 TRimer Says:  A very friendly place in the heart of the picturesque village of Mougins. We picked it because it had the shortest wait for a table upstairs for lunch. The food was wonderful. 

 ncoutroulis Says:  On the main street in Mougins, this little joint is very cozy, and has great food. The place looks almost like a book store, with books all over the walls, as well as classical records. It has a very homey feel to it. Well worth the trip to Mougins.
