Chateau Eza Mini-Review

So en route to Monaco we visited Chateau Eza in the Village of Eze for lunch. The restaurant/hotel is the former residence of a Swedish prince. After changing our minds countless times on whether we should visit or not due to the torrential downpours, we decided to go for it. Little did we realize that the Chateau is at the top of a hill that you must actually walk up, including the slippery cobble stone steps and pathways. To add to this disaster, the water runs directly down the center of the pathways making the walk like a day at the splashpad. After finally reaching the summit we were not disappointed, except by perhaps the sunless view. The food was fantastic, the presentation amazing, and the service perfect. Julie ordered a la carte opting for a salad and her general safe option, chicken (see photo). I opted for the fixed menu consisting of a pumpkin soup, calamari + lasagna noodles + veggies and some crazy dessert (see photo). Everything was great. We were even the last guests to leave the lunch service and were able to go out on the terrace since the rain had subsided (see photo). The Village of Eze is beautiful and there's another great hotel/restaurant called Chateau de la Chevre D'or if you're looking to spend some serious money (two Bentleys and Mercedes SLR were in the parking lot).
