We made a reservation for lunch and it was the best meal we had during our approximately two-week stay in France. It offers Japanese-French cuisine, which is hard to find in Korea. I heard it has received a Michelin star in the past; I hope it earns another star and stays here until we return to Nice.

The dishes, which perfectly showcased the flavors of the ingredients sourced that day, and the exquisite wine pairings were superb. We would definitely like to visit again when we return to Nice.

I did not enjoy the foie grass nor the mille feuille which was burnt. Service and vibes were impeccable.

We arrived at 12:05 PM and had to leave the restaurant at 2:00 PM, mainly due to a nearly 30-minute wait between the appetizer and the main course. This delay seemed particularly long, especially since other tables that arrived after us were served before us. From the moment we arrived, the chef's welcome was rather cold and directive, a stark contrast to his much warmer and more attentive attitude towards the other customers. This difference in treatment was difficult to understand and contributed to a certain unease throughout the meal. As for the food, the dishes were generally very good, with the exception of the sea urchin spaghetti, which was clearly lacking in flavor despite an extra €10 charge, which is regrettable. I am all the more disappointed because I had high expectations for this restaurant. I had wanted to come here for years. This meal also held a special significance, as it was a gathering with friends to honor a loved one we had recently lost. Unfortunately, the experience was marred by the service, and we didn't feel truly welcome. It's a real shame, because the quality of the food deserves equally good service. Under these circumstances, it doesn't make me want to return.

If you fancy unique tastes and real good cuisine then it’s a must. The ambiance is not ideal for kids, but even with that we enjoyed dinner with our 4 year old. Would love to come back soon!
