27/12/2024: An old-fashioned brewery. Very good dishes. Simple and effective Super professional servers and good advice A bistro with its regulars as we like them. Small downside for the unseasoned salad. But honestly very nice.

06/12/2024: Very well eaten, good and plentiful at a more than reasonable price!

04/09/2024: The mussels were not tasty; I should have chosen a different dish. But the place is not bad.

04/09/2024: Amazing food and sweet service. Highly recommend this place for a nice dinner and drinks. This restaurant is a bit calmer and away from the hustle and bustle. The opposite of tourist trap restaurant streets. Everything we ordered was delicious. From the drinks to the appetizers to the food. We had mojitos which had the perfect amount of alcohol to sweetness. For appetizers we took the burrata and the hummus. I am Armenian and eat hummus on the regular and this has got to be one of the best hummus I ever tried. So creamy and yummy. The burrata was a melt in your mouth perfect consistency. For mains we had the chicken and the prime beef. Both the fries and mashed potatoes sides were great as well. Great portions and flavor. If the food wasn’t good enough, the crème brûlée had to be the star of the show. The creamiest smoothest crème with a thin layer of hardened sugar. It was just perfect ! We also took our baby with us to eat here and they were very accommodating. They had a good highchair and all of the staff were entertaining our little one.

08/07/2025: One word: outstanding. From the very beginning, everything was seamless — starting with the ease of the reservation system. The restaurant is located in a charming seaside town, and it beautifully embraces its historical roots. Being right by the water adds a magical touch, but the interior is just as captivating. The atmosphere inside is warm and full of character. The vintage photographs hanging on the walls are simply beautiful — and after reading about the restaurant’s history in the menu, seeing those photos brings the whole story to life. It’s like stepping into a living memory, where past and present come together in the most elegant way. The menu is thoughtful and well-curated, and you can tell great care goes into how each dish is prepared and cooked. The flavors were absolutely on point — every bite was memorable. The service was equally impressive: attentive, friendly, and professional from start to finish. I’ve been thinking hard, but I genuinely can’t find a single flaw. It was simply perfect in every way.

06/07/2025: My family was so excited to eat at La Mere Germaine based on reviews and word-of-mouth in various Facebook groups. Unfortunately, our experience was not good. While we did like the location by the sea in Villefranche, the food and the service were severely lacking. The waiter completely forgot to bring my husband’s drink; we never received it. One of my children ordered a burger from the kids’ menu, and we requested the meat to be cooked “à point” for medium (medium rare would also have been ok), and the burger was cooked beyond well done and was awful. The first appetizer arrived, and then my daughter’s meal arrived. She was the only one with food, and we waited quite a while for the second appetizer. By the time our main courses arrived, my daughter was done with her dinner. The timing was so poor. The ceviche appetizer was ok, but the lobster ravioli appetizer was a (bad) joke for the quantity and price. Not to mention that the ravioli itself didn’t taste very good. The main courses were disappointing as well. We’re foodies and have dined at excellent restaurants throughout Paris and the French Riviera. We didn’t have one bad meal—until we dined at this restaurant. Nice and Villefranche have so many restaurants that are better, and some are also less expensive. I happily pay a lot for good food and service, and I received neither. I surmise that La Mere Germaine is surviving based on its history and reputation, but the actual experience is a let down for sure. I would recommend going elsewhere.

24/09/2024: Restaurant avec tous les plats maison... Très bonne qualité et vraiment fameux ! Personnel très pro et sympathique. Pour moi la meilleure adresse de Beaulieu pour aller manger. Avons été bluffé par la cuisine excellente pour des prix raisonnables. Allez y ,vous ne serez pas déçu !

21/09/2024: Très bonne adresse ! Personnel très agréable et professionnel. Cadre agréable. Service rapide ! Plats excellents belle présentation !

11/12/2024: I stopped in midweek at 1030am for brunch and the place was empty but open. I was seated in the best table in the window with two leather club chairs. The decorations in this restaurant are charming and welcoming. The server was equally so. I opted for the greedy with omlette and hot chocolate. I heard the server slicing the bread after she put my order in. As she served the bread, she explained about the bread and jam varieties. I normally don't eat much bread or jam, but since they were there I tried them all. Then I was trying them on different breads and it was magical. White bread with raspberry jam was my favorite followed closely by the thick dark slice with the spiced apple. Yum. None if them were too sweet and all were packed with fresh fruit. Really great offerings! The omlete was simple hot and fresh, adorned with blanched veggies and fresh herbs. It was accompanied by a dressed rocket salad and small fruit cocktail. Everything was delicious and I especially enjoyed the interplay of sweet jam/bread combinations against the savory and perfectly seasoned omlette. And one cannot forget the generous serving of perfectly made hot chocolate. It was divine! This restaurant is well served by an obviously well conditioned team that works together well. Since I was alone in the restaurant, I could hear the conversation among them and it fills the space with a hood energy. I whole heartedly recommend this delightful restaurant if you enjoy bread and jam! My interest is also piqued for their lunch options. Bon appetit!

