Nice little place to go for a good affordable lunch/dinner. We were there for lunch and while they do have outside seating it is only a small amount so we ended up inside. The air conditioning felt nice. They had different lunch specials to choose from along with their standard menu. I was there with 2 other people and we were all very pleased with our meal. Would definitly go back to try dinner. read more

This place seemed overrated. It could have been what we ordered. The service was outstanding - very friendly and spoke great English, a huge plus for an American. We ordered the Tuna anchovie salad which was intended to be prepared nicely, however, was a little sloppy. The Tuna was straight from the can. The anchovies was really one anchovie sliced down the middle. It sorely lacked flavor. Tons of tiny olives with pits. Probably 90 percent pit and 10 percent olives. It was a chore eating this salad. Speaking of chores, we got the lobster risotto which was very salty (the risotto, not the lobster) and it was honestly not worth the calories. They only get a two because of the service, which again was fantastic. read more

If you are named Frog, there's one thing you better do right: Frog legs. Bottom line, the frog legs are phenomenal! They are fried in a butter-garlic-onion mixture (that is great for dipping ones bread in afterwards!). Admittedly they are a bit tricky to eat. Small for efficient knife-and-forking. I found the best was to just cut them down the middle and eat each one like a mini-chicken wing (yes, mon dieu, with my hands). The other phenomenal item was the Bavarois dessert. It's a (tres dense) little pistachio cake on the bottom with a raspberry whipped cream in the middle, topped with whipped cream. One of the best desserts I've ever had anywhere (and ask my scale, I've had more than a few!). The service was good and transacted easily in English. Definitely try it out if you are not bothered by something a bit different. By the way, with 4 days to spend in Nice, we ate here twice! Never happens with us, unless remarkable. read more

We ate here twice during our 4 days in Nice. The frutti de mare is amazing as was the salmon tartar, salad nicoise and lobster risotto.

Please avoid - worst tourist trap in Nice. Service is bad. Staff look down on their customers. Food laughably overpriced. Waiter called us retarded as he thought we could not understand him while throwing napkin ring on table. read more

Wow! Best meal so far in France. The escargot was delicious- the best I've ever had. And I wasn't expecting to love the frog legs, as I never have, but I LOVED them. Ducks was super duper. Lastly the creme brûlée was Devine. Great service, great meal. read more

Frog - French Near Me - Nice, 06

Highly recommend this place. We came here guided by Yelp review, and it was absolutely worth it. The waiter was very professional, food amazing. Hood ambiance. We tried frog legs, snails and resotto woth prawns. Ressotto was super delicious. If you want some local vibe and authentic french food, you should try this place read more

This is a wonderful little restaurant in a quiet alley, near the opera. Of course frog legs are the featured dish, but they also have escargots and tasty meat dishes. I had an amazing panna cotta for dessert. English-speaking waiter was friendly and not snooty like many French servers can be. There are a few outdoor tables (not much view, just a building wall, but there is fresh air), most tables are indoors. I am telling people I know about it and when back in Nice will seek it out. read more

We had the best meal here while staying in Nice! The staff was so friendly and spoke great English. We really enjoyed the linguini seafood dish, the lamb and the veal dishes. The snails for an appetizer were great too! Highly recommend this place. read more

The food is over salted, for all portions that we eaten, I came back after two years and was disappointed.

We got lucky and got a table past 8pm service: very good. Everyone speaks English and is very helpful. Food: ordered frog combo and lamb shank. Snails are very good as other mention. Lamb shank was really good, soft tender and mashed potatoes and gravy was delicious. Price: reasonable and surprisingly slightly cheaper than most restaurants close to the beach Would we go back: yes! read more

Delicious frog menu with snails and frog legs both in garlic pesto. Highly recommended to learn new tastes. Friendly staff. read more

Our first dining experience when we got to Nice and I must say.. AMAZING!!!! The french baquettes were so fresh and warm we must have had 3 baskets. The recommended wine paired superb with our entire meal. We had one of the 3- course meals which included a squid appetizer, fish and a creme brûlée. The fish was Ok but the other two were wonderful. We also experienced frog legs for the first time as well as escargot. They both were to die for! The garlic herb marinade was perfect. Additionally, we enjoyed the duck. A great experience all the way through!! read more

Definitely the place to go if you are looking to have a nice meal, you pay a little bit more but it's so Delicious! I got their menu of the day, my friend got the Frog menu which allows you to try frog legs and snails. Two items on the France food bucket list. Make a reservation before you go because they do get busy around 8 o'clock read more

