"A large patio and a spacious, modern interior with an open-plan kitchen set the scene for spot-on, bistronomic cuisine, steeped in the aromas and flavours of Provence and the Mediterranean. Delicious chard-flavoured gnocchi (“Merda de Can” - a delicacy of Nice), caponata-style fillet of dentex in red wine and rose-scented rum baba… A cheerful, friendly vibe with wines by the glass from a magnum bottle…" - Michelin Inspector

What a gem!!! We had the pleasure of dining at Caffé César, and it was an experience that felt both refined and genuinely exciting. From the moment the first dish arrived, it was clear that quality ingredients were at the heart of the menu. Each plate showcased a respect for seasonality and freshness, but what made the meal truly memorable were the bold, unexpected combinations that transformed familiar flavors into something extraordinary. The mains were a study in creativity and precision. Like the fish of the day served on a lemon sauce with cardamom and a pumpkin puree; the lam tart, the veal casserole “Caffé”and the beef served with purple carrot puree and mushroom puff pastry. These weren’t just dishes; they felt like carefully composed stories told through ingredients. Desserts carried the same spirit of innovation. Like a the delicate apple tart sprinkled with celery powder and served with tiny celery pieces; not to forget the white peaches served with a pistachio mousse and a jelly of jasmin — a combination that sounded daring on paper but revealed itself as refreshing and elegant. Presentation throughout the evening was thoughtful without being fussy: each plate felt artful, but the focus remained firmly on flavor. Service mirrored the food—attentive, knowledgeable, and warmly enthusiastic about the chef’s vision. Caffé César is not just about eating well; it’s about being surprised, delighted, and reminded that fine dining can be inventive without losing its soul. A place we returned to in the one week of holiday, as the menu changes weekly, and recommend to anyone seeking a meal that lingers in memory.

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

Such a lovely place! Really friendly service and the dishes are very special with well selected ingredients. The desserts were also a wonderful surprise. The menu changes every week so we will definitely be back. Thank you for having us!

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.
