We recently tried Cario.K in Antibes and had a good experience. The Carioza Brazilian Cake and Açai Bowls at Cario.K are both really good. The Açai Bowl was so fresh, and you can really taste the difference with their 100% natural açaí, (they say, they import straight from the Amazon). The Carioza cake was a great gluten-free option, with a texture that was surprisingly light and easy to digest. If you’re looking for a spot in Antibes with unique and healthy options, this place is definitely worth a visit.
Excited to test a new address offering a gluten-free option in Antibes, I would like to share my experience.
If you wish to eat in this restaurant, reservations are recommended. This was not our case, to get a table we waited 45 minutes which is understandable at the end of which we were seated at a table of 4. However the waiter told us that if he had a table of 2 which would be releasing it would displace us, which again is very understandable. A table then became available 10 minutes after we took our seats, we had not yet ordered. We thought we would be asked to change tables at this point, but no request was made by the waiter when he came to take our orders. We were therefore surprised when 10 minutes after being served, the waiter asked us to move the table without the help of the staff, not giving us a very positive image of the quality of the service. The waiter ends up apologizing for this situation and tells us that the desserts will be offered to us as compensation, which we appreciated. What a surprise we were when we saw on the bill that only one dessert was actually offered…
The icing on the cake is that the gluten-free pasta served is not fresh but industrial, Rumo, not to mention the brand. The staff lacked transparency and mentioned that the cost of a gluten-free option is €2, which is quite surprising for a restaurant that does not offer homemade gluten-free cuisine.... The positive point is that they are careful about cross contamination so I did not get sick (celiac).
So I will not return to this restaurant….
We called to reserve a table for 7 people.
Once we arrived (at 9 p.m.) we were very poorly received by the waiter, who I think wanted to go home (we were the only ones in the restaurant).
We tell them that some have a special diet (lactose/gluten intolerance), we had the impression that they were force-fed, and had difficulty sticking to it.
The dishes were sent at the same time as the aperitif (avoid the so-called "gourmet" board which only contains 2 pieces of mortadella, and 2 pieces of rosette).
No commercial gesture, for an amount of 220th.
I do not recommend this restaurant at all, in terms of price, atmosphere, and service.
