Villa Archange - Bastide Bruno Oger

A decade has passed since my last visit to this establishment, and remarkably, some elements remain steadfast. The culinary creations continue to astonish and delight, characterized by their inventive flair and exquisite flavors that linger on the palate. However, the service retains its signature brusqueness, a stark contrast to the artistry unfolding in the kitchen. This juxtaposition between the sublime dishes and the abrupt service creates a unique dining experience that is unforgettable, if not entirely comfortable.

Lives up to its two stars and then some; one of the best meals we have ever had. Delicious, innovative and filling with a great and well priced wine list in a surprisingly isolated feeling environment.

Exploring La Cannet and enjoyed a lovely lunch at Villa Archange by Bruno Oger. Lunch was alfresco in their courtyard with massive trees providing shade and a light breeze. There was amble parking onsite. The meal was such a treat for us – before we even had the menus, we had a delight of treats to tempt the palate. We ordered their 5 course lunch which although good, will be filling. From langostines to the veal – every dish was a lovely culinary journey. Some tastes are pleasingly familiar (i.e. a curry foam over seafood) yet a refreshing twist or dimension can always be found. Every course made you close your eyes and savour as your tastebuds danced. Service was excellent with all waiters helpful and unobtrusive, fluent English speakers which helps us, and eager to help for anything you need (including asking where to visit in the city centre and where to park!!). Finally, we met the chef himself and what a treat to chat with him – he told us of the history of the location (it was abandoned for 30 years before they took it over and transformed it into the lovely restaurant it is today) and came back twice to check on our meal. True pride and joy in his restaurant, his team, and his cooking. Such a lovely experience and next time we come back, we will also pop into the Bistro for a meal!

We went to the Chef’s table and it was like watching a true conductor work with his orchestra. From the magic in the kitchen to the tastes and complexity on the plate, Chef Oger and team truly surprise and delight with every bite

So positive and nice atmosphere in this place. Of course you have to pay for it, but I have visited to many Michelin restaurants even with 3 stars , but this 2 stars Michelin restaurant deserves to have 3 stars totally ! Dinner for 2 without wine is around thousand. The chef was visiting each table in the end. Each food had a unique flavour and a lot effort was put into making. Thank you Bruno Oger and your team for our nice evening in May ❤️🇫🇷

One of the best étoilé I've visited. From the atmosphere to the culinary delicacies, it's a blast throughout. Each dish is a firework of flavours, carefully crafted, taking you to a different place full of surprises. When cuisine is an art.

Hands down the best restaurant meal I have ever eaten. Mind you, I rarely get the opportunity to dine in a Michelin starred restaurant and have only been to half a dozen. Everything about the experience was superb. Minor quibble- the steep walk uphill and down on the driveway from the restaurant was difficult for my wife, who had on leather sole flats which slipped. She would have fallen if I had not been holding her hand. Upon arrival at the Villa, from the moment we were greeted by the Maitre d’Hotel we were comfortably. There were only 11 tables on the terrace, well spaced and a wait staff of 5. They were very attentive but not intrusive. The patron stopped at our table to welcome us and then before being offered a menu, we received complimentary hors d’oeuvres which set the tone for the rest of the evening. The presentation, texture and flavors of this painstakingly prepared small morsels were superb. We chose the 9 course “surprise” menu, each course perfectly prepared and plated and with bursting flavors. The only food disappointments were the voilaille (chicken) course which seemed undercooked. Definitely not in the same league as the other 8 courses. Our favorites were the langoustine and bar (Mediterranean sea bass) courses. All of the courses were imaginative with delicate flavors and textures. We cannot comment on wine pairings since we don’t drink. The end to a perfect evening- mint tea and a gift box from le patron. This is the type of meal I can only dream about all year until we return to the Côte d’Azur. One you have appreciated a meal such as this, everything else pales in comparison. Thank you M. Oger

This 2 star Michelin restaurant is my new fav restaurant worldwide. If staying in Nice, Caan or anywhere near this restaurant - it is a MUST go. The food was exceptional and very unique. Chef Bruno is very talented and creative. The menu changes but I would recommend the 5 course tasting menu. Plenty of food. I would also suggest the wine pairing which complimented the experience perfectly. The setting is an old house and we sat outside which made the ambiance over the top.

A truly spectacular meal, with superb service and a gorgeous setting. The talented chef made a special multi-course vegan meal for our table mates. Every bite of this meal was memorable. A must-eat-at place.
