Auberge Des Seigners

The place feels steeped in history, from the furniture and lighting to the decor. I've never been to a cozier restaurant, and walking in felt a bit like joining an old brotherhood. It's family-owned across generations, and the staff are very kind and helpful, with real care for customers' comfort. The meats get grilled over three kinds of wood, which gives them a distinctive, delicious taste. I'd go for the lamb chops, with their secret ingredient on top, the combination is amazing. Well worth the trip, a real gem.

We had six of us, two adults and four hungry teenage boys, and this was the best meal of our week in Vence. The starters tasted so fresh, like summer, and the mains were terrific too. The saddle of veal stood out, though the steak and the suggested bream were both great. The value was exceptional. Auberge has been run by the same family for more than 100 years and is a Vence institution, but they clearly still care about getting everything right. We met three generations of servers, including Maman, who knew Marc Chagall back in the day. I can't recommend this inn highly enough!

We spent the evening here with my family and loved the warm, soulful French feel. If you want proper craft French cooking, this is the place. The meat cooked over the fire was incredibly tender, the crème brûlée assortment was so tasty, and the service was 100/10. I'd absolutely recommend it for an unforgettable evening!

The dinner was DELiCOUS. I began with a zucchini tomato flower, and the flavors were fabulous, then had the grilled beef steak, which was just as flavorful. Dessert was a lemon tiramisu, though I can't remember its name, and it was heavenly. The chocolate desserts looked good too. The dining room is small, so book ahead. The hotel was lovely as well, in the old town, with the quaint family-run charm I hoped for. Everyone at both the hotel and restaurant was warm and helpful with questions about getting around. My room was spacious, with a large bathroom and a very nice shower. Everything was spotless, the bed was comfortable, and I could hear the church bells without them being loud enough to wake me.
