Villa9Trois
This 19C villa, whose grounds are home to a herb garden and beehives, is the HQ of a provençal chef who signs a vibrant Mediterranean score. On the menu: subtly smoked red Mediterranean tuna on a bed of Paimpol beans, jazzed up with basil-pistou-inspired ravigote sauce, followed by pearlescent scallops paired with a green anise-spiked stock of small grey crabs and a bourride, finishing with a fig served with hazelnuts and tonka bean. A well-curated wine list, some vintages of which come in magnums and jeroboams. Bouncy, on-the-ball wait staff and a pleasant fine weather terrace.
TripAdvisor review sample · 4.1/5 · 100 reviews
Located in central Montreuil, Villa9Trois features a serene garden terrace and refined retro interior with well-spaced tables. The modern cuisine offers multi-course tasting menus and lunch options, with traditional dishes like crab with anise broth praised for their finesse and creativity. Service is generally professional, particularly from the sommelier, though some guests report pacing issues, delayed service, or lukewarm main courses. Value perceptions vary significantly; while some find the experience worth the cost, others consider it overpriced relative to standards, with long-time patrons noting recent declines in consistency and professionalism.
Suitable for diners seeking refined modern cuisine and a tranquil atmosphere, with advance confirmation of menu availability and service details recommended.
