"we had the 5 course menu, 1 normal, 1 vegetarian. the vegetarian was good but not up to the standard we experienced in similar establishments and not on the level of the non-vegetarian. waiters also did not mention it. it was just a small part on the bottom of the menu. we felt that's also about the appreciation it got from the chef. in our opinion, if u offer a vegetarian menu, it must be on an equal level as the rest of the menu. it wasn't (seems as if les légumes alone just are not much of an inspiration to the chef which clearly reflected in the courses). it wasn't bad but from a 3 star restaurant I expect fireworks even without meat; especially if the theme is provénce. the normal 5 course menu was good but the overuse of grapefruit started to annoy me after the second time 4 or so slices were used on my dish as it was way too sour, clearly overshadowing the other flavors and the note of sour even persisted through the coursesafter the palette refreshener which also contained some lemon notes came the dessert (kind of lemon tart) which was so sour that we both could not finish it. it was like a punch in the face after such perfectly and tastefully balanced 4 previous courses that explored familiar and unfamiliar flavor profiles and combinations (on a deserved 3 star level in my opinion - even though I missed obvious associations to la provénce). the rest of the desserts (which seemed to make up of 30%+ of the overall food volume; no idea why such an emphasis on sweet/sour for just a 5 course meal) couldn't help and were clearly on a much lower level as the rest of the food which was very disappointing to us. also, to be honest, lemon notes belong more to Italy than to the provence (google oops I dropped the lemon tart). all in all a mixed experience which started strong and gradually worsened. A bite into a lemon or grapefruit would have given me a purer taste of la provence if i wanted to explore the perfect sour note. service was excellent, excited and friendly. wine pairing good."

I cannot fault this restaurant. It was exquisite beyond belief! The service, food and atmosphere was all absolutely incredible. I had the taster menu and it was just plate after plate of pure magic.

We had a fantastic evening at "La Vague d'Or" thank you very much! We were very well looked after all evening. Eventhough there were some imperfections we've experienced, there is no point to rate this Restaurant under 5 stars! Warm Regards

Chef Arnaud makes us travel through his dishes and transports me in an intense emotion. The dressage of his plates perfection, magnificent, unique, I have made many restaurants for me is the best Chef, I encourage him to continue making us dream with his divine dishes. Eva View menu

Contacted the hotel to enquire if they had a TV to watch the Monaco GP whilst we dined.... Restaurant were prepared to serve us in the Hotel's Bar but we decided to just have a snack for lunch and dine in the restaurant in the evening..... what a good decision that was!Meal was outstanding, Maitre-de's description was exactly as delivered, service was wonderful also..... would definitely return!**** expensive though!

Exquisitel, I could do a review full of superlatives, describing every nuance of a delightful menu, but that would spoil the surprise.Arnaud Donckele's menu is paired with a very professional front of house team. I loved the descriptive commentary that introduced each course.So how much is it going to cost you to play in this delicious golden wave?Dinner for two without going too mad on the alcohol will be less than the cost of four Michelin Latitude Sport 255/40 R21 Y (Fitted)Truly wonderful.

This is our second dinner at La Vague d'Or, we have stayed at the hotel twice and on this occasion we again had dinner at the hotel. We selected the summer tasting menu, full of lots of locally sourced fresh produce. My highly was the tomato course, but all were exceptional, the seafood and meat dishes were great. We also had the paired wine with our meal, their selections were just right. Service five star, venue five star, meal five star....we will return, thank you Chef Arnaud and team (Manou offered excellent service, as always!).

We came here again to celebrate my wife's birthday. We started with a cocktail at the pool and a beautiful sunset. After that Thierry (if you already been there – you will know – wonderful guy) took to our table and we enjoyed the fantastic menu with all of Arnaud's signatures dishes. As usual we had a wonderful time enjoying this great restaurant and location. I ordered also Arnaud's cook book for my wife and they gently put next to me while distracting my wife. You guys rock! There are no negative points which I could mention, well maybe just one – after the 4th time a waiter asking us if it is our first time, we do felt a bit inquiring about that 

"It was the best of meals, The second, not so much. On the Wednesday evening we explained that we needed one gluten free meal. We were immediately handed over to a charming lady, who we took to be the proprietor. She assured us that she would confer with the chef. We ordered a “coquelet roti” with a cream and grape sauce and a fillet steak served without sauces. Chips were covered in gluten but the chef proposed a salad for the steak and the “coquelet” came with a Gratin Dauphinoise. All the food was delicious. The chicken was soft and sweet the sauce had a depth of flavour aided and abeted by the small bursts of sweet grape juice from the grapes within it. The steak was perfect; maximum of flavour from the seared outside, maximum of soft juiciness from the tender pink interior. Dessert was a fruit crumble that had not had the crumble added, pronounced delicious, and a crème broulee. The crème was not a traditional baked vanilla egg custard. It tasted like a flour based preparation and was devoid of vanilla. All in all, the service had been attentive and the food mostly great. We determined that we would return for a second meal and looked forward to it.Mistake! Sunday evening, the waitress remembered us, and promised to check for gluten free food. She checked the Champaign sauce that was served with the Salmon. We could not have it. She was not aware that the rice, the dauphinoise and the chips all contained gluten. She suggested salad. We said that would be fine. The Dorade Royale, one of my favourite fish was sold out but they could offer Sea Bass. O.K., that would do. The salad delivered with the dry salmon was a simple bag mix of leaves, not the fresh mixed salad it had been four days before. It had brown stalks and tasted stale. The fish was undoubtedly the worst cooked fish I have ever been served. It had clearly been laid on a metal tray and placed under an electric grill. It had not been turned or moved until it was served. Consequently, the top skin was like leather. It defied my efforts with the serrated knife provided to cut through it. I had to prize it off to get to the very dry fish beneath. A simple glaze of oil would have ensured that the skin became crispy and a delicious part of the fish. It would also have ensured that the (Chef?) remembered to turn the fish under the grill. When I turned the fish on the plate, the lower side skin was a soggy mess where all the juices had soaked it through. Scraping it off, the second fillet was edible, despite the attentions of the chef. We told the waitress what was wrong with our food. She said she would tell the chef. We don’t know if she did. We did not see him."
