La Villa Madie

The place is simply amazing . The service was excellent, no mistake or error. The wine list is super and real good pricing, except for the first growth Bordeaux- everything else was priced very reasonably. The food presentation and quality is up to three star. The chef visited every table- nice gesture. The atmosphere is magic. We will definitely return!

Brasserie du Corton Review (Not to be confused with La Villa Madie ***) The food was excellent. Really delicious and well executed. The highlights were the beef and oyster tartare, something that was novel for us. Also the veal dish where the meat was cleverly hidden inside the vegetables was a fun dish as well. Quite tasty! The negatives: It was really hot on the balcony, and there was no option to sit inside with air conditioning. There were no fans or anything to help with the heat on the balcony. Inside the "dining room" it was very disorganised and seemed like some of the staff's personal effects were just laying around. On a day with 34 degrees Celcius, perhaps having an air conditioned room for lunch would have been a good idea. The service was not good either. This is honestly not a place where you would expect to have to serve your own wine. But our glasses sat empty for 10 minutes plus, and our white wine bottle sat in the bucket while waiters walked back and forth. This is France, right? The country that invented gastronomy and wine service? The restaurant downstairs has the highest culinary distinction from a certain tire company, right? If you want to respond with "oh well, if you wanted that level of service, then go to La Villa Madie." Wrong. There are many hotels that have the brasserie - fine dining restaurants combo, and their levels of service are comparable. That was not the case here. To be fair the food was excellent, and on a less hot day in the spring or fall the balcony would have been lovely. Installing some ceiling fans would go a long way towards thermal comfort in the summer on the balcony, with the added huge bonus of keeping flies and mosquitos away from guests. The wine service and organisation of the inside dining room need improvement.

I visited this exquisite restaurant for lunch with my wife to celebrate her birthday, and it was an unforgettable experience. The ambiance was truly enchanting, with stunning decor that harmoniously complemented the breathtaking views surrounding us. Each dish was crafted with a thoughtful blend of seasonal and locally sourced ingredients. The presentation was a feast for the eyes, while the flavors danced across our palates, leaving us in awe of the remarkable cooking. The staff provided an exceptional level of service, taking the time to thoroughly explain the intricate details of the food and wine pairings, all in English. Their warmth and friendliness made us feel right at home. Having dined at numerous Michelin-starred restaurants, we found La Villa Madie to be our favorite of them all.

Everything was perfect!We experienced culinary poetry here.Excellent service!Plus the stupendous view of the Ocean made everything unforgettable.Highly recommended when you’re in Cassis!

After making a later booking, we decided to arrive about an hour early due to our hotel’s check-out time. We were pleasantly surprised by how effortlessly the staff accommodated this. As we walked through the restaurant to the outdoor terrace, we were greeted by a stunning view from our table. We initially dined outside but moved indoors later due to a change in the weather. The food was exquisite, both in taste and presentation. Unfortunately, a flight cancellation that evening prevented us from fully savoring our meal. However, the staff graciously expedited the service, allowing us to complete our meal while reworking our travel plans. They even packed the petit fours for us to enjoy on our way home!

We loved this meal. Incredible experience and our sommelier was amazing

Despite insisting we participate in a three course menu, the staff seemingly forgot our third course (and our coffee). We waited for two hours, asked twice, watched tables around us change hands and lap us—receiving first and second courses they’d ordered an hour and a half after we’d sat down. No accountability from the staff. A disappointing and expensive waste of a beautiful afternoon. At least the view kept us company.

An outstanding meal to remember for a very long time. As we made our way down the Côte d’Azur, we wanted to treat ourselves to a nice lunch and the experience here topped anything we’ve had. We loved that we were invited to a beautiful lounging area with great views for amuse bouche and cocktails, to be then invited back to the beautiful al fresco dining area. The food was so so fresh and delightful. I forgot their names but was so impressed by the fish pressed on a thin cracker and fresh shrimp sprinkled with coffee grounds. The wine was beautiful too. Service was excellent as you would expect from a Michelin restaurant. Everything was perfect! We went with a shorter fixed course menu since it was lunch, but the service went from 12pm to past 4pm and we were stuffed (in a great way). We were then sent off with a very delicious freshly baked bun (with orange zest). Such a pleasant and enjoyable meal. We were so glad we celebrated our anniversary here.

