Make reservations ahead of time (it's easy to do online) because this place will fill up for dinner. They have 4 appetizers to choose from, about 5-6 entrees and about 7-8 desserts to choose from, and the prices are reasonable for dinner: 24€ for plat + entree or plat + dessert, and 29€ for the 3 courses. Entrées: - Velouté de topinambour / Jerusalem artichoke soup - This soup was super, super creamy and buttery. I don't want to know how much cream and/or they put in here - it was good, but very rich. There was a piece or two of bacon, and the soup was tasty. - Trilogie de betteraves / Beets cooked three ways - I was looking for something healthier to eat, and was happy this was on the menu. I wasn't sure what to expect with this dish, other than it was beets cooked three ways. There was one little dish of beet salad with green onions or scallions, a small beet poached or roasted, and a beet purée that went well with the bread. I would recommend this appetizer if you want something on the lighter/healthier side and different. Plats: - Risotto with asparagus and tomatoes - My husband ordered this and it was good but not outstanding. He added the 2 pieces of seared foie gras for 5€ which made the dish better; I think it would have been a bit bland without the foie. The asparagus was very fresh and the risotto was on the lighter side which was nice. - Salmon with Cajun seasoning and leeks - This was different than what you'd normally find in a French restaurant since I've never seen Cajun spiced things before. The salmon was a little on the small side, but it was still good and the caramelized leeks on the side were a really perfect compliment. This dish was tasty and really good, but just a bit on the smaller side compared to all the other main dishes that were meat-based (from what I saw other diners getting) We were full so we skipped dessert, but it looked pretty good - they had things like a chocolate lava cake, a praline crème brûlée, spéculos tiramisu, and financier with a passion fruit center. Overall, a good meal that won't break the bank and that has a good selection of things on the menu. More heavier " comfort food " than lighter fare, and slightly less traditional French. The ambiance was very casual - it almost felt like you were eating in a graffiti park with dim lighting and metal walls, but overall, we had a decent meal at a reasonable price. The waiters here all spoke English well and it seemed most of the clientele were tourists.

Excellent service and food here. We made reservations ahead of time because of the reviews and were…read morevery happy we stopped by. Service was very friendly and helpful. We ordered the octopus salad and it was a very generous portion with an incredibly fresh tasting grilled octopus. It was a perfect size to share or you could have it as a light entree. Menu is small but what they do, they do very well. They have both indoor and patio seating. Aside from the tasty food the most memorable thing here was the wonderful service. We were seated right away and had a nice bread bowl with oil and balsamic vinegar to start as well as drink orders placed. This is not the place to order drinks but they do have quite a few non alcoholic drink options -juices, soda, etc. Overall I'd highly recommend checking this place out for lunch or dinner.

I ordered the sole, which was cooked perfectly and tasted wonderful. My friend had what they described as a clam linguini (which was actually more of a spaghetti). I tried some, and we both agreed that the dish came up short because it was missing something - maybe garlic? Despite the lack of favor in my friend's dish, but entrées portions were very generous, and our server recommended a very nice bottle of local red wine which we both very much enjoyed. We also shared a plate of specialty ham, which unfortunately was way too salty for either of us to have more than a few bites. Bottom line: Exceptional service and great prices. We enjoyed our visit enough that we might give them another try the next time we find ourselves in Nice.

We arrived when it opened with reservations at 7 pm. Nobody came to see us for 40 minutes even though a group of waiters were standing and talking to each other. I asked them if any was our waiter and a man named naive said he was. I asked why he wasn't waiting on us and he didn't respond. I told him on the way over to our table that he was not doing a good job. That he shouldn't be standing around talking while customers were waiting. He said I was being "curt". I asked to see the manager and a very young guy came out in a tee shirt. WhenI explained the issue he said he would assign a new waitress. She came out promptly and took our drink order and I thought all would be well. I am not going to write all the details. but when we finally got our meals it was disappointing. I had to chase the new waitress to pay the bill before we received the dessert we paid for. There were a lot go people there so maybe our experience was not typical.

