"I went to the vecchio forno restaurant on the first night of my arrival at chin in September 2016. the pleasant location, with view to the port, the restaurant mainly designed for the summer had a veranda covered on the sidewalk, and was the only restaurant in this neighborhood with a queue outside. So I'm in! I was warmly welcomed and as I speak Italian everything was easy and pleasant! I had "pece spade affumicato" smoked fish with rocket, a large plate, juicy fish very tasty. Then come the spaghetti with mushrooms, once again a huge portion, neither too cooked nor very al dente, excellent. the wine of the house was dissenting, the whole atmosphere was fun, a little too many people but I left with the idea of good honest food. I'll go back when I'm chin!"

here, you have to be when it opens in the evening, 7:30, or to order tables. they have a varied menu with different dishes but I recommend their pizzas. It's not a place where you eat quiet because everyone speaks loud but the atmosphere is at its peak. the place is full of Italians who come to eat pizzas.

It's an excellent Italian chin restaurant. They make delicious Italian pizzas, generous servings, very good ice cream. service is efficient and its price is reasonable. it is open only in the evening and as it is popular, you have to book a table or you will have to wait. It's one of our favorite chin restaurants.

I chose this restaurant according to the opinions of tripadvisor. We were not disappointed. we were talking little French and our waitress spoke little English but everything went very well. We had clams and mussels, as well as pizza and a little red wine. We spent a fantastic moment and our waitress should get five stars. The food was excellent. View menu

We ate pizzas to take away here several times in the last few years during our chin visit, so I can't talk to sit in the restaurant. pizzas are always super tasty and there are many options for fillings. the price is good, most seem to be from 9 to 12 €, which is a good value for money. recommended if you like pizza. In summer it's good to get out a pizza to take away and go sit on the beach to eat it!

We were told this place had the best pizzas all the time! we had reserved, so we had not to join the queue. we were sitting on the terrace outside but against the wall. The heat was unbearable because the roof was in place. the service was just correct and the pizzas were average. I agree with a previous comment that they don't have to try. The crowds outside were waiting, so it was like a treadmill. Very disappointed.

"So I'm not a restaurant contributor although I'm a big fan of the good food and the pleasure of a good meal. I booked this restaurant because it's number 4 in the world's top 50. As you can imagine, I had great expectations. From the very beginning, the restaurant has not enough parking space compared to the number of tables so it was a break to park my car. No valet service either. the dining room has a beautiful view of chin but a very simple decoration and the chairs at the beginning were good but at the end of the meal I had a huge buttache, literally. the chef offers 3 types of menus. the smallest has 6 courses and starts at 110€. at the bottom of each menu, the chef offers the wines to drink with. I chose the smallest (110€) and the employee asked me if I wanted to follow the wine suggestion. I agreed, so it went with the meal. First of all, food wasn't that good. Very simple. Nothing we can expect from a 2 star restaurant michelin! the wines I knew are medium in any supermarket. The service was good but for twice they missed the silverware. At the end of the meal, one of the employees asked me if I wanted to try cheese before dessert. it is not included in the menu price, but no prices were said and nowhere you could read it. We ate a great small portion of cheese. two small pieces of cheese that a 4-year-old could eat in a minute to new york. Here's the check. 500€!!! cheese cost for two, 38€, the wine I hoped to be the wine suggested in my menu of 110€ and which had the price of 45€ was billed and served the wine of the most expensive menu (210€) to 90€ per person. Nobody asked us if we really wanted the most expensive wine list. It was really a disappointment. a waste of time and money because it was not a meal to remember even taken the price factor!"

"When in a tourist town, one always becomes suspicious of the quality of their restaurants! Da Mitchou is situated between the road and the beach, and it really is a gorgeous place to sit and enjoy the view! As usual we went out for dinner with a list of restaurant names with a good score from Tripadvisor. Some were empty, some closed, but Da Mitchoulooked very inviting. We were early for dinner, so asked if we could come in for a pre dinner drink. We were seated at the very last table available out on almost the side of the restaurant in front of the showers. We ordered our delicious favourite french drink, a Pastis on ice. They also brought us some complimentary pizza bread which was yummy. When we asked if we cluld atay for dinner, we were told we could stay at our 'bar' table, as the restaurant was full. In the meantime we had struck a conversation with Chris, one of their waiters whom had spent some time in Australia, and we started having fun with his memories! His English was perfect, and we were made to feel very welcome. We weren't terribly hungry, being on the road for ten weeks, constricts your eating habits somewhat, unless you wish to grow more than your clothes allow! So we both lrdered a salad with a serve of fries on the side, a glass of Cote du Rhône, and we were extremely happy! Chris continued to entertain us throughout our dinner, and we left feeling very content."

"the location was attractive. a small picturesque square slightly in draw with a foliage and Mediterranean charm. the restaurant had an outdoor terrace but we decided to eat inside. rustic decoration well maintained. abundance of natural stones and plaster walls of rustic color, nice vaulted type ceiling and terracotta tile floor. We loved him. the kitchen was visible on the path of the toilet and everything seemed chief, busy and good omen. Unfortunately, it's the end of the good news. My wife chose to start with the anchovies leaf and I am the raw ham. The anchovie was not good. Very strange flavor. Too salty. hard dough background. My ham was cut too thick, making the meal difficult. I had to ask for olive oil and gem salt. certainly not the best ham I've had. no comparison with parma or iberico. disappointing. the main dishes were the fish pot and the spaghetti with ceps. Both were a disaster. The fish were cut off. filled with small but important bones. the two rather sad gambas were small and boiled to death. the portion of fish and the quality at the price were bad. Maybe the bisque was swept. The pasta was not good and we left them. we paid 72 euros for this and a very small glass of medium wine and a bottle of flat water. I think chin food is usually not good. French are rather complacent and seem to believe that their historical reputation is enough. Not if. the area is very frequented by tourists and I guess most are unlikely to return to the area, so they think they can get away with it. It's a shame and I couldn't recommend this restaurant. we visit the family regularly to chin, so we would like to find a decent restaurant at a reasonable price. even our family seems to have a bad time. Why? It's the france."
