Why Travelers Love La Réserve
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Came here for dinner—our party got a table overlooking the water with a beautiful view. Overall, food was fairly good. Would recommend the Roasted Sea Bass Filet, Salers Beef, Cannelloni Riviera and The Dublin Bay Prawn. The a la carte menu is quite limited so there aren’t many food options and portions are on the small side. For desserts, the Raspberry Soufflé and Summer on the Beach were okay. Portions are on the small side here and prices are a bit high in proportion to quantity. Drinks wise, they have a bar but there was no bartender so only “basic” cocktails or champagne/wine was possible. STUNNING VIEWS and excellent bar menu on the rooftop! Make a reservation because the space isn't large, and it's a terrific spot for a cocktail before dinner or for just cocktails and snacks. My husband and I enjoyed awesome gin and tonics and a yummy grilled cheese panini. There were many good choices on the menu-- not your typical bar chips and nuts. Classy atmosphere and friendly staff who spoke English too. You could drink and linger for a while. We took an Uberso can't comment on parking. The tall head host is a lovely gentleman. The other staff members were terrific as well. The food is sophisticated and haute and delicious. This was my first time at a fine dinning establishment. Everything was beautiful, especially the view. Too bad the weather ruined it. But the atomosphere was perfect. Highly recommend.

We make it a point to visit La Reserve each time that we are in Nice. The staff is always very pleasant and accommodating, especially with our French not being that great. The quality and presentation of each course is well worth the price. It is obvious that the chef(s) is quite talented and the flavors of each dish from entree to dessert are magnificent. We look forward to our return to Nice and once again dining at La Reserve.
