While strolling through Nice, I happened upon Restaurant Le Duc, directly across from the Mediterranean Sea. There was something immediately alluring about its appearance that drew me inside, and what a delightful discovery it turned out to be! The ambiance was absolutely enchanting. Sumptuous indigo-violet velvet seating, magnificent crystal chandeliers, and beautiful natural light created an atmosphere of understated opulence. Despite its sophistication, the restaurant felt wonderfully relaxed, intimate, and inviting--a perfect balance of elegance and comfort. My absolute favorite was the Foie Gras de Canard du Chef, accompanied by citrus compote and delicate brioche. The balance of rich, velvety textures and vibrant citrus was exquisite. Equally delicious was the Loup Pour 2 Personnes, a beautifully prepared sea bass complemented by peas, broad beans, mint, verbena, and lime. The fresh Mediterranean flavors were simply delightful. We enjoyed a lovely bottle of Domaine Saint Pons, Vignobles Rasque, Authentique, Côtes de Provence, which added another wonderful touch to our afternoon. The service was impeccable, as well as attentive, polished, and genuinely welcoming without ever feeling intrusive. Everything flowed effortlessly, allowing us to relax and savor the experience. What I particularly loved about Le Duc was its ability to feel luxurious without being pretentious, sophisticated without being stuffy, and elegant without sacrificing comfort. This was a spontaneous discovery that became a memorable afternoon of French gastronomy, Mediterranean charm, and exceptional hospitality. Magnifique! A restaurant I would happily return to.

We are normally eating a Wfpb diet along with fish. So tonight we ordered tuna and cod to get in protein. The cod was definitely the best dish because the fish was cooked to perfection... medium rare...and the side root vegetables were simply cooked without heavy sauces. The tuna was cooked rare as requested, but I felt serving it over squash coulit overwhelmed the tuna. Dessert was sorbet for us to avoid dairy products... but too much sweetener in the peach. I make this at home and you barely need to add any sweetener. Richard had the vesper martini and it was perfect. Overall, the setting was lovely. The staff were very friendly and professional. I think we just like lighter foods these days.

The space is super small, almost snuggling with the people you share the table with small. And on a very hot and muggy middle of the day heat I felt like I was roasting in the oven. That was strike one. Strike two... the food I'm sad to say, it really wasn't anything special. We ordered the fried zucchini flowers to share, it wasn't greasy at all, delicate but in need of a fair amount of salt sprinkling. For main courses I had the basil pesto pasta which smelled divine but again, lacking in seasoning. Hubs got the beef stew which also nothing that I can't make at home on a crockpot. The dishes really wasn't anything extra ordinary like I was expecting the it to be. Staff were pleasant and lovely. It was fun to watch everyone work around each other in what maybe a 10 sqft space of a kitchen.

Raclette Cheese is a semi-hard, cow's milk Alpine cheese from Switzerland or France known for its rich, nutty flavor and smooth, gooey melt.

We started with the burrata appetizer which was creamy perfection. For our mains we had the Prime rib and the Lamb chops. Both were cooked how we liked. They were seasoned well and had excellent flavor. We had a delicious side of creamy whipped potatoes. The meat had an excessive amount of fat and gristle and it seemed that half of what we got was left behind on the plate. For dessert we split a tiramisu which wasn't tiramisu, instead it was marscapone with a Carmel sauce and a cinnamon crunch topping. It was good but not what we expected. We sat directly in front of the grill which was cool watching the grill master at work. Waitstaff were very nice. Overall, I've had better steaks and chops.

In Nice there are several restaurants along the coast that are beachside restaurants. I just…read morestopped by the one that was closest to where I was stay on a whim and had a lovely time. To sit in the back on couches or at tables it's free (not including price of food of course). To sit in the first row of lounge beach chairs it's 20 euros, and to sit in all the other rows of lounge beach chairs it's 16 euros. In addition, it's 5 euros to be able to use the parasol/umbrellas. This seems expensive, but once you buy you're allowed to sit out there the entire day - 20 euros for the day right at the beach front doesn't seem all that bad actually once you factor in the fact that you've drive/flown/traveled all this way just to get to Nice. Another important point is that Nice's beaches are stone pebbled and not sandy so the lounge beach chairs make a wonderful way for you to experience the beach without having terrible pain on your feet. The service was absolutely excellent. They were very quick to catch your eye if you needed something and quick to ask you for anything you might need. When I couldn't finish my meal they even brought me a plate to cover my food so that it would keep for longer. The rose (you've got to have Rose in Nice) was lovely and the truffle rigatoni was very flavorful - HUGE portions. Menus are provided in English if you need. They might give English to you automatically if they catch on that you're a tourist. Bathrooms were SO clean. They're in the back under the promenade des anglais and even have seating/resting areas and outlets to plug in/charge something.

They have tables line the beach, then couches, and lastly beach chairs close to the water. You can order food and drinks all throughout, but for beach chairs you have to pay the rental. You can get away with the sofa lounge area with food and drinks that are right behind the lounge chairs which is what I recommend because the view is outstanding. Our service was prompt and the staff all spoke English so it made ordering very easy. I ordered the truffle rigatoni and it's one of the best pasta dishes I've ever had. Very rich in flavor and large in portion size. I took the rest home since I couldn't eat all of it. My husband ordered the cheeseburger that came with fries and salad also a large portion. This place had a lot of families on a Sunday and a bunch of celebrations so be mindful if you're looking to get a nice quiet meal by the sea. If you're looking for that then get something on the far end on the beach. We will be back again to try more plates off the menu.
