Why Travelers Love Chez Pipo
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
4.5 / 5.0(5,090 reviews)
Food was really good, we enjoyed it very much. But the wait for food for 40 mins plus was gruelling. We had to remind the waiter twice and even then only one of the items arrived. I guess the waiter completely forgot about our order. The stools in the restaurant is also slightly small which made the wait even more uncomfortable. We’d heard so much about this restaurant and its famous specialty that we were happy to wait in line for a table. Unfortunately, the food didn’t quite live up to the hype. I’m sure socca can be a wonderful traditional dish, but what we tried that night just wasn’t that good — and the classic one we ordered was a bit burned. Service was fine and prices are reasonable, though the menu felt quite limited. Overall, an okay experience but not quite worth the buzz for us. Wow wow wow this place is amazing I first got recomended this restaurant by a tour-guide when I asked for places that made genuinely good local food. So I went there, got seated. The server noticed that I struggled with french so he switched to english. I said I wanted to practice my French so he not only switched back but even helped me with some words. The first time I was here i ordered the following: Tartinades (Tapenades Verte & Noire) Socca anchois With a aperol spritz as a drink And for desert a lemon marangue pie with a glass of niçois rum as a digestif. This meal was so good, and the staff so nice that despite me saying that I try a new place each night I during my stay, went here twice. So I went again and the meal was just as if not more terrific. This time, and what I'll be showing photos of, I ordered: Tartinades (Thoïonade - Anchoïade) Pissaladière Socca anchois (because i couldn't get enough of it) And a Panaché to drink And for desert I had: Tourte de Blettes And glass of niçois rum as a digestif All of the flavors work so well together, the food was obviously made to order and was super fresh, and the best part is that it really wasn't expensive for what you got. and the staff (once again) was super kind and even remembered me:P When I come back here, I'll visit Chez pipo. When my friends say that they're going to nice, I'll recomend them Chez pipo. I love this Chez pipo🫶🫶 Edit: i unknowingly went a third time because I went on a food tour:) Not complaining, I couldn't have wished for a better end to my trip to nice. Au revoir and see you lovely people next year:))

Great authentic Nicoise fare here at Chez Pipo! A terrific, tapas style menu, brings you the best portions of delightful local fare. Given the modest prices and fair portion sizes, it's easy to select 3 or 4 dishes to accompany your choice of wine, beer, and spirits without busting your waistline or your wallet. I arrived around 6:30 to a few empty tables, but it filled up fast after that. The staff moved quickly to seat guests but you never feel rushed to finish and leave. This is a terrific spot to taste Nice, located in the old city. A delight to walk to, and just a few streets from the port, which makes for a lovely walk afterwards. Don't miss Chez Pipo!
