Why Travelers Love Le Patio
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Lauriane was our server when we visited in August and she was absolutely amazing—so kind, attentive, and great at explaining the menu. She even recommended the special cocktail, which we all ordered and loved. The food was incredible! We started with ravioli (I forget the filling but it was delicious) and squash blossoms with zucchini “ice cream.” For my main, I had the lamb croquettes stuffed with sun-dried tomato and basil on carrot purée with peas, candied ginger, and purple potatoes. I was in Nice for 10 days and this was hands-down the BEST meal of my trip. Every bite was so unique and flavorful—I almost licked the plate clean! The candied ginger added to it was such a clever touch. On top of it all, the atmosphere was gorgeous. The space felt so cozy and botanical, the rooftop that made it feel like dining in a dreamy secret garden. Truly unforgettable! OK, how come no one is talking about this place? We really enjoyed the beautiful aesthetics of this al fresco dining, tucked away inside the hotel, full of ambiance and romantic lighting. We were taken care of by a magnificent team of trio. The olive oil and olive bread is super nice, amazing menu of the day, and I thoroughly enjoyed the octopus and equatorial milk chocolate, poached pear with Timut pepper dessert! 10/10 for our first night out in Nice 🫶🏼 Come here and ereqard yourself after climbing up to Tour Bellanda/Colline du Chateau to watch the sunset. The restaurant has a quiet, stunning and unique atmosphere—definitely Instagram-worthy. However, the food didn’t quite live up to our expectations. The cocktails looked pretty but were particularly disappointing, with a cheap taste that didn’t match the upscale vibe. We also would have appreciated a wider range of vegan, vegetarian, or at least dairy-free options on the menu. Unfortunately, the service didn’t meet the standard we anticipated for the price point. The staff lacked the professionalism and warmth that would have made the experience more enjoyable.

Recommended! Very cute place, food is for the price fine (not extraordinary, so don’t expect too much). We had live music and a wonderful waitress. Good to take pictures as well.

Truly excellent evening spent at Le Patio. Amazing service in a beautiful setting. And while all the food was delicious, the near perfect orange for dessert undersold itself - I would say it was actually perfect!
