We had visited in 2007 and had a lovely day trip to St Paul, now to celebrate my 30th birthday my husband had chosen here as a surprise location. It definately ticked all the boxes! The service was relaxed but enough not to be seen as lazy. We initially dined outside and just as our main meal arrived the heavens... more

Avoid this place! The service is incomprehensible rude. The best french restaurants do not treat you this way. These type of places try to attract tourist that enjoy being put down and then in turn putting down the other people around them. The food's standard is average. Trust the negative reviews on this site. more

The Colombe was a perfect choice to spend the first night after arriving in Nice from the U.S. It took about 15 minutes to get there and they allowed us to check in early. Our room was charming (if a little noisy) and the hotel employees were very helpful. We had dinner on the patio that evening and it was... more

I was brought to this restaurant by a local guide from France.She has always loved it and asked me if I trusted her with our lunch reservation.I did indeed and it was a wonderful experience! We had many small plates of french food to die for! We ate in the gardens and we were treated with the most care! I... more

The disappointment! Melon and ham for a starter? Shrimp cocktail? limp, blanched asparagus, tired old vegatables 'shaped', no sauces that didn't involve hollandaise. It really is the worst kind of old-school cooking, and not even done well. I was reminded of those cookery cards from the 70's that Robert Carrier managed to get into every home, with garish photos of... more

Having stayed here enticed by its reputation, and romantic location I too was really disappointed with La Colombe d'Or! My husband and I stayed for 10 days in Sept 2002 and really encountered rude, unhelpful service for the duration of our stay. I see things have changed little. That being said, it was no different to the service we received... more

I had lived In St Paul as an au pair many years ago and used to look through the heavy wooden door into the garden restaurant and imagine what it might be like to stay there. Well it took a while to find out but I booked for 3 days for my husband's birthday and flew our teenage children in... more

La Colombe d'Or has a unique character with rustic charm, and a very french personality. It is heavily focussed on a twice daily 'performance' at lunch and dinner when a highly professionnal team swing into action to deliver a magnificent menu with all the attention to detail and flourish you expect from a top class french restaurant. The portions are... more

I was amazed to read some severe criticisms of this extraordinary hotel. It is a place of great beauty and tranquillity. The food is sumptuous but unpretentious, with a menu that changes each day. The service is faultless, with courteous staff who make every effort to please. Although it was completely full, the hotel appeared to run on "oiled wheels"... more

We have recently returned from a HORRID Sunday lunch experience at La Colombe d'Or, where for 102 Euros we were treated with either indifference or distain. We had arranged a luncheon reservation about three weeks prior to our trip and were looking forward to a special lunch. When we arrived, the beautiful garden was empty, yet we were seated right... more
