Da Mitchou - Menton

When in a tourist town, one always becomes suspicious of the quality of their restaurants! Da Mitchou is situated between the road and the beach, and it really is a gorgeous place to sit and enjoy the view! As usual we went out for dinner with a list of restaurant names with a good score from Tripadvisor. Some were empty, some closed, but Da Mitchoulooked very inviting. We were early for dinner, so asked if we could come in for a pre dinner drink. We were seated at the very last table available out on almost the side of the restaurant in front of the showers. We ordered our delicious favourite french drink, a Pastis on ice. They also brought us some complimentary pizza bread which was yummy. When we asked if we cluld atay for dinner, we were told we could stay at our 'bar' table, as the restaurant was full. In the meantime we had struck a conversation with Chris, one of their waiters whom had spent some time in Australia, and we started having fun with his memories! His English was perfect, and we were made to feel very welcome. We weren't terribly hungry, being on the road for ten weeks, constricts your eating habits somewhat, unless you wish to grow more than your clothes allow! So we both lrdered a salad with a serve of fries on the side, a glass of Cote du Rhône, and we were extremely happy! Chris continued to entertain us throughout our dinner, and we left feeling very content.

We were looking for a mid afternon bite to eat and Chris (he is the one that looks like Russell Brand) at Da Mitchou said they only had small plates but he recommended that other restaurants are open continuously - we decided to look for a place with a full menu. Well, much t our disappointment, we were treated very poorly at La Dolce Vita with a waiter/barperson rolling his eyes when he brought the menu. it was truly an inconvenience for him!! We went back to Da Mitchou and ordered wine and Foie Gras-it was AMAZING!! Not only that but we were treated so well and Chris was always checking to make sure we were OK. This is the perfect place to spend a lazy warm afternoon in Menton. The owners make sure that they make everyone feel very welcome.

This is an amazing beach restaurant/bar with sunbeds right onto the beach. The family that run Da Mitchou are always very welcoming and it has a really friendly atmosphere.We've been here for the last 6 years or so during weekend breaks in Menton and it is always great to come to Da Mitchou.It's definitely worth booking at lunchtime - especially Saturdays and Sundays when a lot of locals come down with big family groups.The food is excellent - lots of Italian cuisine and they do amazing salads.Highly recommended!

Fun staff, fab food & amazing location on the beach! Large glasss of prosecco were very welcome! The staff are so friendly & welcming!

Delicious food and warm, caring service. So helpful and such fun people work here. Don't miss desserts and excellent paella.
