L'eSCentiel - Menu

Great little restaurant. Small, but great to have market fresh food. Good value. Excellent food. Dog friendly. Friendly and attentive service.

Here is a good address for beautiful places, with a very interesting value for money (formal lunch to 19 euros). merlu back in main dish and fig pie in dessert. very smiling team, a real pleasure!

I visit l'Essentiel again and again. The food and the service is excellent. But reserve a table because the restaurant is very small. I give credit to the friendly cook every time and look forward to the next visit.

everything is there! Creative leader, who moves to the table and cares about the appreciation of his clients (so long), reception, service, kitchen, price a real without fault! Go to the eyes closed it is a feast of fresh products cooked and served with love! Anyway, it's a trade! Bravo.

delicious "family" restaurant once the barrier is crossed with the owners you will discover an authentic, delicious and very good restaurant! It's all done at home. It's the secret. refined, fresh and very good dishes! prices a little high but in the French standards of the region! Come back!

After reading the reviews on this site, we tested this restaurant. the kitchen is pretty good and the friendly welcome. On the other hand, the portions are not very large, and we did not at all enjoy paying the water carafes 4 € one, total of 12 € because we took three of them, although we also took a bottle of wine. At least we should warn that tap water is billed! It's abuse!

coming out of the villa kerylos, my father and I, are headed to the port of beaulieu to recover. We went in front of this restaurant that asked me about the small amount of dishes, good quality gage.We finally opted for lunch with the escent, we were not disappointed. The dishes, the flavors, the quality, the price were up to our expectations, thank you to the chef! for only 19 euros from Monday to Friday noon, you have a flat menu and dessert to choose from the menu. You will not be disappointed the welcome was warm and friendly. We even sympathized with the big table just behind us.We will return without hesitation thank you

Over many years L'escentiel has been the restaurant I have most recommended to visitors not up for a grand-hotel feast. The chef is a true local whose training brought his methods & skills are put to excellent use in this tiny (RESERVE!!!) on the Basse Corniche en route to Monaco or Nice. Last night I lingered over his brilliant, and first of the year!, soupe au pistou --every ingredient fresh, hand chopped, blended, basil, coco beans, basilico, and mystery sweetnesss that my dinner companions ordered me to finish up because they wanted the next course. He serves the soupe au pistou hot or cold; cold brought out flavours I did not expect. Menu on chalkboard inside; there's always Serrano ham...

We enjoyed our dinner here. As reviewers have said the restaurant is small, with some tables inside and some outside. It was full but not uncomfortably so and the small (Seemingly only the Chef and Maitre'D!) team managed perfectly. There is something honest about a chef who is involved in everything from setting tables, clearing, serving as well as cooking. The menu is only in French but they do a fine job of communicating the key ingredients, although there is a little leap of faith in the finer details of how the dish will be presented unless you speak French (buts its France so fair enough).The menu is short - 3 or 4 starters, 3 main courses and maybe 5 or 6 desserts including cheese.
