Beautifully located on one of the docks of the port of the dock in Villefranche-sur-Mer, this small outdoor restaurant has nothing of a gargote, don't be mistaken! its reduced card is gage of freshness, and simplicity rhyme here with regularity. reception and service are discreet and pleasant. and as the notice is rightly stated above, it is reluctant to recommend this establishment for fear that it will lose its serenity framework. you have to have made the nice road on foot by the coastline (for 2 hours, but it's beautiful), then bathed on the small protected beach that offers a unique view of the cityfranche rade, before finally to be fixed next to the boats to the anchor to realize the u...
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.

We need to Villefranche places like the joyous, simple and welcoming wh...
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.

after a late evening bath at the beach of townfranche, it is very pleasant to restore to the happy whale. in simplicity, the kitchen is of quality. The affluence is such, that it is necessary to wait for a table to be released to have one. Indeed, they do not take a reservation.55€ for 3 aperitives, 3 meats and 2 enjoyoles. reasonable! Even if the server is overflowed, it remains pleasant! attention! He doesn't take the blue card!

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.
good meal, the view of the port was nice especially in the evening. The servers were very nice. Thanks for that meal I think we'll be back with family. Good continuation.
