Maison Martin et Fils

While passing through Menton, we decided to eat there, the weather was gorgeous so we wanted to eat outside. After checking the reviews of all the restaurants which had an outside sitting area, around le Marché des Halles, we ended up going to Maison Martin et fils (right behind le marché des Halles), because the reviews were so much better. The only outside sitting area is very small and it seems to be more for people having a drink. We ate in, very charming decor, the very friendly owners sat us at our table and explained the different menu options as well as the plat du jour. Delicious regional olives were served with the apéritif. All French produce, regional dishes and wines (being that...

We were four and somewhat late but our table was still there and as requested. Since we booked on the internet we had a twenty percent discount, not bad. First drinks, then oysters and Petit Chablis, the fourth passanger has squash doughnuts. Fresh oysters, crispy doughnuts, fish bread. Then three of us had lamb chops, we were advised a local red, very good advice at that, two were happy but the thirds not, that particular lamb consisted only of fat. They had ran out of lamb so they would take of the order from the bill but no alternative was offered and no excuses. The coffee was excellent and served with a little sesame seed cookie, my wife had a creme brule the size of a kitchen zink but...

Here's what we tried:- - Niçois speciality of stuffed vegetables : Tomatoes, courgette and aubergines - Mixed Seafood main course : Fritto miso, grilled squid in pesto sauce, smoked salmon - Montagnard burger - Andouillette - Desserts : Tarte au citron and Île flottant We really cannot fault the food, everything was delicious and portions were quite generous. Their desserts are really good - don't finish your meal without having a dessert, especially when you're in France! :) Service wasn't great - they were full house which is a great sign for a restaurant however it's no excuse making us wait more than 45 minutes for main course, and seeing other tables that arrived later being served firs...

We were happy to get a table without a reservation as the restaurant was very busy. We each had a three-course offering. The appetizers were okay--onion tart or tomato/onion are the ones we chose. The entrees were off the charts! I thoroughly enjoyed by truffle ravioli, and my husband's pasta with chunks of perfectly cooked stewed beef were very good. My chocolate moelleux dessert was fantastic. And my husband's cafe gourmand featured 4 of their best desserts plus espresso. The local wine was also quite good. Reserva una mesa ahora

Our waiter was having a bad day. He forgot my wine and my wife's dessert, and he dropped a bottle of olive oil. Nevertheless, I liked him. He was friendly and energetic. I guess he had to be energetic to clean up the broken glass and olive oil all over the floor. The food was good and reasonably priced, and the environs were pleasant. If we had been in Menton a few more days, we probably would have gone back. The place was recommended by the concierge at our hotel.

The place is ok if you are looking for cheap lunch deal. They have a menu for as little as 15 euros and you get 2 dishes for this: either salad and main or main and dessert. Price wise unbeatable for Menton. Food is ok. Service could be better. The restaurant is certainly loved and frequented by older people. Not great not bad but if you want a decent lunch for little money, go for it.

We ate dinner at Maison Martin et Flis by using TripAdvisor. The food was good and relatively tasty and the service and atmosphere were nice. The few waiters are trying to keep up the many tables but they've no chance. But that all we can say about this restaurant. Relatively it is an average restaurant but maybe in Menton its above average.

Food was good and reasonably priced. The waiters were a little overstretched so don't go if you're in a hurry. However a great ambience and very friendly. We had a great night out. Richard & Jackie and family Reserva una mesa ahora

Staff were attentive and we were very well looked after. The food was great and the burgers were the star of the show.

Good food and friendly service, however nothing super special. Reasonably priced. Somewhat dated decor.