We enjoyed our walk to the restaurant through the more modern (less old) part of Nice vs the old town where we had spent most of our time during our stay. I sat on a plump leather chair which I thought was unusual for dining (more akin to sipping scotch). They had a menu where you pick from a set of entrees, mains, and desserts. They brought out bread with a small sampling of what I think was chic pea spread with a foamy creme fraise on top - very good. The split pea soup with sausage was delicious. The duck was good, but a bit chewy. For dessert, I had the sorbet of the day and we ordered the souffle which was not on the fixed menu. I think you have to try soufflé at least once in France.

Even though I'm not a huge fan of seafood, I ended up ordering their twist on pissaladière as my starter and the salmon as my main course, and I couldn't have been happier with my meal. The quality and flavor of the fish in both dishes was some of the best I've ever had. The chocolate dessert made for a rich and satisfying finish. I especially loved experiencing something regional with a fine dining twist. Everything was beautifully plated, and service was excellent. When it began to drizzle, staff instantly moved all outdoor tables under a dry awning. They timed the courses well and thoughtfully refilled our wine glasses without being annoyingly over-attentive. From beginning to end, this was a smooth, perfectly balanced experience in flavors, aesthetic, and atmosphere.

This was our favorite meal of our trip to Nice!…read more Warning: Reservations are hard to come by we dropped by and only reservations available were for 9pm two nights later. We took it. The place is super relaxed. 5 maybe 6 tables which made the difficulty of reservations more understandable. Prix fix menu - 4 appetizers to choose from, 4 entrees and 4 desserts. We were there with somewhat of a limited diet, but the options were awesome. We got a cauliflower appetizer and an artichoke one. Both were excellent. We all had the cod for dinner also delicious - served in a bath of traditional fish soup and with potatoes. The dessert was also excellent - we got the goat cheese in olive oil and garlic, the cream cheese with blueberry compote, lemon cheesecake and cinnamon "tiramisu". Every bite was full of flavor and such cool takes on the food. Now the intangibles - we arrived for our 9pm reservation, restaurant closes at 9:30 and we probably didn't walk out until 11:15 and there was still another table of 8 people dining. The host/waiter, Sebastian, was awesome. So friendly and we at no point felt rushed. In fact the opposite. When our daughter was slow in finishing her meal he joked with her instead of hurrying us along. Once we finished our main dish, he casually brought us our dessert and because we didn't order his favorite (we didn't know) he brought us out an extra to enjoy. We felt a little bad so somewhat accelerated the dessert phase so we could square up and leave. Instead he was unhurried, he casually cleared our table and chatted with us for a bit. It took us another 15 minutes before we finally said could we get the bill. He brought it to us another 5-7 minutes later. We had a great experience and one of our best meals in France, if not the best.

How could you eat here and not give it 5 stars?…read more We walked by earlier this week and saw this place received a Michelin awards a few years in a row. We have no restaurants in philly that have that. So we made reservations. Before anything started they brought us out small shot glasses of asparagus soup with tiny spoons. It was gone. Quickly but man was it good. Menu is just a chalkboard the carry from table to table. Guess that means it's just always changing. We got three starters. Duck liver, something egg and the tuna tartare. I tried all of them and they were spectacular. Even the liver which I do not generally like. The break basket just keeps getting refilled all night long. So don't worry about leaving hungry. For my main meal I got the fresh lobster linguini. Let me tell you.... I was never a huge fan of lobster but my mom grew up in Maine so I've reintroduced myself to it these past few years. Maybe I just grew up eating sh*t Lobster. When prepared right it can really knock your socks off. For desert I got the Nice Coffee. This was espresso, lemon sorbet and a cookie. A really great combination. Everyone was very pleasant and helpful. It can be hard when you don't speak any French! Perfect noise level. I don't think any music was playing. I 408 euros for 4 people. There was a bottle of wine and mixed drinks in there too. So I don't think that's terrible.
