De beoordeling van de Michelin Gids
Straddling the ramparts of the old town, between the Picasso Museum and the Marché Provençal, this place is redolent of Provence! The fig tree gracing the patio is just the start. At the helm of this family-run country house is Christian Morisset, whose curly moustache has almost become part of the local heritage. With his wife holding the fort front of house, and assisted in the kitchen by his son, the chef loves to cook with fine, tasty ingredients, which he selects every week at the Old Antibes market and the Forville Market in Cannes. His squid-ink cuttlefish cannelloni with a shellfish jus made with fresh basil leaves and his saddle of lamb cooked in Vallauris clay have become real signature dishes.
