Fantastic experience. Loved the decor, music and ambience. The food was some of the best we’ve eaten and we were hugely grateful to our waitress negotiating a portion of steak and chips for our youngest daughter who had not been keen on trying any of the mains on offer. Though she loved the chocolate fondant! Thank you team
Great menu and dishes, very nice service and ambience
Relaxed restaurant with a good vibe, the staff is friendly and knowledgeable about the food and wines (what to pair with what). I enjoyed the foie gras and then the octopus and chorizo (with peppers) which paired nicely with a burgundy white wine (Aligote). The portions are quite generous as well, so plan your meals well if you want to have dessert
a great twist on classic French cuisine. The drink selection was impressive, with a variety of excellent wines and cocktails to choose from. The atmosphere was both relaxed and beautiful, making it the perfect spot for a great evening. The service was friendly and attentive, though at the beginning, we did have to wait a bit longer than expected for our order to be taken and for the food to arrive. However, everything else was truly outstanding, and the quality of the food more than made up for it. Would definitely recommend and come back again!
Absolutely fantastic experience at UVA Restaurant in Cannes! The ambiance is elegant and inviting, making it a lovely setting for a special night out. I highly recommend trying the Côte de Bœuf — it was absolutely outstanding! Cooked to perfection, juicy, flavorful, and served with delicious sides. The quality of the meat and the expert preparation truly made it a highlight of our meal. While the staff were okay—friendly but not the most attentive—the overall experience was still excellent. The food more than made up for it, and I would definitely return for such a fantastic dining experience. Overall, a 5-star restaurant with incredible cuisine and a great atmosphere. Highly recommended!
Best food I've had between Spain, Italy, and France. Authenic and creative for the area. A perfect atmospheric mix of classy and casual. The staff gave great suggestions on wine pairings and food. Highly recommend the truffle risotto.
Really awesome restaurant!! Everything was delicious. We had raviolo, risotto with a lots of truffles and shrimps. The kids had French fries and even they said it was the best ever :) the tartar sauce for the fries was also extraordinary:) the service was superb. I really recommend it if you want to eat something special:)
A hidden gem in Cannes for lovers of French cuisine. The ambient, softly lit dining room creates a tranquil retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city. Each dish—from the crab ravioli to the strawberry panna cotta—was prepared with care and tasted sublime. Prices are surprisingly gentle on the wallet, especially considering the quality. Attentive staff add to the seamless experience. Perfect for a romantic dinner or a quiet catch-up with friends.
