The most beautiful hotel and fantastic restaurant in France and perhaps even the world â This is a fantastic, small, intimate, and excellent hotel and restaurant in the mountains, just outside the scenery Saint Paul de Vence. Au Jardin is locked at the hotel La Vague which means The Wave in English, and the name originates from the building style of the hotel that is a wave seen from the birdâs perspective. This makes the hotel interesting and unique â there arenât long hallways abut curved ones, and it makes it interesting to walk around. I have stayed at the hotel five times, and I each time get surprised of how fantastic an atmosphere there is at the hotel. The reception is world-class with an extremely high level of service. Cleaning is excellent, and the entire area is kept very neatly. There is a large and gated parking area, a garden, various sitting areas, tennis court, a nice pool area with lots of sunbeds (this is not a place where it is necessary to reserve a sunbed). The pool offers a pool bar. Various sitting and dining areas around the pool. The area around the pool is gated, too. Then there is the restaurant. Local French residents like to sit inside, but the restaurant also offers a large terrace with awning, and that is where I had all my meals. The food the chef serves is truly amazing. Fantastic taste, great combinations, and it just looks so delicious. The service is excellent in the restaurant and the chef is really awesome and Michelin-worthy. He offers an exciting menu and very fantastic wines. The hotel is very family-friendly and it is gated and safe for children. The pool area is gated. Also, there is the art. La Vague is also an arts museum with two exhibition a year. The art is displayed in the garden and inside in the bar, in the reception, and in the restaurant. The art is exciting and new, and you can spend hours on studying the various artworks. The arts is groundbreaking and modern, and itâs fascinating. The hotel also offers some conference facilities and a large conference hall. The town of Saint Paul de Vence is a 20 minutes thru a authentic path away â or you can go by car and park in the garage just outside of the town (go straight in the roundabout). Dear Nicholas,What can we say after such a touching comment ?! We are so grateful : all the team of the hotel La Vague de Saint Paul and its restaurant Au Jardin de la Vague thanks you for that complete and exquisite description.We are all doing our best to offer to our guest the best welcome and above all the best holiday with us.Thanks again and see you soon.

A small cafe/restaurant with a external dining area in a vaulted zone under the belly of the historic buildings.It was a good place to find some welcome shade and refreshments on a scorching hot day - Buckwheat crepes, pastries, drinks and ice cream! We liked the funky tables decorated with old movie posters

We had dinner last Sunday and loved it. Each course was outstanding. We had an elderly sommelier with so much flair and charm that his younger colleagues should be aspiring to. Not to mention the amazing view overlooking Saint-Paul de Vence. I would go back again for sure.

I chose this restaurant because according to TA it was child friendly. Well it wasn't. The food was good and the place was really nice. The only thing I missed was a friendly service. During the 7 months I've lived in Nice, I have never received such unfriendly service anywhere in France. It already started when I arrived to the restaurant 40 minutes earlier and the restaurant is in the middle of nowhere. Worried that it might rain, I asked if I could wait inside, she told me that restaurant was closed but after a consideration did let me in. We had 3 children and it was really strict what they were allowed to do, this I also understand, but you can say things in a friendly manner also? The menu was only in French and the service was in French, which is ok for us, but maybe good to know if you choose this place. Unfortunately one child turned sick and we felt total lack of empathy, it was eyes rolling and annoyance rather than a single time asking a simply çava. This makes me sad, because it really doesn't cost anything to be human and show some empathy. It certainly helps if you work in services business.Chère madame Je suis navrée de l'accueil qui vous a été fait mais il est exact que vous vous êtes présentée alors que le restaurant était fermé et encours de mise en place Si vous aviez été dans un restaurant en ville vous auriez attendu sur le trottoir ou dans un bar IL VOUS A ÃTà PROPOSà DE PATIENTER DANS LE SALON DU JARDINIl ne pleuvait pas notre restaurant n est pas une cours de récréation pour les enfants où ils peuvent circuler à leur convenance et gêner les autres clientsIls ont courus pieds nus autour de la piscine en criant L'un de vos enfants était malade il a vomi dans les toilettes qu'il a fallu laver en plein service pour que les autres clients puissent s'y rendreNous lui avons permis de se doucher ( peu de restaurant le propose) et de dormir sur le canapé du salon alors qu'il est mis à disposition pour les clients qui souhaitent y boire l'apéritif ou le café ...Nous pensons avoir eu un comportement plus qu humain - peut être souhaitiez vous une garderie ? mais nous ne proposons pas cette option Je vous précise que les autres clients présents se sont plaints du comportement de vos enfants qui ne savent pas se tenir à table et qui les ont derange durant leur repas et Soiree alors que certain d'entres eux avaient fait le choix de sortir sans leurs enfants pour profiter de la Soiree Je vous précise également que la mention "adapte aux enfants" a été mise par des clients et pas par nous, ce qui veut dire qu'ils sont venus manger avec des enfants et que cela s'est bien passé peut être que ces parents savent gérer leurs enfants ...et concerne les plats et pas le jardinSalutations

