La Mere Germaine
Villefranche-Sur-Mer
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.

la trinquette
Villefranche-Sur-Mer
30/12/2025: An excellent address in the heart of Villefranche-sur-Mer with a view of the port.
We attended a jazz evening with Dona Flor and had a wonderful time.
The food service is excellent, the service impeccable.
The welcome is very warm and friendly.
We will definitely be back.
I highly recommend this magnificent place 🌟
23/10/2025: Very nice, a good evening, good music, the dishes are simple but good, we will return

La Caravelle
Villefranche-Sur-Mer
15/12/2025: ❌❌I will never eat at this restaurant!
I have no idea about the quality of the food, but the waiters are aggressive (a small blonde woman and a dark-haired man in their forties).
My mother and I were verbally attacked by their friend, the owner of the restaurant “Le Serre,” and without even trying to understand the situation, they came and yelled at us to defend her, even though she was, of course, indefensible.
Therefore, it's best to avoid this establishment to punish their indefensible behavior towards customers.
12/10/2025: Great place and service 🧡 The food was also really delicious, however the profiterole was a bit dry so that takes the stars down. BUT we will come again and would definitely recommend the place.

L'Aparte
Villefranche-Sur-Mer
04/11/2025: If you're looking for lovingly prepared dishes made with top-quality ingredients, "La Casa dei Sapori" is the place for you! Superb cuisine and impeccable service await you. Kudos to the whole team!

La Chaumiere
Villefranche-Sur-Mer
18/01/2026: Everything is perfect at this restaurant: the welcome, the service, the appetizers, the meat, and the dessert—nothing to complain about. High-quality cuisine.
I highly recommend it.
Bonus: valet parking.
17/01/2026: Reputation and good food aren't everything… The quality of the meat, the restaurant's specialty, is undeniable, but the rest leaves much to be desired! The side dishes—grilled potatoes and green salad—were very basic and lacked any refinement. As for the service, the friendliness and welcome clearly need improvement, and don't expect a quick turnaround for a carafe of water or bread!
And to top it all off, the bill was quite hefty, without the complimentary digestif that could have left us with a more positive impression… In short, we'll wait a while before returning, or perhaps not…

La Baleine Joyeuse
Villefranche-Sur-Mer
22/11/2025: The service has completely changed, and the food quality has declined significantly for months now… what a shame…
10/11/2025: It's very, very, very bad.
The pissaladière was cold, the pastry was dry and tasteless, like it had been thawed from frozen, and the stuffed pastries were tasteless.
It doesn't smell homemade at all, it's disappointing.
Never again.
It's just a food truck.
And the prices are like a restaurant!

22/02/2026: Excellent restaurant.
Friendly and welcoming staff.
08/01/2026: This restaurant has a beautiful setting on the square with a sea view, the food is varied and of very high quality! For dessert, they have by far the best crepes in town. I highly recommend it.

Wine Pier
Villefranche-Sur-Mer
02/11/2025: This was the Welcome Hotel in Villefranche sur Mer... stopped in as the wine bar we wanted to go to was closed. This turned out great with nice views
19/10/2025: A place where it's good to take your time. For me, it's more in the morning after breakfast for the Welcome guests. As for the food, I can't answer because we can't call it a kitchen; it's not a restaurant. However, you can have a cheese or charcuterie board with your drink.

Le Serre
Villefranche-Sur-Mer
11/10/2025: Always very good. I recommend it.
22/08/2025: We had a wonderful welcome at Le Serre, which we discovered last night. The staff and the atmosphere are so friendly!
We enjoyed a delicious tomato and mozzarella toast salad, followed by a perfectly seasoned and beautifully presented salmon tartare. To round off this delicious meal, we had an exquisite peach pavlova. What a treat! Bravo to the chef! And thank you to the entire team for their warm and friendly welcome. We will definitely return to Le Serre during our next stay in Villefranche!

