About Le44
Le44 is an Antibes venue open for lunch and dinner Wednesday through Sunday, closed Monday and Tuesday, with a smart-casual dress code. Readers choosing between it and Nananère should treat Le44 as a practical option when the schedule and setting suit the occasion.
The clearest external recognition is We're Smart World 2025 two-radish recognition. It is reasonable to consider Le44 when you want a planned Antibes meal with a confirmed lunch-and-dinner schedule and a smart-casual baseline. Beyond that, there is no basis here for claims about price, seating, service style, drinks, dietary accommodations, or takeout and delivery.
Use it for a planned Antibes lunch or dinner, not a claim-heavy destination brief
The right expectation is important. This is not the venue to choose because a signature dish, named chef, or tasting-menu format has been documented. Choose it when the group wants an Antibes meal that fits the confirmed Wednesday-to-Sunday service window. For another option to compare, consider Nananère. For a broader local search, our full Antibes restaurants guide is the better starting point.
Timing is the main practical angle. Le44 serves lunch from 12–1:30 PM and dinner from 7–9:30 PM Wednesday through Sunday, it is closed Monday and Tuesday. Lunch and dinner are both available, so the better choice depends on the schedule you need rather than on any separate lunch offer, price point, or evening-only format.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
Le44 reads like a Riviera local rather than a seasonal concession: it sits on Boulevard Albert 1er where the promenade meets quieter residential streets, so the setting feels scenic and familiar rather than tourist-driven. The editorial voice emphasizes provenance and restraint — a kitchen that treats vegetables and market fish with seriousness — which gives the room a composed, classic charm. Service and pacing aim to showcase seasonal produce, and the overall effect is relaxed and quietly elegant: a small-scale coastal address that privileges substance over spectacle.
Best For
This is a restaurant that suits an attentive evening out: think date night, special occasions and composed business dinners where ingredient quality matters. The chef-led approach and editorial recognition signal a grown-up dining rhythm best appreciated at dinner when market-fresh seafood and vegetable-led preparations are central. It rewards guests who are looking for a thoughtful regional meal rather than a postcard Riviera experience, so plan for a meal where conversation and the provenance of dishes take center stage.
Ordering Tips
Menus here pivot on seasonality and local sourcing under chef Jérôme Clavel, so ask the team about what arrived at market that day. Prioritize market fish and vegetable preparations — the kitchen is noted for taking vegetables beyond decoration — and let the staff steer you to the most recently landed or garden-fresh options. If the restaurant offers daily suggestions or a tasting sequence, those are good ways to sample the kitchen’s sourcing discipline and the Riviera's seasonal variety.

Restaurant context
How Le44 compares in Antibes
Choose Le44 when the brief is a composed dinner with easy planning rather than a clearly labeled concept. Nananère is the more explicit modern-cuisine comparison at €€, so it is the cleaner pick for diners who want that category defined before booking. Le44 is better for a date or small celebration where the external vegetable-focused recognition and evening usefulness carry the decision.
Le Golden Beef is the better fit for a steak-led group meal; Le44 is a softer choice for guests who do not want the night centered on beef. MamaBoon reads as the easier casual alternative, useful when the group wants less formality. La Taille de Guêpe is the one to compare if a smaller local-feeling meal matters more than a polished occasion setup.
For ambiance-led dining, Les Vieux Murs should be cross-shopped first. For value, Nananère has the clearer price signal because its €€ tier is published; Le44 needs a more flexible budget until menu pricing is checked during planning. Booking difficulty is marked easy for Le44, making it a useful fallback when the more obvious Antibes names do not line up with the desired time.
