Les Dilettants
Formerly a salesman for a leading pétanque brand, Thomas Filiaggi changed direction at the age of 30 to satisfy his love of cooking. He proposes an individual cuisine, largely based on fresh vegetables and aromatic herbs from his garden. A gem!
TripAdvisor review sample · 4.5/5 · 80 reviews
Les Dilettants in Vallauris offers modern cuisine focused on local ingredients. Reviews frequently praise high food quality, noting original flavors, fresh herbs, and elegant presentations with sufficient portions. The ambiance features a charming garden and shaded terrace, though some guests report noise from the adjacent Chemin St Bernard. Service is generally described as friendly and professional, but isolated complaints cite cold or impersonal attitudes. Value perceptions vary; while many find the experience affordable and rewarding, negative reviews criticize restrictive menu options, such as forced sharing of main courses, and occasional insufficient portions, which detract from the overall dining experience.
Suitable for diners seeking creative local flavors who can tolerate minor ambient noise.
