Côté Jardin — Restaurant in Grasse

Menu is from 17/06/25.

The meal was delicious. I had escargot with Chablis to start and then the truffle sauce beef with Cabernet Sauvignon as my main. I finished with limoncello sorbet. It was a bit out of the way from where I stayed in Antibes, and if you are driven there I would have them drop you off at the roundabout. You have to walk through the small outdoor shopping area to get there. It was worth the extra 10 minutes, as it checks every other box. It was also not very busy to my surprise.

As others have stated, the views are beautiful. The sunset on the hillside is more colorful vs the sea. I was bitten by a mosquito on the patio and they gave me repellant. Very hospitable towards tourists while remaining authentically French.

The waitress asked if I would like the check, but then never brought it. As a solo diner I don’t have anyone to chit chat with, so usually want to leave quickly after the meal (but this is not the French way). I just went up to the podium to pay and it...

We came back here today with a group of friends based on past good experiences. Food was ok but not exceptional. My chicken skewers with curry and ananas dish had a pretty big insect (cockroach? See photo and make you own mind up). When pointed out, one waiter just used his finger and swept it off my plate and to the floor. What?! The other, much more sympathetic, waiter arranged a replacement dish. Still a big miss for the kitchen to not notice such a disgusting inclusion in their "daily special" dish and it makes one question their approach to food hygiene/safe storage/cleanliness. At the end, the dish was not deducted from the bill nor were any other complimentary extras offered (beyond the like for like dish replacement). Based on this experience I've moved Côté Jardin from a previous 5* to a 2* review.

Previous review from over one year ago: Good food in scenic location. If you're staying in Antibes Les Pins, this is a staple...

We had a great time dining here. Perfect for a date night. I booked a table 2 days in advance but when we arrived, the table was not ready yet. I chose this restaurant to celebrate a quiet birthday night with my boyfriend (but if you want it to be loud, just let them know, so they will turn on birthday music with the speaker on, as well as a cake that come with firework) However, food was amazing. We had set menus; the portion was just right. Good selection of wine. Service was exceptional. The waitress was really polite and with her service mind, it made the night even more memorable. Beautiful ambience with music in the background. Reasonable price. A place to celebrate any special occasion sure that, I would...
