la petite escale — Restaurant in Grasse

One of the servers here is somewhat rude. Made a reservation under an American number, arrived and showed an email confirmation of my reservation, and the woman proceeds to respond with a “we called you and you didn’t respond so we cancelled your reservation” multiple times over again despite the fact that I showed her my email confirmation, to which she completely ignored and kept explaining. I must have made a mistake by not calling the restaurant directly, but instead of explaining that she interrupted me multiple times. She gave us a table anyways, but Afterwards, she proceeded quite condescending, speaking to me and my friends like children when we ordered in French.

Also, we were very impressed by how they perfectly managed all the tables with only 2 people and the chef. Genuinely impressed.

Overall, a 10/10 place to visit. Worth...

A real gem - delicious and well thought out food served by friendly and attentive staff. This charming restaurant and the menu are both small (choice of three starters, mains and puddings) but once you’ve tasted the food, you realise why. My family was astonished by the high standard of food coming out of the tiny (and visible) kitchen and produced by one chef. You will definitely need to book (phone). It was so good, we went back in the last night of our holiday. And Hannah’s personal cocktail was a great way to round off the evening! Highly recommended restaurant - in a town that has many places to eat, this place...
