Le restaurant Chez Paul

On THE way to THE north we had lunch at this not impressive looping place. The food was excellent, original, very French, and the way it was serves was very nice. Good place to stop.

Both my wife and I were passing through early evening . We were in need of something to eat and decided to stop here as this appeared to be the first village for miles driving from Nice. My wife who likes very plain food ordered an omlette which was cooked to perfection along with the meat dish that I ordered. Our regret is that we did not have time to stop for longer and relax and enjoy the very local French ambiance. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone which offers very good value for money along with excellent local cuisine.

Just returned from a day-trip to the river Var valley, canyons, mountains, and a picnic ‘en plein air’. On the way back we dropped at a small village Touet-sur-Var for a cup of coffee and a cigarette (not me, only my French friends, they had not yet adopted ‘elf and safety’ here). We stopped at the parking lot next to the Mayor’s office (I guess, anyway, there was a picture of their former mayor there), crossed the road and found ourselves at ‘Chez Paul’. Although the manager – I guess it was Didier Mayer, anyway, I got his card – advised that it is no cooler indoors that it is outdoors, and outdoors it was no less than + 30 C, we chose to come inside and at least avoid the noise from the traffic, everybody coming home after weekend.To say it wasn’t crowded would be an understatement, in fact, we were the only clients. Maybe it is busy in the mountain skiing season, but now very quiet.We ordered ice-cream and espresso; I chose mine coffee-flavoured, nicely decorated with chantilly. The coffee came with a glass of water.A very useful thing after such a trip is a functioning toilet. This one was even adapted for wheel-chairs, had a good paper supply, everything clean and tidy. The lock may be tricky, but the personnel will help you out.Note: they are closed on Wednesdays.

If you are on the road from Nice to Valberg, stop off at Chez Paul in Touet-sur-Var. Well sourced ingredients, Provençale specialities, properly cooked and well presented by welcoming staff. With reasonable prices this was a very pleasant experience

A very good and pleasant restaurant. Very good kitchen. Warm welcome. Besides, a lot of customers. They're accustomed and coming back. And also a very nice boss. A good address during our perigrination in the Alpes de Haute Provence
