Capitaine Cook - Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat

Don't miss the opportunity to eat here. we have come for many years after st jean and have never tried this special restaurant until last night. we will return at every opportunity. what makes it so special is the simple format., 'old school' gentle type of owner (you man is in the kitchen that shows incredible skills.) I had the daurade that was simply the best fresh fish I tasted. my partner had fish soup and that was just as good. start page made chocolate cake and sorbet of sicily only divine. this is not a flash place that makes it so wonderful and yet can eat up to one of the glamorous riviera restaurants. some critics have said that it is stuck in the 1970s, but this is part of the charm that is the world full of restaurants that try too hard. this place does not need to eat and friendly owners do the conversation. not one you need to miss, but you need to book.

This is a nice place and the food was really good. . one of the best places we have visite during many stays in france. The price was fair for the quality. We very much enjoyed the calm and traditionel way the setting was...arranged. The food was well cooked and the waiter was really great. Go to this restaurant to taste the real france. We will for sure come back .

A first rate dining experience the freshest fish and seafood imaginable in a delectable soup, and the fried sardines were also out of this world . Top it off with strawberry soup and vanilla ice cream for dessert! My partner raved about it for...the rest of the trip. In terms of atmosphere there is a simple elegance that reminds you of times past , and the waiters , one of whom is the owner and chef’s wife , have that special southern French refined manner. I can’t wait to go back. It was one of the highlights of our entire trip.

The most superb sea bream I have ever had the pleasure of tasting. Caught fresh that day. Beautifully cooked by chef/owner Lionel And the sauces are divine. Starter of avocado and prawn was equally stunning. Highly recommended. The boss/owner/wife Nellie is just sensational.

Visited today for lunch I had the sea bream grilled been coming here years and it is still as wonderful as ever the best fish you will ever taste the attention to detail wonderful the homemade marque was a delight it’s a must for anyone...to busted well done to the chef and maitre de wel will be back soon
