Restaurant LE TAKHI

EAT AT THE HEART OF LA RESERVE DES MONTS D'AZUR

At LE TAKHI restaurant, lunch takes on a whole new dimension.
Settle in at the heart of La Réserve des Monts d’Azur, surrounded by a landscape where bison, Przewalski’s horses, deer and other wild animals roam freely.

And you don’t need to be staying at La Réserve to enjoy it: the restaurant is open to everyone.
Whether you join us after a safari, for a day in the mountains or simply to enjoy a good meal in an exceptional setting, our team welcomes you for both lunch and dinner.

 


A place to share

With a capacity of 50 to 80 guests, LE TAKHI is made for gathering around the table and sharing memorable moments over good food.

Birthdays, family meals, seminars, team lunches or professional events: the restaurant is an ideal setting for both private and corporate occasions, in summer and winter alike, offering a refreshing alternative to more traditional venues.

A glass of wine overlooking the open plains of La Réserve, children playing while the adults linger a little longer at the table… Everything here invites you to slow down and enjoy the moment. A dedicated area with games, books and toys is also available for younger guests in the restaurant lounge.

Simple, generous, homemade cooking

There’s no need to overcomplicate things here.
Our chef and his team serve generous, freshly prepared dishes, made on site using fresh ingredients and inspired by the seasons.

The menu changes regularly and is complemented by daily specials: vegetarian recipes, hearty dishes, local produce, homemade desserts… all guided by the same philosophy: to eat well, simply, in a place quite unlike anywhere else.

Younger guests are also well looked after, with a children’s menu created especially for them.

A unique experience that our family did yesterday at the Reserve des Monts-Azur. We've seen the wild european buffalos, the deers and the wild horses that originated in Mongolia. This reserve is a 700 hectares with free wild animals roaming around the place without human help. They co-exist in this habitat. I was amazed to see them sooo close! It's a different experience than seeing animals on captivity. I recommend for families visiting this place:-)

Not far from the city, nice drive!
If you’re gonna take a carriage, you can see the animals closer and there’s no need to wear sneakers if you’re not gonna do the promenade.
Carriage: 1 hour
Walking: 1.5-2hrs

This is a great mini safari in the mountains! You can see horses and bisons in the wild. Walking tours or in the carriage. Very beautiful nature and nice staff.
Please note that it is usually cold in the mountains so dress appropriately (long sleeves and trousers are recommended).
You can have a very good lunch at moderate price in the restaurant. Book in advance.
Nice boutique with souvenirs.
Children liked the tour very much.
We did not stay for the night.

Very beautiful reserve with stunning views. You can observe the animals in peace. Don't forget the binoculars! The crepes were very delicious.
Attention for non-French speakers: we had asked before booking if an English-speaking tour guide is available and this was not a problem. Unfortunately, on-site this was limited to just a few sentences and we understood almost nothing. That was very unfortunate!

Where do i start... Amazing place, the guide was very knowledgeable and friendly, great fun and spoke excellent English! We booked private carriage tour for our family. We loved seeing all the animals and learning a lot. We went to the restaurant for lunch, they had a great selection including children's menu. The food was beautiful and plentiful. I would highly recommend this place to anyone local or tourists! Thank you
