Good food, but the waiter was very stressful. He told us it was his first day. Booking is must.

Chez David is such a charming restaurant in Cagnes-sur-Mer. The host and wait staff were friendly and helpful and the food was plentiful and delicious. The beef stew and gnocchi was one of the best meals we ate the entire time we were in France and I highly recommend eating here if you are in the area.

Very good experience ! The restaurant is small but cosy. It was privatized for a special occasion and they let you redecorate if you want. The service was fine and food was delicious too. I recommend the risotto fruit de mer for the entrée and the chocolate cake for dessert. It's a good fit for couples, family and friends.

Tucked away from the main tourist trails, this Provençal gem is definitely worth seeking out. The tasting menu is a delightful blend of homemade comfort and the finest Provençal culinary traditions. The wine? Fantastic. The atmosphere? Warm and inviting. And the service? Absolutely spot on. Honestly, it’s one of the best spots I’ve come across in this part of France. If you’re in the area, make sure to treat yourself to this experience—it’s a little slice of culinary heaven.
