La Baleine Joyeuse

Nice place. Restaurant simple but of quality. Several affordable daily dishes. The boss is in good mood and coming. Quick service. The setting of the port of the Darse does not lack charm. A good idea for a meal, a kf or a simple sandwich.

Excellent improvised meal I didn't know. Very fresh, very simple and very good at all for a nice price. Rare on the French Riviera. Bravo.

Excellent small restaurant or food is very fresh and tasty. Super pleasant frame without being pretentious. Charming service, and tuna tartar with the mango I still remember the freshness. Much less prout prout than his neighbor "La corderie" who is very good as well but more expensive and compassed. It is with pleasure that we meet with an Italian friend who enjoyed coffee what is rare on his part; I will come back with great pleasure just for the very light clapotis of the dock and the very relaxed atmosphere, but also, once again, for the tuna, the excellent fries. and the kindness of people.

The joyous whale has recently changed its owner and unfortunately the new team has not been able to keep the warm and warm atmosphere of the place. The fault mainly at the reception from now on cold. The waiter manager behind the bar is antipathic, badly polite and doesn't look so happy to be there. Fortunately, the other employees (some were there before the change in ownership) are always welcoming. I preferred by far the joyous whale when it was a snack bar without pretentious. Much more charming and atypical than today. Instead of bringing mariners to your employees ask their already to be kind with the clientele.... We need to Villefranche places like the joyous, simple and welcoming whale, neither dear nor guinded. I hope my comment will be read and the new team will do everything possible to keep the soul of this wonderful little snack restaurant.

Excellent cuisine, servings a little cheek but with regard to the very reasonable price it is understanding.