02/12/2024: Had an amazing gluten free breakfast. Big portion, an lots of lovely homemade jams. Could easily overeat on those

12/12/2024: A restaurant with affordable prices and high quality meat and dishes. The products are fresh and seasonal, which is reflected in each plate! Special mention for the warm welcome and attentive service. You immediately feel at ease there! An experience that I recommend without hesitation. 2 minutes from the Croisette and rue d'Antibes!

11/12/2024: Lovely little spot to get coffee. Perfect spot to sit outside especially in autumn/spring weather. Their croque madame is okay, I've had better, but their is fine. Fries are good. Asked for ice coffee and they're willing to make it but it taste very watery, my fault, just get hot coffee here. But the service is great. And the quiet location is a plus too.

12/06/2025: A place worth the detour. Single menu with one or two starters. Always fresh products and succulent, inventive Mediterranean dishes. Attentive and very welcoming staff.

26/05/2025: Just like home Thanks everyone Max

11/08/2024: This is a really authentic french family owned place and would recommend as a tourist looking for the real deal. The menu changes a lot based on what they have. Service was excellent and so was the food. One of our favourite places on the trip so far!

08/08/2024: Great little restaurant, the welcome is very warm, you feel good there! The sangria and homemade lemonade were very cold and the dishes tasty! I highly recommend :)

23/09/2024: The nicest place with delicious pancakes in the finest old town. Both the pancake with comte cheese, ham and egg and the pancake with goat's cheese are highly recommended, and the children loved the banana split pancake. There was so much ice cream that there was also a taste test for the adults😋 Large free parking lot nearby. Booked a table via email and they responded very quickly.

15/09/2024: Delicious. Fresh products. Efficient service.

23/09/2024: A very good time spent at the Boudoir... During a weekend in Nice we were seduced by the menu which offered a variation of truffle dishes from starter to dessert. I particularly appreciated the little attention for my husband (birthday) and the humorous consideration by our waitress of a very small remark that we had made to her during our exchanges between each course. The only downside would be that when you occupy the back table you can hear (a little too much) the exchanges and teasing between members of the staff....

20/09/2024: So to make it very, very short, the young apprentice chef alone in the kitchen delighted us from start to finish. The head waitress alone in the room also ensured from start to finish. The meal was offered to us by our children and well we will come back with friends.

02/01/2025: We had a magical time. The setting is magnificent, the cuisine excellent and the service TOP Nothing to say from a quality/price point of view I highly recommend...

11/11/2024: Beautiful table around seafood, excellent langoustine bisque, well-cooked scallops and very good sea bream from the Bay of Cannes, generous in sauce. Service nothing to say, well done!

17/12/2024: It was really perfect. All the staff take care of themselves. The delicious meal... No fault noted! (Besides, thank you for closing the toilet door every time because people don't often think about it haha) I had the rock fish soup and Turbot risotto (champagne lemon butter sauce I think) with vegetables ❤️ I can't wait to come back

11/12/2024: This is not the first time that I have been to this restaurant and the observation is always the same: top staff, we were extremely well received, with a smile and a sense of helpfulness. Excellent meal from start to finish! I don't see how we could have done better because everything was perfect!

27/09/2024: This is an absolute must eat door diner restaurant. Don’t be afraid… get the fish for two. It’s the best item on the menu and even non-fish lovers will appreciate and enjoy its deliciousness. I want to go back to Nice just for this fish.

25/09/2024: We were traveling with friends from California. I took them to my favorite restaurant in Nice. JOSE and his wonderful wife make everyone feel as if there are the most important client. My friends agreed, this was the BEST meal they had in France. Bravo L'equipe! Merci milles fois.

15/06/2025: very clean kitchen, very nice setting

15/06/2025: Great little restaurant in the heart of old Auribeau, with a very pretty view, friendly and efficient service and good little cuisine at reasonable prices.

17/01/2025: If you see this review, don't ruin your evening, look for another restaurant. This place is clearly overrated. The prices are above average, the food is worse than average, the service is long and the waiter clearly forgot about us, although there were 10 of us at the table. We had a situation that greatly spoiled the impression of the restaurant. We came to celebrate the holiday with a big campaign. when our evening came to desserts, the waiter said that we could not order the tart that was on the display, since it was already reserved by other guests. We ordered a lot of dishes and the waiter did not warn us that desserts in their establishment must be booked in advance!

27/12/2024: We came today 12/27/24 with another couple of foreign friends to discover real French cuisine, we were not disappointed!! Exceptional service and welcome! In a magnificent setting! I recommend.
