us we could only sit outside and not inside, even though it was very cold because the inside service was closed. Outside, there were the usual menus with the specials of the day, written on the walls, but they told us we couldn't order them; they were just "for show." The menu had few items available. I asked if there was a meat tartare, and she replied, "Go to the beach and eat that." Tartare isn't a restaurant dish for us. I ordered a chicken Caesar salad (which arrived with fried chicken on top, a detail that wasn't listed on the menu, and Caesar chicken is usually grilled). We also ordered a fillet that arrived overcooked, very tough, and dry. A duck was inedible. A salad that was described on the menu as having warm cheese arrived completely different from the description. We then asked the waitress to remake my Caesar salad and the fillet, and she started insulting us, saying we should go to school to learn to read, that we should still pay for the dishes we ordered, and she continued to insult us. At that point, we said we'd pay and leave, and the chef came out with a threatening look and started yelling at us to leave, swearing at us. NOT RECOMMENDED, IN FACT, STAY AWAY FROM THIS BAND OF MADMEN

07/04/2026: Lunch: selected wine not available. There were four of us, and we ordered mussels marinière. They were tasteless and rather dry; probably because they didn't use white wine during cooking. I strongly advise against this dish. We reported this directly to the waiter, and we weren't the only ones; a couple right behind us also mentioned it. This dish should be removed from the menu if you don't know how to make even a basic mussel marinière. I'm perplexed by the rest of the menu.

30/03/2026: The service was excellent! Thank you to Quentin for his kindness.

26/05/2026: Delicious café and friendly service; I was able to charge my power bank.

09/04/2026: Passing through Turini, we made a quick stop at the Hôtel Restaurant des 3 Vallées for a drink and to enjoy the rally museum. The drink quickly turned into a meal, as the staff were so friendly and welcoming. A truly wonderful time in this legendary place. Thank you to them!

07/05/2026: We were disappointed throughout the entire meal. Four items on the menu were missing and had been replaced with others, and the ribeye steak was replaced with a sirloin steak for the same price. It's shameful. The meats weren't grilled over a wood fire as indicated on the menu, but pan-fried. My lamb was cold, rubbery, tasteless, and stale. My husband ordered a duck breast, which was definitely a fillet, not a whole duck breast. The dauphinoise potatoes were dark gray and cold. And to top it all off, the owner was talking loudly on a video call with his contact while smoking in the dining room. No romance possible. Avoid this place; they have absolutely no respect for their customers.

03/05/2026: Very disappointing. The welcome was friendly but minimal, just like the menu. The food was very average for the prices. I do not recommend it.

07/06/2026: Horrible. One of the worst restaurants I've ever eaten at. I was on a package tour with lunch and dinner included. The first day they made a mistake and served us the second day's menu for dinner. The result: we had salad for both lunch and dinner. The menu for one day was "calamari delights with salad," which turned out to be four (yes, four per person) reheated frozen calamari rings from a bag, and the salad was just a few arugula leaves. The main course was sea bream with sauce. All I saw was the sauce on top of a tiny fillet of sea bream. And for dessert, chocolate cake, which turned out to be a 3mm thick slice. Some people complained and asked for fruit, and they brought peeled and sliced ​​pears... rotten!!! Which, of course, were sent back. We had four dinners and two lunches booked. I only went to the first two dinners and the first lunch. The rest of the time we preferred to find other restaurants, including McDonald's, since we're not picky about what we eat. I don't know the agreed-upon price of the set menu, but the cost per person for what we were served didn't even reach €5. If only it had been well presented or cooked properly... but it wasn't even that. Very poor food quality.

02/06/2026: The restaurant calls a product "pizza" when it's not. Credit, however, goes to the restaurant owner, who kindly removed the price of the mussels from the bill, which were unfortunately smelly and inedible. A sore point about the fries: despite being fried twice, they weren't good at all.
