My wife and I were on vacation in Nice, staying in an AirBNB on the Cours de Saleya, which is full of restaurants. Di Yar was a breath of fresh air. We ended up eating there FOUR times during our stay. Just about every restaurant on the Cours offers the same menu: pizza, pasta, and seafood. Di Yar offered Lebanese fare that was refreshing and delightful while maintaining the distinctive French Riviera feel.
The service was friendly and personable, and the food was delicious. They had a wonderful lunch special which featured six different plates of Lebanese favorites: hummus, tabouli, falafels, kibbeh, kefta, and the little pastries (similar to spanakopita). We like spicy food (we learned France is not the place for spicy food) and they actually had a harissa sauce that really brought the spice up to a respectable level.
The last day we were homeless from 11am waiting for our train (after we checked out our AirBNB) and they took our bags and stored them in the restaurant during our two hour lunch. They were so kind and we even met a customer who's been coming to the owner's restaurant for nineteen years!
Highly recommended. We'd eat there again without hesitation. read more
