MERLE JEAN

Modern French cuisine with a creative twist. The whole atmosphere has its own charm. It’s a small restaurant with a small menu and few staff, but everything runs smoothly. They clearly know what they’re doing and take pride in it. Excellent wine selection too. Highly recommend this place. Thank you to the team 😊

I would give this restaurant 6 stars if I could! Wonderful dining experience for our only dinner in Antibes. The staff and owners are extremely friendly and really make you feel at home at their establishment. Every interaction was a delight and the food is delicious! I highly recon this place for anyone visiting Antibes or France for that matter. I will be back anytime after m in the vicinity. Thanks again for the wonderful experience!

Absolute great experience with Restaurant Le J, the owner was super friendly and patiently explained the whole menu in English. The menu was designed based on the fresh ingredients they get on the day and was presented in a creative way. The main courses (especially the prawn dish) had multiple layers of flavours and textures that worked out well. The dessert was a bomb and a must try! The caramelised hazelnuts on top was a highlight. It is relatively pricy but it matches with the quality you get. Overall it’s very worth it!

Hands down - the best meal I have had in France! The food was incredible, staff was very friendly and the ambiance was perfection! HIGHLY Recommend the Spanish Pork w/ Chorizo Polenta!

Restaurant Le J is an is a delightful intimate restaurant, Thomas (owner/chef) serves up the freshest seasonal menu that tastes great and looks amazing. Sabrina (owner/front of house), always provides a very warm friendly welcome and takes you through a delightful dining experience. Highly recommended.

We stumbled upon Restaurant Le J and loved it! Everything was well prepared, and tasted delicious. The steak tartare is the best I’ve had in my time France. It was served with a toasted brioche and a mushroom mousse that individually tasted amazing and all together made a perfect bite. We also enjoyed the tomato salad and zucchini blossom beignets.

Such lovely staff. The food was actually incredible, and I didn’t have the highest of expectations given its location. My lamb was fall-apart-tender and lean. My partner loved his veal. Thought it was very well cooked. The best part of the meal was the new banoffee dessert. Omg! Creamy, caramel custard, banana, a peanut butter layer, yogurt(?) gelato on top? Maybe my favorite dessert of the trip.

This restaurant seems to be a gem on a touristy trap food street more like a bistro. Everything I tried was tasty. The host was extraordinary.
