4.1 / 5.0(3,200 reviews)

Was a moderate dining experience. With so many choices offering on Cr Saleya, I imagined they would make the food a little more memorable. Food was alright, nothing super delicious or worth going back for. Their outdoor seatings were nice. We sat opposite the restaurant and it was breathable and fun to watch people pass by. The staffs were super nice and on it. They were very attentive. Located at the heart of Cours Saleya Market. We sat at the patio area in front of the restaurant and ordered their three-course menu. The Salad Niçoise, Daube Provencale, and the pistachio ice cream were all superb. The service was prompt and friendly; the billing was hassle free with both card and cash options available. Overall, a nice experience. We had a family lunch there with 4 adults and 4 kids aged 1 to 7. Even on Monday afternoon it was very busy both inside and outside. The air conditioner made our stay on a sultry day rather pleasant. The waiting time for the kids order stood at 15 minutes, the staff was very flexible and agreed to make so changed to the standard menu to please the kids. The pizza was tasty, so was the salmon with mashed potatoes. But the waiting time for the adults’ order exceeded 45!!! Minutes, even though we ordered the dish of the day. It was pure hell since there was not even WiFi available to keep the kids busy therefore when our second part of order came, we just swallowed it . The food was fresh and tasty but the seafood starters we ordered were too much soaked in oil, the place is not cheap but for a busy tourist spot it was bearable

Good food. Starter is in big portion, I was almost full and almost couldn’t finish the main course. Reasonable price too. This place is highly recommended!

The restaurant was very busy, but the hostess went above and beyond to find us a table — we truly appreciate her effort! Special thanks to our server, Seydina, who was exceptionally attentive and kind. The dishes were absolutely delicious! We had a wonderful experience overall.
