Le Bistrot de Sophie - Coursegoules

Sophie is cheerful, generous, hardworking and very good at what she does- provide delicious, abundant home cooked meals to the lucky people who find their way there. We were a group of eight who were very hungry after a long walk: Pate de Maison; Quiche de Courgettes (zucchini);Mushrooms Farci (stuffed); Vegetable Tempura (don't know what they are called), and a large green salad. Then for the main course Coq au vin with curried cream sauce, and Blanquette de Veau. We all shared- family style and everything was very very good.For dessert- a wonderful selection: Tarte au citron (dead ringer for lemon merengue pie but better); Tiramisou; Mousse au Chocolate; A Pear Tarte. Then she brought out her homemade Marc, Limoncello,and Genever Liquors. We all took a nap when we got back!

The only nighttime restaurant in this sleepy mountain-top village but the varied menu certainly makes it worth than one visit. Delicious local recipes on offer, but the more traditional burger is a must-have. Staggering mmountain views from the conservatory seating area at the rear. Highly recommend.

We are always surprised when, after winding along the back roads in France, we come upon charming little resto so like this one. It was as if they were waiting just for us, so pleasant was our reception. We can't say anything about the food on the menu, since it had been pretty much eaten up by the time we arrived, but what was on everyone's plates looked pretty good, and the place was crowded (we learned later that reservations are strongly suggested, especially for Sunday lunch). Our platter of thin slices of ham and local dark bread were very good, and we happily drank in the hospitality and mountain air. Believe me, Sophie's Bistro is worth a visit.

lovely lovely french food, home made platters, the meat was great and its good for sharing. the location of coursegoules is really very pretty. The best part about it is the home made puddings which are exquisite!!! Delicious red wine- probably as expected. Definitely worth a visit.

The set menu at lunch time is well priced and offers good choice. The food was lovely and the outdoor seating has a pleasant outlook.

We “ended” up in Coursegoules when driving along. Seeing “le bistrot de Sophie” was part of “Bistrot de pays”, I knew we could not be disappointed and we decided to have lunch there.We sat on the opposite side of the road to the restaurant, on the terrace overlooking the valley.The meal was absolutely delicious and everything was homemade. We had terrine and petits farcis, then lapin chasseur and roast beef.A very easy-going place too. For instance, they bring you the whole terrine in a dish and you help yourself.The quantities were generous and the waitress very pleasant.It was also cheap which did not spoil anything; 38.20 euros for the meals (which included the desserts), one coke and two coffees.I definitely recommend the place.

We visit Sophie's every time we are in the Nice/France area. It is well worth going out of your way to appreciate a warm simplicity and exceptional value: excellent home-cooked dishes as a set meal that combine local ingredients, care in preparation and presentation, in a pretty and quiet setting. This is not a fancy establishment; but it is an institution in the making.

You will not find a more symphatic and local Restaurant than Sophies !! She is a Girl of fun , joke and exellent food! We visited her Bistrot twice, because friends of us, who live in Magagnosc said that this is the point which we need to see and enjoi. It was really SUPERB.We will vist it gain when we are back in Cannes again for Holidays!!!!
