Delicious vegan food - Edit
Went with three non-vegetarians who all enjoyed the food. Had the vegan lasagna; it was wonderful, a white lasagna with mushrooms and spinach in a cashew based sauce.

Cosy and good - Edit
The restaurant is small but really cosy. The waiter speaks French and English and was very nice. It is kind of difficult to find a vegetarian restaurant in France and we were really happy that we finally found one. The menues are all vegetarian or vegan but some were sold out when we arrived. The Lasagne and Quiche were superb. I can absolutely recommend Chez Helen.

Wonderful surprise! - Edit
We stopped in Antibes on a tour and didn't expect to find anything vegan but we were delighted to find this lovely little place! It's vegetarian but they have a vegan special everyday. We had a delicious vegan blueberry cake and coffee with rice milk. The owner is English and she delightful! Wish we could have come back for the vegan lunch, which sounded yum!

Great all round - Edit
Starting with service, great staff, friendly and welcoming with great English - even the menus come in English which always helps! Not as many vegan options but the staff happily modify some of the dishes if you want to be. Recommend both the risotto which was vegan and the vegetarian lasagne (not vegan though) which was spectacular! Word of warning, park a little bit away as the streets for driving in this area of Antibes is VERY TIGHT! Overall great experience and we will be back

THE place to go for veggie food in Antibes - Edit
We've been going to Helens for many years by now and frankly I don't know how we would have survived as vegans on the Riviera without them. If you want great organic and healthy food, it's the place to go. Just remember to book in advance as the restaurant is small and fills up quickly during lunch.

Thank you Helen and Seb for bringing veggie food to Antibes!
Pros: Vegan daily special, Everything is organic, Good prices

Simply perfect! - Edit
This really is one of the best restaurants I have ever visited!
Read moreFirstly, I totally enjoyed the atmosphere: Relaxed and alternative, but still not too "hippie". I think that everyone can feel at ease and comfortable, no matter what backround.
Secondly, service was so hearty and friendly, and staff speak English and explain the menu to you and also the dishes that are vegan. As everything sounded so great and I couldn't decide, I had the soup of the day (which was a pumpkin, basil and ginger soup) and the daily special (veggie & chickpeas stew). Both dishes were simply wonderful, very delicious and huge portions. I wanted to have a hot chocolate with rice milk for dessert because you can't get that very often, but I was simply too full... So I had a camomile tea instead, which was not done with a tea bag, but was actually done with real camomile!
Antibes is a lovely town, and having such a wonderful experience there made my visit all the more special!
Pros: Friendly, English-speaking staff, Fantastic vegan food , Wonderful atmosphere

You should definitely STOP here - Edit
Chez Helen - "HIGHLY RECOMMENDED" being Vegan there were not a lot of choices in and around Nice however finding Chez Helen in Old Antibes town was a great surprise while on our way to The Musée Picasso.
Read moreChez Helen - Great little bohemian place to eat, great atmosphere and you will not be disappointed.
Chez Helen staff speak excellent English, are very friendly, took the time to explain the menu and nothing was to much trouble for them.
Chez Helen is a good choice and you should definitely stop here, if you're in Old Antibes. I will definitely be eating there again.
Pros: Vegan - Friendly - Good Value
Cons: Hard to get up and leave..

Great find in Antibes! - Edit
I have been coming to Antibes for a few years now and have always struggled as vegan eating out.
Read moreI was thrilled to come across Chez Helen's restaurant based in the old town area of Antibes.
It's primarily a vegetarian restaurant with certain dishes adaptable to be vegan. I can recommend the home made Falafel and Houmous that comes with a generous salad.
The home made soups were also great, (I had tomato).
It has a very cozy and homely atmosphere with good service.
I very much recommend this restaurant, my only request being, that more vegan deserts are available. The desert menu was great for veggies but unfortunately only one vegan option being a Plum/Fruit Crumble I believe.
Looking forward to returning to Chez Helen on my next trip to Antibes.
Pros: Healthy Veggie and Vegan Food, Lovely location in Antibes old town., good customer service
Cons: Only one vegan dessert available! :(

Veggie Heaven... - Edit
Having read the reviews about Chez Helen I had high expectations and this lovely little restaurant lived up to them. The menu has something for everyone and the lovely owners are very welcoming and friendly. It is sad to see people looking at the menu and walking by as it is a real gem. The menu isn't cheap and may not be suitable if you are on a tight budget but it is no more expensive than many of the other restaurants in this area (and may I add is worth every cent!!). Well worth a visit!

delicious food, friendly service - Edit
so glad to have stumbled upon this delightful place. it's small, so reservations are recommended but not necessary. it's a vegetarian restaurant but vegan options are numerous and the owners are happy to make modifications. i had the chickpea parmentier (delicious!) and a cassis 'flan' for dessert, also very yummy. my partner was very pleased with his seitan Cordon Bleu and orange cheesecake.
Read morethe service is fast and Helen is very friendly and dynamic. we were there on a Saturday night and although i could see a lot of people outside checking out the menu, inside things were pretty quiet. it's too bad because this place deserves more customers.
it's not particularly expensive, especially for its location in Vieil Antibes.
Pros: excellent food, friendly staff, good value
Cons: no music

very good but should make efforts for vegans - Edit
* Strengths: good location, open for lunch and dinner 6 days / 7, nice decor, all organic, all-good, very little wait.
Read more* Weaknesses: it's expensive (about 6 € "l'entrée", 12 € 50 a dish), there are not many choices, no good vegan dessert (only compote or crumble).
Also, it is better not arrive too late if you want to have choice.
Finally, from a personal standpoint, one thing I did not appreciate at all: the young woman, Helen, knew we had a birthday. She made a giant cookie (free). She brang it with candles on it, they applauded, then she looked at me and my partner and said : "but it's not for you"!!! Is it "Vegan-friendly" ?! I'm not sure !!!

Brilliance in the South of France - Edit
We tumbles upon this wonderful restaurant one evening whilst in the middle of a daily whinge about the lack of good vegetarian food in France. What a find! Some of the best food in the continent served in one of the cosiest settings possible. Helen is a wonderful host who clearly takes tremendous pride in everything she does, with magnificent results. The menu offers a mix of dishes including some French but many from other European countries and beyond. Excellent local (alcoholic) drinks are available and everything is incredibly cheap. We cannot recommend this outstanding restaurant and highly recommend visitors to Cannes, Nice, Marseille, Monacco (or Antibes, for that matter) to take the trip and enjoy it was many others have. Our only regret was not being able to return a second time with our young kids, due to extreme tantrum conditions.
