4.5 / 5.0(1,304 reviews)
One of our favorite meals in Nice. Lovely service and atmosphere. The star dish is the truffle steak. Very generous portions and real shaved truffle. Great price for what you get. Scallops were also delicious. Everything we had was wonderful and would recommend this! For just €25, I had a three-course fine dining meal — beautifully presented, high-quality, and absolutely delicious. I ordered the chicken Cordon Bleu, which came with a fresh arugula and cherry tomato salad and perfectly cooked French fries. The portion sizes were generous, and everything tasted healthy and minimally processed. The cheese plate was divine and clearly made with quality ingredients. A few downsides: service was very slow, though it seemed there was only one waiter handling the whole restaurant, which isn’t his fault but a staffing issue. There’s no signage for the restrooms, and they’re down very narrow stairs, making them inaccessible for guests with mobility issues. The booth seating is very upright and not the most comfortable. The bread was underwhelming. I chose to eat inside to avoid the cigarette smoke outside. While smoking is part of European culture, I wish the interior doors were kept closed to help minimize smoke drifting in. Overall, incredible value for the price and a must-visit for a delicious, authentic French dining experience — if you have no mobility issues. Nice restaurant with a high rating, expected a little more. Got the ceviche and the spelt risotto with scallops. The scallops were sadly overcooked, I still like scallops even when poorly cooked, but when you’re 36€/plate, you should be able to cook 3 scallops to perfection. The dessert was redeeming. The apricot cheesecake was the winner. The raspberry tart looked better than it tasted, but was pretty good. I wouldn’t go back.

Absolutely fantastic restaurant. Food was impeccable. Top quality ingredients, and preparation of those ingredients. Slightly more expensive than other restaurants around Nice, but worth it. Enjoy!

Vert tasty food, and service amazingly pleasant. Beef tartare one of the best I’ve tried so far. Definitely ask for the deserts, because they present you with several options you can choose from . Banana cheese cake was a winner for me.
