Restaurant review: @restaurantlougolin in Plascass Restaurant review: @restaurantlougolin in Plascassier

🤩 That view! Breathtaking glasswindow overlooking Grasse and the Cannes Bay with the Esterel mountains in the background. Plus the verandah was nicely heated for a cosy winter lunch.

🥘 The food is delicious presented in a delicate way with colours and flowers. I had snails for starter and the combination of textures and tastes was perfectly balanced

🍽 Service was efficient and fast, and the waiter gave us good advice

💳 Price: the lunch menu (we'd to friday) is very good value for money at only €24 for two courses and €31 for three.

Will go back: it's only 15 min drive from home.
