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.

25/02/2026: We're here right now. Every time we come to Valberg, it's our little hot dog, beer, and fries break... Great atmosphere, music, the owner is fantastic... The service is great, and the food is delicious! (For those with daughters who eat hot dogs with nothing in them 😂)

24/02/2026: The place to be in Valberg! Ultra-fast service, with a smile, right at your table. Unbeatable value for money, free sunshine, and incredible Reblochon crêpes. Go quickly, the snow is melting...

01/02/2026: A delightful restaurant discovered by chance during a stroll through the Sunday flea market in Valbonne. First of all, the warm welcome, the service, the smiles, and the friendliness make you feel instantly at ease. Then, the food is delicious; the homemade dishes are carefully prepared and flavorful. It's a shame the restaurant is a bit small, but the service is efficient, so it's not a big deal. We'll definitely try the shaded terrace in the summer 😉 A huge thank you to our lovely waitress who deserves a 10/10 all on her own 😇 And we hope to see you again very soon.

04/01/2026: Excellent food with a wide variety of dishes, and the service was equally good. We ordered, and the food arrived very quickly, much to our surprise. The atmosphere is friendly, with servers who are there to help.
