Le Petit Nice Passedat

Disappointing experience... Monsieur Passedat's cuisine was excellent but is unfortunately not sublimated and highlighted by the staff who are not up to the standard of a 3 star.. We found ourselves in a room and a sad and cold atmosphere, like the staff and the chef. The staff hardly spoke, the explanations which accompanied the dishes were recited by heart. In addition, the prices charged are too excessive. Finally, we saw the chef several times throughout our meal, but did not introduce himself to us at all. What a pity !

We chose this restaurant for our 20th Anniversary, because we already knew it. Our first experience over a decade ago was memorable enough. This second visit surpassed our expectations. The staff is supper professional and friendly. Rudy Almonte was our waiter, and he did an amazing job. We could have not chosen a better place. One way to describe dinner here is that it is a gastronomical experience!

Five stars? We travelled in France for years and stayed at many hotels from "Chateau and Relais" collection. This one is by a large margin the most expensive and absolutely the worst. Chateau class properties typically have unique architecture, interesting character, nice rooms and grounds. This place has none. The room we got was a combo of a bedroom and bathroom including the tub and two sinks. It was long and narrow. So narrow that one had to squeeze sideways to get around the bed on one side. The advertised "sea view" was very restricted. The room we were given had nothing to do with what they show on the web side. There is no direct sea access - one has to get out of the hotel grounds and climb down the rocks to get to water. There is no beach - just slippery rocks. The staff is aloof and the street leading to the hotel is so narrow that driving even a small car is a stressful exercise. The Michelin 3-star one had only one fixed menu while on the web they show several. The Bistro had only one hot item on the menu (lamb) every day. We ate at the Bistro once and the food was OK but nothing special, but the same menu with one hot plate every day at a 5 star hotel? See photos.
