Went there on a recommendation from our hotel. The food was great, but the service was even better. We were greeted with a warm smile and a bonsoir. All the staff spoke very passable English and we spoke awful French, but we were never made to feel like "dumb" Americans. On the contrary, they were helpful in explaining the dishes and even offered suggestions to avoid problems with my wife's food allergy. We had a pizza with ham and mushrooms along with pasta with amatriciana sauce...magnifique!
After a very long day in Monaco, we were tired and didn't want to go far from the hotel. We walked the three blocks to Auberge Saint Antoine for the second night! This time we both had steaks. I had the Coeur Rumsteak (filet mignon) and my wife had the rib eye; both came with frittes and salade. The steaks were cooked perfectly, the frittes were crisp and hot, and the salades were satisfyingly fresh. We shared a half bottle of a nice rose` which was the perfect accompaniment. The final touch was a chocolate mousse the was so light and rich at the same time. All of this came to less than €50 euro, a great value in my opinion.
If we have the fortune to visit Nice again soon, we will definitely dine at Auberge Saint...

I was indignant, asked to replace my dish, to which he replied that in that case I would have to pay twice. No changes, no compliments ( like a free dessert or drinks) from the restaurant, nothing, just a smirk and mockery.
This is unprofessional and says a lot about both the restaurant, its owner and employees. A lot depends on the service and perhaps if they had reacted differently, we would have come back here. But now there is no desire to come back or recommend it...
Read moreI recently dined at this restaurant and had a wonderful experience. First, I absolutely loved the ambiance of the place. I arrived a few minutes early, but they welcomed me warmly and made me feel right at home. The staff were incredibly patient and enthusiastic, helping me choose a dish based on my descriptions.
