La Brouette — Restaurant in Grasse

The past reviews were quite misleading. The location and set up are really cute with a nice view on st paul de vence, the restaurant is quite rustic and is perfect for a romantic night, the service was very friendly but quite slow and not perfect. You need to chose from 2 menus which contain the same basically. The dishes are danish. I thought it would be danish specialities but with some fusion with french cuisine. Overall we were quite disappointed it was quite simple and average taste. The owner strongly directed us to chose dishes that he had in stock. Some tables and ourselves did not get one of the dish and we were asked to eat another fishy marinated dish without any discount on the bill.

I would go far out of my way to pass through Vence in order to eat here. La Brouette is a truly...

The food was delicious and very reasonably priced. The prix fixe menu included an array of 4 appetizers (small portions of each), an entre and a dessert for 35 euros. There were also other prix fixe options for 25 and 30 euros.

The setting was beautiful; we ate outdoors with a beautiful view.

But the service was the most special part. The owner and family are the nicest people. Seriously.

I got a flat tire on the way to the restaurant on my rental car and was able to pull over just at the top of the driveway to the restaurant. The owner's son, Erik, came out to help me and he changed the tire for me. He gets good karma points for life.

Incredible people, food and environment. You should...
