Maurin des Maures

We had such a great experience whilst visiting as a family of four from the UK. We stayed up the road at La Villa Douce (which whilst amazing doesn’t really cater food for children! . We have driven past the restaurant on several occasions in the pursuit of exploring the area. We wish we had stopped and eaten here sooner it was the best meal we had experienced in the area! The best service. The best value for money. The best food and creativity without being obnoxious. Thank you chef for some really good food which catered for adults children

We were reluctant to book this restaurant given the recent bad reviews. However it was the only restaurant that opened in time for us to have dinner and attend the concert which started at 9pm. From the moment we were welcomed by the manager and shown to our table overlooking the Iles d’Or, I knew we had made no mistake. What do you want in a Cote d’Azur restaurant? Excellent informal service, good local ingredients in the hands of a creative chef. Maurin does this in spades. The menu is very fish oriented, but there are also a wide option for vegetarians and meat eaters. The star of the show is the bouillabaisse, and the head chef makes quite a show when one is ordered. We had a fantastic meal and we will be back.

We used to love this place- great weekly band, good fish and atmosphere but this August was awful. The melanzana and courgette cake seemed prepared or frozen and arrived half warm and gloppy- truly inedible. The fish didn’t seem fresh and was tasteless and came with an awful vinegar. I realise that it’s been hard times but to charge those prices for this sub par quality is not on. Bring back the old standards and quality please!

We ordered a fish. The waiter cleaned the fish in front of us and put a vinaigrette on top of it, without asking us, if we liked it. The side dishes were terrible: overcooked and tasteless vegetables and a potato gratin that looked like it was some leftover warmed up! To be avoided!

We were celebrating the last evening of our Cote D 'azur holiday in this restaurant, of course for 11 people we booked the table per phone. You can check the Web page, but the prices are higher on site, roughly 2€. Some of us took the menu and you need to be aware that vegan or vegetarian is interpreted somehow different. Be precise in your order. The bottle of wine was just opened and left on the table without the chance to 'try ', also when we finished it, no one asked if we want another one. The food was okish. The Pulpo was medium warm and not what I would expect a la plancha, seems it waited too long to be served. Optically (see pics), the dishes looked great, but price per value is not there. Also for the dessert, we waited more than 30min and it was all ready prepared from the fridge. I would recommend to check the bill as we needed to explain and correct what we had 3 times. So in a nutshell, it seems the restaurant had its time and now it ended up in hectic and confusion. Next time we would try a different one.
