Caffé César, Restaurant L’initial

Exceptional food, great service, even for dumb Americans who love food. We've been all over Europe and this casual yet refined restaurant ticks all the boxes: no frills dining, local feel, great service and divine food. Camille started us off with a Puilly Fuissé that paired excellently with our starters, the shrimp roullete & the gnocchi. Then they were out of a Pinot from Provence that they were out of so she swapped it for a Beaujolais (of which we were skeptical) that turned out to be perfect for our lamb, cod & raviolo. And it was €20 cheaper! Finally we had a triple layer chocolate cake and a plum desserts that were so good I can't begin to criticize them. On top of all that we had a gluten allergy that they were highly attentive to and we'd been sat outside before it started to pour so they deftly moved us in with no interruption to service. On top of that there were little things you notice working in hospitality: no food served until wine is poured; a fork clangs to the floor and someone's there with a replacement; someone goes for a cigarette break and the second they sit back down the dessert is served. HIGHLY recommend! Don't go expecting a fussy white glove experience but go with friends and have fun while enjoying an incredible meal

Very good restaurant in a nice setting. Highly recommended

Absolutely one if the best meals and service we've had on our entire time in France. The dishes were inventive, beautiful, and the service were just flat-out amazing. The knowledge and descriptions of the waiter were the giveaway that we were about to have something special. If you're in the area, don't miss your chance for this local gem.

The food was good and nicely presented. The service felt rather impersonal, and the atmosphere wasn’t particularly inviting. Overall, a decent place for a meal, though not one I’d go out of my way to revisit.

A very good Restaurant, the food is incredibly good and the price very low for the quality that you get. The view is lovely as well, Food arrived after just a few minutes of ordering. Absolutely recommended

Very good food with fresh ingredients. The server is very nice. We have enjoyed the lunch very much. Definitely will go back again.

The best meal and service we’ve had in France—hands down! We stumbled upon Caffé César L’initial and were absolutely blown away. So much so, we returned for dinner the same day after having an incredible lunch! The food was exceptional—creative, fresh, and beautifully executed—but what made our experience truly unforgettable was the warmth and generosity of the team. A special thank you to Guillaume, whose hospitality and kindness made us feel so welcome. And to the chefs—thank you for your talent and generosity. Every dish was a delight. This place is a true gem, and easily our most memorable dining experience in France. We hope you make it to Sydney to visit your best friend, Guillaume :) All the best to the whole crew at Caffé César. — Emma, Fraser & Lennox
