Le Cabanon - Les Arcs

Having a beautiful meal with friends and family is so important when they are on holiday. le cabanon supplies the food, wine and gas friendship to offer exactly that. we visited twice, first seven people, then five. We were all happy with eating. I think you can't make a wrong choice among the directed. the recommended wein was a good pairing with eating. the atmosphere was relaxed and not unusual.

We stopped there with a group of friends for lunch. the terrace is very comfortable with plenty of shade. eating was good, but the service was too slow. it took us hours to eat and get the bill. we have decided not to take a desert, just because we have to wait another hour.

We had read good reviews on the restaurant and so it went with excellent eating. the atmosphere was very nice and the service good and polite, although slow. the wee was good. eating was too little to say. with a lot of artificial preservatives/additives. the cream brûlée saved her call. not cheap.

This is a traditional small French restaurant with few tables inside with outside tables streetside. There is definite creativity while maintaining a sense of traditional fare. Although the waiter didn't speak English, he was extremely patient with us with a kind attitude towards visitors to...his country who didn't speak French. The food was well prepared and served in an unpretentious but beautiful setting. Prices were very reasonable for what we received that evening: a most memorable French Experience!

We discovered le Cabanon in May this year and were really thrilled. That time we were given a nicely decorated table in the front. Service and atmosphere were excellent, meal and wine were outstanding. The menu and suggestions gave us a varied choice So we...wondered why we had never visited the place before and were determined to put le Cabanon on our list, since we visit neighbouring Vidauban very regularly. We went back this evening. A completely different experience. We had booked with 'The Fork ' and had received Confirmation promptly. Upon arrival we heard they had not received our booking since they never consult the site! No problem though, plenty of free tables. This time we were hosted by a young girl, who disappeared to a space in the back without saying a word. we were supposed to follow her, apparently). Tables in the back are just plainly bistro-like decorated. 1st disappointment. Then the young waitress pushed 2 tables next to ours together. The suggestion board fell upon our table. An apology? Forget it. Next we ordered 2 glasses of champagne filled to the brim) which she literally smacked on the table. Menuwise the choice was very limited since 2 of 4 suggestions were 'sold out ' 7.30 Pm on a Saturday evening). The regular menu is limited to various preparations of steak, magret de canard, and gamba 's and coquiles saint Jacques together You find them in the starters, the mains and the pasta 's. So making a varied choice becomes quite difficult. I asked for one of their salads as a starter. Impossible. Salads only come as a main meal. half portions? No! Only 1 full to share. Unfortunately hubby doesn 't like goat cheese). So we went for just a main course. My husband was rather pleased with his magret, but my 'cocotte de mer ' was served in one of those small 'le creuset ' pots. 1 gamba, 1 coquile, 1 small piece of salmon and plenty of sauce) accompanied by a 'timbal ' de riz and a few pieces of mushy carrots. Bread as well as the glasses of wine we ordered were brought towards the end of our meal. Obviously I was in for dessert. I thought of going for the 'café gourmand '. When the lady heard I was not keen on all the honey in it, she just left, without asking if we wanted some other dessert or coffee. So we just asked for the bill and were back home in just after an hour. Upon leaving, no goodbyes or thank yous. over we then saw people being served on the terrace. We would have preferred it, but were never asked! Such a success the first time, such a diappointment now, unfortunately!
