Les Garcons - Villefranche-sur-Mer

We have visited Villefranche many times in the past and Les Garcia has been out favorite for several years. Sometimes in a weeklong trip, we would visit the restaurant three times. We had always found food to be excellent, the service friendly, and the prices reasonable. We had dinner at the restaurant last night, and we were extremely disappointed. The food was mediocre at best, and the prices have skyrocketed. Two of us ordered sea bream. The portions were small and nicely browned, but flooded in sauce. The apple tart was served flambéyed but the liquor was excessive and the taste of the liquor afterwards was overpowering. was pervasive afterwards. Most surprisingly, it was the cost. Prices have previously been very competitive with other some of the restaurants in the town, but they were really high now. In particular the cost of the desserts was exorbitant, much higher than other similar restaurants and equivalent to prime dining restaurants. We were very disappointed.

A very enjoyable meal, quite pricey especially the water!! Fantastic setting and ambiance tucked away in the streets of the old town

9 euros for a bottle of still water. Vraiment? Staff service was good, everything else OK but that’s all

Great service, very friendly and quick. Food excellent, no complaints. Definitely recommend! Lovely atmosphere and location.

Lovely food and service. They were full for the 7pm sitting so recommended somewhere for drinks and we dined at the 9pm service. Lovely atmosphere and delicious food. The cerviche was particularly good
