  After unsuccessfully trying to get into two super popular restaurants for lunch, the boo and I were told Le Tilleul Menthe was a good spot. We got there just in the nick of time: there were only two tables left so we snagged the one outside right by the door, a perfect spot for watching both people and the food that was being brought up to the patio. Our server quickly brought us menus and was helpful with the suggestions.
  
  We were hungry and having a treat ourselves kind of day (as one does when visiting France) so we shared the Foie gras, Linguini aux Vongole, and Risotto Carnaroli aux Gambas & Parmesan. I don't know much about Foie gras, but what we got was large and fatty, but firm, and richer than any other version I'd had before. The boo really loved it. The Linguini featured lots of delicious clams, but was a bit too oily for me. The Risotto was divine. Perfectly cooked and the Parmesan flakes added fantastic flavor. The shrimp was also large and delicious. I wish there had been more because they were yummy! Although it was way more food than we needed, we savored every last bite! And then had a wonderful stroll along the whimsical streets of Saint-Paul de Vence. What more could you want in a vacation?

  Fantastic spot for lunch just left and up a little slope after you enter into the village, Saint Paul de Vence! Sit outside in the sunshine if you can but there's lots of seating inside as well. The food is fresh and perfectly prepared! You do need to ask for bread if you want any but the service was good and they do speak some English. If you like seafood, I highly recommend their Linguine vongole and the salmon was very good too! They have a great selection of salads too!

  Worst Michelin restaurant I have ever been to (currently counting 67). Services are slow and poor on every aspect of hospitality. I would ask everyone to stay away from this restaurant and spend your money on something worthwhile.

  Poor service. Unbelievably rude. They operate like they have a lock on customers - they kind of do, given how touristy the place is. Server was seriously disinterested in serving us. We also watched her "clean" tables with her hand.

  The place is nice, but the food was not great. Fish needed salt, calamari fries were a greasy mess. Not impressed at all.
