Maison Martin et Fils - Menton

We ate dinner at Maison Martin et Flis by using TripAdvisor. The food was good and relatively tasty and the service and atmosphere were nice. The few waiters are trying to keep up the many tables but they've no chance. But that all we can say about this restaurant. Relatively it is an average restaurant but maybe in Menton its above average.

We were four and somewhat late but our table was still there and as requested. Since we booked on the internet we had a twenty percent discount, not bad. First drinks, then oysters and Petit Chablis, the fourth passanger has squash doughnuts. Fresh oysters, crispy doughnuts, fish bread. Then three of us had lamb chops, we were advised a local red, very good advice at that, two were happy but the thirds not, that particular lamb consisted only of fat. They had ran out of lamb so they would take of the order from the bill but no alternative was offered and no excuses. The coffee was excellent and served with a little sesame seed cookie, my wife had a creme brule the size of a kitchen zink but not very tasty in her view. Limoncello was offered and accepted. Service was friendly and helpful. Toilets with no fult but instead some nice details, an armchair and a shoe polish machine, an attention to detail.The location is one of the best opposite the old town food hall.I want to go back but my wife was turned off by the relatively long wait and the oversized dessert. As you see from my note I am still confident that I was more right in my positive judgement. And yes, the regional specialities is a big plus as well.

Food was good and reasonably priced. The waiters were a little overstretched so don't go if you're in a hurry. However a great ambience and very friendly. We had a great night out. Richard & Jackie and family

Good food and friendly service, however nothing super special. Reasonably priced. Somewhat dated decor.

Staff were attentive and we were very well looked after. The food was great and the burgers were the star of the show.
