"My wife and I ate at this 1* Michelin restaurant on the edge of Grasse in Maganos last night, and it is by far the best new discovery in the Côte d’Azur we have come across this summer. The restaurant is family owned and operated, featuring Sébastien Giraud as the head chef and his wife Madame Giraud as the maître d’. The location offers a beautiful view down through the valley of Grasse, and it is relatively quiet even though it is on a main artery into Grasse from the east. There are only 15 or so covers, and this – in my opinion – is a benefit to patrons both in terms of quality of food and service. The food was absolutely excellent. It is not fussy per se, but features local seasonal ingredients, which is obvious from the first dish. It is creative as well, but not in a way that gets in the way of the taste of the food. On offer is either a 3- or 4-course dinner, at prices of €39 and €55. For quality of the experience, this is outstanding value. Wines are readily available by the bottle or glass, with the latter offerings well-matched with the food and not “over-the-top” expensive. I had fresh tomato and crabmeat starter, followed by the turbot, then a smoked chicken in a lovely broth, and a marvellous finisher, opting for cheese rather than desert. The cheese was special, in that it was a creamy and rather light cheese mousse with summer truffles. All dishes are modest in size and prepared with seasonal (and locally-sourced) ingredients, garnished in a way that makes the flavours come to life. Nothing about the food was disappointing! The service was also excellent, with Mdm Giraud assisted by her very capable son in serving diners. Both French and English are spoken. There is no air at all about this place, which is casual and inviting. With outstanding food, excellent service, a pleasant ambience, and good value, Au Fil du Temp is one of the best finds in this region I have come across in some time, and I highly recommend it."

"In my Englishness I decided to take my family here out of homesickness, this restaurant brought us a whole other kind of sickness. Even being from the land of questionable kebab meats, I feel entitled to write about this devastating establishment, tested the waters with 4 poppadoms, this analogy doesn’t fit the quality as I was greeted with a plate of poppadoms dryer than the footwear of Mahatma Ghandi himself, tryed picking one up and was left with a big hole in the thing and dusty fingers, not for the first time tonight, as I had previously picked up the dust coated glass to pour out beer that was about as warm as my sisters vindaloo. As for my food (a prawn tikka masala) which came out pleasingly/alarmingly fast! However served with a smile? Absolutely not outcome the so called waitress with a face of discust, which is completely acceptable if she had spent the previous minutes in the kitchen. However the curry was something that I wouldn’t feed to my dog, and I’m sure a homeless wouldn’t leap at the offer, tried to eat as much as possible and I am impressed with 2 forkfulls swallowed before joining my families queue to the toilet to vomit before salmonella kicks in, this isn’t an exaggeration although the owner didn’t have to question the sudden popularity of his toilet facility, because atleast the bog water was probably an acceptable drinking temperature. Long and short of it, I payed the bill and evacuated, never to return under any circumstances, what a terrible restaurant!"
