It (very unusually) was a terrible evening in Montauroux. The restaurant was almost full and the host very obligingly moved a couple of tables to get our group of 5 in. Everything thereafter was very slow. Our main courses arrived at 10:45, 2 hours later despite a couple of ‘ food will be with you in 2 mins’ over a 30 min period. The food was average. The rice for our main courses came almost 10 mins before the hot dishes. My wife really liked her cashew nut chicken but all 4 others said their chicken was rubbery and meal average to me the chicken was reheated. To be fair to the host, he was very nice and apologised a couple of times. But to arrive at 8:45 and leave at 11:30 for an average meal really didn’t do it for us. A complimentary coffee or drink would have been a gesture to acknowledge the unacceptable delay. So maybe it was just a bad night and unusually busy given the bad weather although we won’t try it again.

Great food and great service . Fresh tasting , good value for money. We will definitely be going there again. read more Great food and great service . Fresh tasting , good value for money. We will definitely be going there again.

I would recommend a visit to those who miss Asian food while away

All the locals come here, both for inexpensive weekday lunches, for big birthdays and romantic nights out. Run by a lovely Vietnamese family. The prices are very reasonable and the food is good
