Excited to test a new address offering a gluten-free option in Antibes, I would like to share my experience. If you wish to eat in this restaurant, reservations are recommended. This was not our case, to get a table we waited 45 minutes which is understandable at the end of which we were seated at a table of 4. However the waiter told us that if he had a table of 2 which would be releasing it would displace us, which again is very understandable. A table then became available 10 minutes after we took our seats, we had not yet ordered. We thought we would be asked to change tables at this point, but no request was made by the waiter when he came to take our orders. We were therefore surprised when 10 minutes after being served, the waiter asked us to move the table without the help of the staff, not giving us a very positive image of the quality of the service. The waiter ends up apologizing for this situation and tells us that the desserts will be offered to us as compensation, which we appreciated. What a surprise we were when we saw on the bill that only one dessert was actually offered… The icing on the cake is that the gluten-free pasta served is not fresh but industrial, Rumo, not to mention the brand. The staff lacked transparency and mentioned that the cost of a gluten-free option is €2, which is quite surprising for a restaurant that does not offer homemade gluten-free cuisine.... The positive point is that they are careful about cross contamination so I did not get sick (celiac). So I will not return to this restaurant….

It was our last night in antibes. What a great way to end it. The food was delicious. To sit in the small cafe and just watch the people on the street walk by as we started our meal with salmon capriese & mozzarella with roasted vegetables was heavenly. Definitely recommend the lasagna boulinaise and beef filet. My wife & daughter had the asparagus pasta & the carbonara with truffle. Both were outstanding. Pasta can be made gluten free - delicious. Very cozy, beautiful place to dine. Reservation recommended - we tried to walk in last night but they were full.