We had our first honeymoon dinner here. The views were beautiful from the patio, you could see the cliffs and ocean. It started to sprinkle a little and they opened large umbrellas and kept us there - thankfully the weather was brief and it was lovely. The service was excellent, as was the food. They accommodated my husband who is a vegetarian, which was great. He ate just as many courses as I did. This is a fine dining restaurant...for those who felt like they weren't treated well - you need to treat places in France with respect. If you show up to a fancy place looking very underdressed, you may feel their scorn/disappointment. Dress for the price and occasion and they treat you fantastically.

We went there for Sunday lunch. A modernized version of the classic French meal. This place is nestled below a cliff, above a private beach--throughout the meal, my son and other kids were jumping up to wander down the path to the beach. My dh and MiL had the prix fixe menu, which was an unbelievable amount of food, plus they are not skimpy on the amusee bouches. I had the salad with lobster and ink vermicelli, which was delicious, as well as the Dourade, a local fish. All the seafood was incredibly fresh and cooked perfectly. The sommelieuse was friendly and knowledgable, and highly attentive to empty glasses. The 'official' desserts were so incredibly tasty--I had a chocolate tart that I might remember on my deathbed--plus they gave us a stewed apricot with basil (?) ice cream before the dessert arrived, and then additional nibbly chocolate things with coffee. Expect to spend a couple of hours eating this meal--it's pricey, but for a once in a lifetime lunch, fully worth it!

I went there for new year celebration with my girlfriend. Starting with the good points. The room is great and the noise level is good. The food is also tasty, so many courses I couldn't count. Maybe a little bit too much food for my stomach to take. I think the service is okay, but not very warm. It is really expensive and one could expect top quality in every aspect. Well the service is a little bit condescending in my opinion. Also I got sick, really sick basically an hour after the meal, I didn't get anything else so I am sure it is food poisoning. Not what I would expect from a 2 Michelin start restaurant! The story doesn't end here, I told them I got sick and they could maybe use this feedback to recheck food quality. I was told that I was the only one who got sick (which by the way is not necessarily true, maybe I am the only one who told them) and that the quality of their food was top notch. I only feel they refused to admit that they poisoned me. I will never go back there.

Do yourself a favor and avoid this place. The food is not great and they are very rude and aggressive. When we complained, they lied about the situation and blamed us. If you are not French or are not dressed in black tie, they will ostracize you and make fun of you. Also, after we complained via social media, they stalked us and threatened us via our personal LinkedIn and email addresses. Very frightening, considering the cost of this place.

Nice place but the food is mundane not that good and not up to the price be aware it is not an outstanding restaurant The experience is just not there Lot if room to improve

Gracious staff, wonderful patio view of the Med and of what is said to be the highest cliff in France. They have enclosed parking on site before we entered the door,. This is a plus in this area of verticality. The service was attentive. Chef's creations terrific . I was surprised that the seafood local choices were few that day. House wine of local Cassis was so wonderful that it made us fans of Cassis whites. The staff seemed distracted before our leaving, and I was puzzled. Did we not express our pleasure enough, or later leave a large enough gratuity? So what! We plan to dine there again.

The food is ok good but not outstanding and we haven't been surprise at all. We were expecting discovering something. Nice view but the building is too modern for the area and look like all these new places: aseptic kind of fake japanese style. Good but not what we were expecting never less you will have good time if you want too. They might have improve since then we went 2 years ago.

Extremely rude. We went for lunch without reservations, at 1:30PM. When we arrived, we asked for a table for 4. We were told by the hostess that they only had a table for two, despite begin able to see at least eight open tables, and only two with customers. When we asked how late they served lunch, they said 1:30 (the time we arrived) when the sign on the door clearly said they served until 2:30. It was fairly clear they didn't want to serve us -- a casually dressed American couple with 12- and 16-year old girls -- instead of their haughtier clientele.
