Situated on a small road in the old town, not the easiest to find, this restaurant was one of the most amazing culinary experiences I have ever had. It is one of those absolute gems of a restaurant I never thought I'd find outside of internationally top-rated restaurants. Noma, Osteria Francescana et al, beware; this gem of a restaurant gives...

This was a very nice experience in Vieux Nice. The celler was loaded with enthusiastic people getting their energy from the entertaining owner telling the guests about the menu and other offers. The suggested entré with cheesy vegetables was excellent and the porc (jarret) prepared as the main dish was very nice. As this is also a wine bar they... More

I dined at this restaurant at the suggestion of friends without knowing the fairly positive Tripadvisor reviews going in. The atmosphere is quaint with the cellar-like atmosphere. The restaurant was a mixed French and international crowd. The waiters were a bit pushy with wine recommendations and often did not have the requested choice. The menu was written on a chalkboard,...

My husband and I visited here on our honeymoon in September. We were lucky to get a reservation - the restaurant was booked solid most of the week we were in Nice. We ended up getting a table late on Wednesday evening. We sat downstairs in the cellar and had a fantastic waitress. We had lots of questions about the... More

A small shop front in the Vieux Nice, two brothers partly brought up in Alemanic Switzerland with a love of cheese and a poetic knowledge of wine. My husband selected dishes with little cheese, a delicious foie gras caramelisé with a thin slice of parmesan, and the plat humeur du chef, which was pork's calf with sweet turnips and carrots....

This restaurant is located in the old town in a small road, so it is not easy to find it, especially because the shop on ground floor is quite small and the tables are located on the lower floor in a cave. For some people it could be very romantic, for me it could be a little oppressive because of... More

We had some vague memories of good reviews for this restaurant but, after several trips to Nice, this was our first visit. We arrived at 8pm to find the restaurant door locked. Odd - but soon opened. We were shown downstairs to what was an empty area of the restaurant. We ordered some wine. Great store was made of "natural... More