Cafe De la paix
Villefranche-Sur-Mer
21/01/2026: Very good.
Nice little terrace, quite quiet.
Good atmosphere.
12/11/2025: The only café in France where you get a torrent of insults from the waitress. This woman's nervousness, spitefulness, vulgarity, and rudeness are astounding. As a resident of Villefranche, I like to stop by from time to time for a drink, alone or with friends. I don't go there very often, so they don't know me. Until now, I had always been well received, by a young man, a middle-aged gentleman, or a lady with short blond hair. But this morning, I encountered an aggressive harpy who unleashed all her venom and a string of obscenities on me. I am a lady of a certain age, who came to relax and support the local businesses. I was so shocked that I won't be going back anytime soon! A disgrace to this village!
The following text is the comment left on the town hall website.
Beautiful location, very pleasant welcome. However, I feel compelled to share on the town hall website a terrible experience I had this morning at the Café de la Paix. Given that this establishment is located within the town limits, I feel it's important to bring it to the attention of the Mayor. Having lived in Villefranche for a year, I occasionally, though admittedly quite rarely, stop by the Café de la Paix for a drink while playing the lottery. Always warmly welcomed until now by the young man, the older gentleman, or the short-haired blonde woman, I never imagined that one day I would be greeted so aggressively and subjected to a barrage of insults and obscenities! I ordered an aperitif and asked if it would be possible to have some side dishes, which I was willing to pay for. The violent response from this hysterical woman shocked me so much that I asked for a refund because I no longer wished to remain in the establishment. She replied, and I quote, "Sit on your ass." I'd never experienced anything like it in my entire life. A real slob, and incredibly rude. I'm over sixty, I'm a mother and grandmother, and in my world, we show politeness, good manners, good upbringing, courtesy, and elegant speech. I think it's best not to drink when you work in a café! In any case, this person is completely out of place.

La Grignotiere
Villefranche-Sur-Mer
12/11/2024: Este restaurante entrega. Gran menú. Buena comida. Cenar por dentro o por fuera. Gente maravillosa dirige este restaurante. Finalmente encontramos una deliciosa Boulliabase en Villefranche. En el casco antiguo. Gran servicio, gran carta de vinos. Te encantará.
30/10/2024: Superbe petit restaurant familial sur la rue du Poilu, produits frais, plats délicieux et généreusement servis, rapport qualité prix imbattable dans ce coeur de village ultra touristique. Les tables en terrasse permettent de s'immerger dans cette petite rue à l'architecture de village italien, un vrai dépaysement. Le service est tout simplement au top, alors bien sur je recommande.

Les Corsaires
Villefranche-Sur-Mer
31/03/2024: My mum and I are customers of the tea room since day 1 and we used to love this place. Unfortunately 3rd unpleasant experience in a row: waiter is completely rude and poor customer service. We won’t support this local company place anymore! A shame for Villefranche notoriety!
My mother and I have been customers of the tea room since it opened and a fan since day 1. Unfortunately, 3rd unpleasant experience in a row with an anti-commercial and unpleasant server. We are from Villefranche and will no longer support this business. A shame for the image of Villefranche
30/03/2024: Best hotel experience we've had to date, fantastic view, friendly and professional staff who do everything to ensure you have a simple and nice stay. Perhaps the flowers in the breakfast restaurant need to be changed a little more often, but this is in the petty department.

Le Loco Loco
Villefranche-Sur-Mer
23/09/2024: Take a walk along the waterfront and recoil at the prices for average food, drink and service.
Then take a walk up the alley between Spallato and Wine Pier.
Don't be put off by the basic looking place or staff.
Sit down, you will be attended to by very friendly & efficient waiters.
The food is very original & authentic.
Prepared and presented beautifully by the chef.
Carafe of wine
Bottle of water
Steak
Salad Nicoise
Bread
2 shots ( on the house)
47 euros
Best meal of the trip so far. Hoping to come back before we leave.
19/09/2024: Delicious affordable food and drink. Prompt and efficient service. Lovely location. I enjoyed my evening meals here.
