Restaurant Le Grimaldi

Let's just say that the evening was completely heading down the crapper, and fast! I had made - in person - reservations the night before for this evening at another local restaurant for six o'clock for our family of four - mom, dad, boy & baby. There were other absolutely raving reviews for this place, but when we showed up right on time at six, I was told curtly and with absolutely no apology to come back at seven. There was no attempt towards offering any explaination, and the tone was quite abrupt and rude. There was no way on god's green earth that I was going to go back to that place an hour later and give them even one euro of my money. Plan A, which I believed to be a rock solid plan, was off the table. I had been really looking forward to a nice dinner out. To say that I was frustrated and disappointed would be a huge understatement. So, what next? We walked over to another restaurant that I had heard some good things about, but it wasn't open on Sunday. Grrrr. We decided to head back up to the plaza around the chateau in Haut de Cagnes where we had eaten lunch earlier in the day. After a brief stroll checking out the menus, we settled on Le Grimaldi. We were warmly greeted by Valerie, our hostess and our server. She got William started off immediately with the kid's menu offerings - salmon, steak, or risotto. William opted for the risotto with vegetables. His meal arrived promptly while dad and I were still looking over the menu. It was a generous serving, which I nibbled on, gave some to the baby, and there was still a reasonable portion to take home with us. It was creamy and delicious! Fresh from the oven crusly rolls were brought to the table while we waited for our orders. I ordered an appetizer of fried zucchini blossoms and gespacho. There were plenty of the blossoms to share, but only a small serving of the gespacho. It was very tasty; when I lamented to Valerie the small portion she brought me another! My true love ordered the entrecôte; he asked for it medium (to defer to my preference for how meat is cooked) but it arrived more well done, which completely suited his taste. It did steal a couple of bites and it was quite good. I ordered the sea bass; it arrived as many fish dishes do as the entire fish. It had been prepared with lemon and basil cooked inside with a generous swab of chopped garlic arcoss the top. It was cooked to perfection; light, flaky and moist. (I couldn't help but share a few tender morsels with one of the many cats who haunt the area who was parked out under our table.) As for prices, my sea bass was 18 euro, the steak was 17 euro, the bottle of wine was 23, and the kids meal was 10. Totally fair prices as far as I'm concerned. After getting the big brush off, we had a wonderful meal with friendly service. I would whole heartedly recommend Le Girmaldi if your adventures lead you to Haut de Cagnes in the future. Bon appetit!

Super accueil pour le restaurant les plats sont délicieux avec une jolie présentation. Pour ma part j’ai opté pour le steak tartre franchement une tuerie très raffiné. Sans doute le meilleur tartare que j’ai mangé. Moins relevé mais tellement subtile. Merci aussi au chef et au personnel très sympathique. Mon épouse à opté pour le poisson d’une excellente qualité et toujours avec cette jolie présentation. Bonne continuation à l’équipe .

Le lieu, l'ambiance, le service, le personnels ,la qualité des produits, la présentation des assiettes et la quantité. Tout était parfait je conseille vivement cet établissement Pour ma part nous y retournerons

Nous avons mangé un soir dans ce restaurant, bel endroit, jolies déco, personnel agréable, service rapide, plats, desserts délicieux nous reviendrons certainement.

Nous avons dîné au restaurant de l’hôtel le 18/03/2023. Excellent repas, cocktails très bons, entrée plat dessert le tout pour 70 € à deux. L’endroit est vraiment très sympa, en plein milieu de la place sous les remparts du château de Grimaldi. Nous recommandons sans retenue !

Je suis un habitué de ce restaurant à chaque vacances passé dans le sud. Je recommande vivement les plats sont rafinés et les portions généreuses. Il y a clairement une montée en gamme grace au nouveau chef de cuisine. Je reviendrais avec grand plaisir.
