Aigue Marine - Saint-Laurent-du-Var

I have been staying in a hotel in atoll beach for 2 weeks for business and, therefore, I have eaten in almost every restaurant on the waterfront.

My husband and I had dinner here while spending a night at an airport hotel for a flight from Nice Airport home in mid July. We both had fish for main course with a good bottle of wine and both plates were superb.Service was outstanding.

We took friends for Sunday lunch. I've been to Aigue Marine at least 20 times, and this is my third review. I cannot fault this restaurant. Wonderful friendly staff, excellent cuisine, imaginative French menus (English translation available). Very strong on fish, but carnivores can get excellent steak. Oysters always prepared very nicely. Fantastic location with lovely views of the sea front. Parking is easy (but be prepared to pay in the peak season). Excellent wine list at modest prices (less expensive than Nice anyway). Reservations recommended. Most of those taking lunch today were regulars and locals. There were few tourists.

We were back yesterday for a fabulous New Year Day lunch. Four courses, with choices of course. Restaurant packed with locals, family groups, making a great atmosphere. The food offer is outstanding and the prices reasonable for what you get. This is a restaurant in which to celebrate being on the Cote d'Azur. We've already booked for Easter Sunday 2012!

I have been to this restaurant several times. They have a good menu for 27 euros including appetizer, entree and dessert. It has good selections. I also like the service and the attention.
