Le Phenicia — Restaurant in Grasse

I recently had the pleasure of dining at LE PHENICIA in Antibes and I must say, it was an extraordinary experience. From the moment I stepped in, I was warmly welcomed by the staff who exhibited genuine hospitality and attentiveness throughout the evening.

The ambiance of the restaurant was delightful, creating a perfect setting for a relaxed and enjoyable dinner.

Now, onto the food—the highlight of the evening. Every dish I tried was a masterpiece, bursting with authentic flavors and made with the freshest ingredients. The mezze platter was a fantastic start, offering a variety of traditional Lebanese appetizers that were both vibrant and delicious.

To finish off the meal, I indulged in some orange flower flan. The dessert was the perfect balance of sweetness and texture. The orange flower was present but not overwhelming (not easy).

An exceptional Lebanese fine dining experience, enhanced by the charm of the roadside setting, a refreshing breeze, and the view of vessels sailing across the Mediterranean.

The falafel stood out both in taste and presentation, with a distinctive gourmet flair.

To end the meal, we shared a platter of traditional Lebanese mini sweets—beautifully crafted bites filled with dates and topped with pistachios and walnuts. I can’t recall the exact name, but they were truly unique and delightful. The children sipped on refreshing mocktails while the adults enjoyed a bottle of Chardonnay. All in all, a memorable and elegant...

Delicious food, but bring your detective hat!

The food at Le Phénicia is delicious but to enjoy the full experience, you might want to play a little game: spot the difference. See if you can find the three differences between what you ordered, what you got, and what shows up on your bill.

In our case, we received more kebbé than we asked for (surprise! a bigger dish also more expensive, of course), one type of meat was missing from the mixed grill, and the wine listed on the bill wasn’t the one we actually drank (guess what - yes, the pricier bottle).

So if you decide to visit this restaurant, you have two choices: Relax, enjoy the food, and don’t stress about the bill, just accept it. Take a photo of the menu beforehand and compare it carefully when the...
