This is the kind of restaurant where you simply want to have lunch at a reasonable price without any pretentiousness feeling but a unique location : the old harbor of Villefranche sur Mer. It's the kind of place where you will find all targets or people. From local works to foreigners who appreciate the simple pleasure of the setting. I recommend to take the dish of the day since they are usually fresh and more tasty. The friendly owner Philippe will guide you through the menu and the staff gives you a pleasant experience.
We had a wonderful lunch at this lovely restaurant. We were two families with 4 children. Arrived from the beach and they were full outside but we sat inside despite the owner worrying we would get too hot (we didn't). Everyone ordered different things some from the menu of the day and some off the main menu. All our food was superb and delicious. In terms of quality and price, i think this is the best value food I've ever had in Villefranche and I've been visiting for over a decade. We will definitely return!
Restaurant used by locals, run by locals using freshly caught fish, in which the restaurant specialises. IF you are staying at Le Versailles Hotel, turn left at main foyer, take left hand pavement for 150m then descend to Le Cockpit by using pathway with 275 steps! Come back via Citadel old town. Well worth the effort. Return night after night! Excellent could not fault it but book a table! It is a must!
We dropped in to this lovely oceanside cafe for a glass of wine alfresco. We told the waiter that we only wanted a glass of wine. When pressed to order food and being reminded that we only wanted wine the waiter became dismissive and rude. This is the first time we have ever written a bad review on TripAdvisor.
