Aux Bons Enfants — Restaurant in Grasse

Pulling up to Aux Bons Enfants is exactly what I was hoping for (as a tourist in the south of France). Cute and narrow winding cobblestone streets and pretty little storefronts.

The restaurant packed very quickly. Everything is a 3-course prix fixed menu set at 39€ per person, and you have the choice of approx 5 options of starters, main and dessert.

We started with both the tuna tartare on stracciatella, and the cheesey artichoke terrine- both were fantastic but the terrine was my favourite. For mains, we shared the beef tataki and the beef tongue with sauce gribiche. Again both were fantastic. The tataki was cold, refreshing and delicious. The beef tongue was crispy, warm and comforting. For dessert we got the mango pavlova and the strawberries and hibiscus dish - both were similar in their profile.

Service was polite, fast and attentive, and the only reason why we have the atmosphere a 4-star is the table outside was a little too small to hold two plates, water (and glasses), wine and bread. It would have been fine but the ice bags (a plastic bag version of an ice bucket) had handles that stick out and really got in the way of the small amount of table real estate you have.

Fantastic place - highly...

Food was excellent. We had high expectations from a Michelin bib gourmand restaurant and it still delivered!

49 Euro for a 3 course pre-fixe. Portion size is French, which means perfect for one person. We were extra hungry so we added a calamari main a-La carte. We both got the sashimi starter. For mains we got the nicoise cod, and black blood sausage pudding. Desert was mango pavlova and chocolate mousse.

Each bite was a mini orgasm in my mouth. Super fresh ingredients with flavors and textures that work perfectly together. Some dishes had better presentation than others, but all of them made a lasting impression taste wise.

Service is very friendly and also very typical French. Relaxed, they will not push you to rush so you must ask for the check.

One of the best bang for buck in quality taste...

This place comes highly recommended for a reason! I found this restaurant off the Michelin Guide and it’s a true gem in Cannes.

First, they are cash only!!

The $37 menu option (starter, main and dessert) is fantastic and I left beyond full and happy.

I tried— ‘Terrine d'artichauts au fromage & pancetta’—this was just okay for me.

‘Tartare de veau et hareng, pignons, Parmesan’—generous portion and came with fries; I couldn’t finish the dish.

For dessert I had the ‘Baba au, crème à la vanille’. I did not expect the potency in the cake. Definitely a jumpscare on my first bite and my waiter had a good laugh. Quite literally put hair on my chest!!

If you’re in Cannes, this a must! Book a reservation in advance as they are...
