A great place for Oysters and fresh seafood. The tables are small, but the plates are big and filled with delicious shrimp, mussels, etc. we went for a lunch and tried the degustation platter and added some more dishes. it was plenty of food and we enjoyed the staff and also the relaxed atmosphere wand conversations with the people next to us. check it out! They are quite purely a seafood restaurant. It is not necessary to choose the pre-set platters. We chose the big oyster and big shrimp which are delicious. Their mussels are in the right taste of the french style. It may be a bit expensive but worth to try This place is a must visit. It’s actually larger than we thought. The seafood platter is exceptional. We had traditional version with the largest sized oyster (number 1). Super fresh and super creamy! The oyster is actually better than the other very fine restaurant we went to the day prior. We also got an extra order of the medium sized prawns. If you are a prawn lover, you won’t regret it! It’s very fresh, also sweet as well! Service was exceptional! We left a wallet in the toilet by accident, the waiter brought back to us. That place was busy and many passers by. Great place, great food, great service, great value. Love it!

Le Café de Turin is truly a must-visit in Nice if you love fresh seafood and authentic French charm. The oysters were absolutely divine, fresh, briny, and perfectly presented, paired beautifully with prawns, tarama, and crisp bread. Everything tasted of the sea, simple yet exquisite. But what made the experience unforgettable was the service. Christopher, our waiter, was the highlight of the evening. He was kind, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, going above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience. His warmth and professionalism elevated the whole meal and made us feel at home. He made an exceptional wine suggestion as well. If you’re in Nice and want seafood done right, this is the place. Ask for Christopher, he will make your visit exceptional.

Great food, we even wanted to come back here the next day since we haven't tried everything. However, the waiters were very rude. It looked like something happened among them, but it's not visitors' fault right?, so why should we participate in it and be impacted by their bad mood? They threw cutlery on the table aggressively, ignored us, and when we paid and waited for one of ours to come back from the toilets, they pushed our chairs while we were still seating - apparently hinting that it was time for us to leave.
