One of if not the best restaurants in Villefranche, especially during the off-season! Order the Tuna (fished from Villefranche) and Crème Brûlée!

Malgré notre retard nous avons été très bien reçu par un magnifique sourire dans un très beau cadre. Une cuisine incroyable, un moment magique à refaire ! Un conseil, le nemesis au chocolat.

Cozy sit down place. They have their own take on the items. Im forgetting exactly the names of the dishes we tried. Everything was good and made fresh. I gave a 4 star instead of 5 because one of the dishes couldve used a little more seasoning. Nothing major but good food overall. Creme burlee is also very tasty.

Verdiente fünf Sterne! Die Terrasse ist zauberhaft. Die Dame im Service war extrem freundlich, mit Charme und Witz. Tolle Weinempfehlung und absolut ausgezeichnetes Essen. Immer etwas besonderes.

The fish dishes were amazing, the staff very friendly and the atmosphere excellent!

On the negative side our dishes didn’t come until 1h and 30mins after we sat so we were literally starving watching the neighbour tables eating. The foie gras crème brûlée entrée was a very reimagined version that tasted very sweet (it was even served with a sweet brioche) and was very far from foie grad so we were feeling like eating a dessert for starters which was quite strange. The peach ice cream in the end was the sweetest ice cream I have ever eaten so I ate just one spoon and left it there.

Overall a very good experience but with some room for improvement given the high end price.

Tutto perfetto! Bravissime le ragazze nel servizio, cibo fresco e cucinato bene. I dettagli fanno la differenza: dall' amouse Bouche alla piccola pasticceria che accompagna il caffè, alla rosa fresa sul tavolo. Bravi!

I very highly recommend this restaurant.

We took the duck and the cod for dinner.

Both tasted great, the price was right and the service was good too… a combination that is very difficult to find in highly touristic small coastal towns, specifically when the restaurant is not owned by the chef. The vichyssoise brought first was delicious as well.

We didn’t have to wait long for our dishes to come.

It is situated in one of the narrow pedestrian old town streets and is almost hidden from the beaten path. It is definitely a destination and is worth the climb!

Most of the tables are outside. At night the multitude of small lights outside contribute to the beauty and quaintness. We sat inside. It is a very old (~200 years) traditional building with high ceilings, painted in white and wooden beams beautifully renovated. One wonders how the restaurant managed to set up its tables so beautifully outside in such narrow and sloppy streets.

The facilities were clean and surprisingly spacious for such an old building.

There are no dedicated parking (narrow pedestrian roads in the old town duh!). The public parkings around were all full. The vichyssoise brought first was delicious as well. We struggled to find one at around 9PM. We went around the same loop three times before ending up parking illegally in the street !

Second time I had my dinner at this restaurant this week.
A place where you just wanna come back!
The service is highest level you can imagine with the loveliest and funniest staff. A lot of smile, fun and laughter making the atmosphere relaxed and sublime. You just feel at home here!
Candle lights and roses at the tables.
The food (I had both starter, main course and dessert) and the wine was simply top notch and at very reasonable prices.
I will definitely be back and my warmest recommendations go to this place! ????????????????????

The best place in town! Just amazing!

This was the best of three restaurants we ate at in Villefranche, a real gem! The food is truly gourmet, we had three courses and everything was delicious. The presentation and table service is also excellent, professional but not overly formal. The location is also great, a quiet corner steps from a medieval church - eating down by the dock you have cars and tourists constantly walking behind your chair. Lounging outside at La Belle Etoile after a fine meal on a July evening was our best experience in Provence!

We just dropped in for a glass of wine on the way back to our hotel. The waitress was really good. Nice wine and fabulous location. We'll be back in a day or two. We had food elsewhere earlier. We love Villefranche Sur Mer.

Locale curato con atmosfera, ottime le portate a base di pesce.
Personale molto cordiale che è riuscito a spiegarci le tipologie di pescato del giorno.
All'arrivo ci è stato dato un antipastino in omaggio.
Vini molto buoni

There are a few must-visit restaurants in the vieille-ville of Villfranche-sur-mer, and La Belle Etoile is one of them. It feels a bit indulgent yet at the same time relaxed and friendly. Do give it a try.
