La Coquille d'Or used to be our favorite seafood restaurant in Menton. It has recently been sold and unfortunately, the Chief is gone too. The result is very disappointing, to say the least: "La Coquille d'Or" has lost its splendor. If the menu has not changed (nor the prices, quite high for Menton), the quality is not to the level....

The sea bass was out of this world, friendly staff. Fresh seafood. Good location. Great oysters, fish soup. We ate there three times because we enjoyed it so much.

Quite simply the best seafood we ate on our recent 10 day trip to the Côte d'Azur. We opted for the mixed grilled fish but the bouillabaisse looked very nice also. Paid approx 100 euros for two (2 starters, 2 mains, 1 bottle of wine and a large bottle of Evian)

maybe my expectations were too high... I've had some truly amazing meals in France over the years ... my recent meal was very very average .. Salad Niciose was actually very good , about 8/10 ... the Pomme Frites & fried squid for my kids were average at best ... my main course of "fresh fish", potatoes that that has... More

Our party of 7 had a wonderful meal with a bottle or two of Gavi. Bouillabaisse as it should be - really excellent. Friendly and efficient service with food this good means we will be back!

We got here for the day after easter, at lunch, with my wife and my family, including our very little daughter. And we were happy of what we had. My fish baked in the sea salt was very very good. Ok, maybe it's not the cheapest choice in Menton. But this place has a merit: the cooking do not fail.... More

We had the best Sole Meuniere we have ever had and the dishes we saw other people eating looked equally good. Good service and not too expensive.

Simply amazing! Service really good and fish really fresh and well cooked. I go there quite often and always happy about it. Little overpriced.

Dined at La Coquille d'Or when recommended by our hotel. By 8:00 on a weekday, the restaurant was filled by a mix of tourists, most were Italian. We sat outside. Seafood was fresh and the prices reasonable. Would dine here again.

Great seafood dinner, very fresh and tasty. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a great value dinner. We had the calamari and grilled sea bass and both were amazing. Neither of us spoke French and the owner was also very helpful as he spoke very good english and assisted us with ordering.