We have been regularly visiting this restaurant under Mr. Scordel, who's creativity and hospitality we've loved. After the ownership has changed we were not sure what to expect and waited few months before visiting the place. And... what a great surprise! It has not only kept all the positives from the past, but added a lot of fresh notes and superb ideas. Very creative, imaginary cuisine, superbly presented. Fresh, savory compositions, driven by the season, with some Basque twist but still very French in execution and presentation. If one looks for gastronomic experience, respecting best ingredients and seasons, combining eclectic ideas with very modern culinary attitude - it is a great place to visit. Very friendly and professional service helps to enjoy the pleasures of food. Last but not least - we have been very positively surprised by the price we paid. For the quality offered it was like a gift! All together it is one of the best offers in the area. A must to visit and experience. We will certainly come back. Highly recommended to all food lovers.Dear Madam , dear Sir, it is with a great pleasure that we read your fantastic comment about our establishment , for which we would like sincerely to thank you ! We're so happy that our restaurant room , our cook , as well as the service have delighted you ! We were very happy to received you and to have met you.

We had a multi-course dinner at this restaurant; the food was very good and plentiful; and the server worked very hard to please the entire restaurant. This restaurant was recommended by our hotel, and it didn't disappoint. We ate salade nisoise, duck breast, and fries. There were a few families there with children.

Very much worth the visit. Starting with a lovely amuse bouche of golden beets, then with a rich and lovely consommé as a starter. We shared superbly cooked and flavoured lamb and beef main courses - both cooked rare and simply spot on. Not a step missed in the cooking and all courses were excellent with friendly and personal service and lovely seats outside. Highly recommended - c90 euros for the 4 of us including two large glasses of wine and soft drinks.

This is essentially a summertime, outdoor restaurant, catering largely to tourists but with a strong local following as well. My wife and I visited twice for meals during a week's holiday in Vence, once having pizzas, which were no better than average, but on the second occasion I opted for one of the restaurant's specialities from its wood-fired oven while my wife opted for a pasta dish. Again, the pasta dish was decidedly 'average' but my rabbit was unexpectedly delicious. It was served from a battered old dish straight from the oven and it had been singed in places as had added cloves of garlic and herbs. Potatoes from the same battered dish appeared to have been cooked by a flame thrower but were bathed in an unctuous sauce and tasted sublime. This was the very epitome of rustic French cooking and I would happily go back for more. As for pizza and pasta, there are better places to enjoy them in Vence. Service was pleasant and efficient and there was no interminable wait for the bill.

This place is simply the best BQ I have had on this side of the pond. Hands down. Everything served at the Bootgrill (and I have tried pretty much everything!) is lovingly prepared and cooked by Thierry. You can feel the passion in the food. I mean, octopus and pickled onions, scallops grilled int he shell, grilled lobster tail and potatoes, and of course, the tomahawk... The food is great, and the service and atmosphere are a solid YES! There is an air of friendly banter throughout the dining area, as good food and good humour go together like beef and beer! Speaking of beer, a great selection of local and not so local craft beer. Including my favorite, Blue Coast!