This is one of my favorite places in Nice. These guys really know their food and their service is great. Must try their escargot and frog legs! Can't wait to come back here. read more

Opens at 7pm. Very friendly and attentive staff. Great wine selections at very good price. Very good cocktails. Food was excellent as others said. I tried 3 day fish (=3 kinds of daily fish) with king prawn. Virgin sauce was a bit blend for me so I asked other sauce (e.g. daily sauce) and it was better. Pomme frits were a bit soft.. but it tastes good. Highly recommended. read more

Excellent service ! Great atmosphere . We had scallops , filet Rossini ,lamb all were Excellent read more

I can't say a lot about this restaurant because my husband and I got the same dish and no appetizer. But the beef shank offering was totally delicious. It was about 6 oz of falling off the bone (except there wasn't a bone) appropriately fatty beef with a savory and rich dark gravy. The ice-cream scoops of mashed potatoes were buttery and yummy. It came with a little salad and that was just OK. But the beef was really, really worth it. read more

Delicious meal, comfortable restaurant and friendly, welcoming service. Best meal we had in Nice! Highly recommend!

I kept seeing this restaurant pop up on the reviews but had a little time finding it. It is down a side alley in old town. Definitely worth the dining experience. Waitstaff was knowledgeable and friendly and were patient with two Americans. My companion ordered the country ribs which he is still raving about. His potatoes were so delicious and baked but crispy. I had the roasted duck. I've rarely ate duck and wanted to try something new. I was unaware that duck can come medium rare but it was more tender than other ducks I've had. I think other ducks are possibly overlooked and dried out. We will be back to dine here if ever in Nice again. Delicious read more

The kind of food you hope to discover while traveling! So amazing we returned for lunch the next day. Ate 3 of 3 meals here during our short visit in Nice. Escargot, Burrata Salad with a full pouch, Shrimp Avocado appetizer, Lobster Pasta, Tuna Tartar, Seared Tuna Steak. All fantastic. Friendly and appreciative service. We had fun with the waiters who immediately remembered us when we returned. read more

Yep. As reviews say, amazing! Best escargot - meaty!! Big frog legs with lots of shallots and fresh parsley. Need lots of bread for dipping. Great wine for great price. The avocado tartar I would pass. Okay, but not spectacular. What was hands down amazing was the shrimp risotto with lobster. Highly recommend. Amazing service! Not to be missed. Thanks for making a first great night in Nice. read more

Good location,and tasty,the frog legs and the snail are perfect ,we love it so much !if we go to nice ,we'll go there one more time! read more

This place is the real deal! The frog legs and escargot are to die for. The staff loves their job. I can't say enough to sell this place any more. Go eat dinner here of you are in Nice! It took a while to find because the location showing on Yelp is wrong. It's in Old Nice near the opera house. read more

Frog - The chef and sous chef are awesome. Come eat here if you are in Nice! - French Near Me - Nice, 06

First of all you will love visiting Nice! My GF and I had an amazing time. With that being said - LE FROG was top 3 for us (La Merenda was top on our list)! We started with the thin slices of octopus and and tuna tartar.... The octopus was a 10, the tuna tartar was good too, just felt it was missing some salt or citrus. Apps were followed by a Lamb Shank for me and if I can remember correctly Cod for my GF. Both were delicious. I will say, you are in France - they love butter! This place offers the full flavors and cooking of what this country has to offer, so you may want to ask to be lite on the butter. However, if you are there on vacation - splurge. We finished dinner with our usual staple when we are in the mood for a sweet finish - creme brûlée. Overall you will not be disappointed. We tried to stay away from the more touristy places since the food is just being pushed out of the kitchen. I will post more reviews on where we went - but we did fall in love with Nice and will be going back again. Almost forgot - you need to make Reservations! We got lucky that the servers were not only accommodating, they were some of the best we had while visiting. Bust Bernards chops if he's your server, he'll dish it right back, the Spaniard was great too as well as the "kid" (the younger of the 3). I'm sure they will still be there if you do decide to visit. Bon Voyage! read more

Best frog legs and escargot! A must try if you come to Nice especially if you haven't had either of those. The service is great here too, very welcoming and helpful with menu selections. My wife got the lamb shank and she loved and I got the sea bass with foie gras ( I've never had so much foie gras with a meal and didn't enjoy it as much but I think it was cooked right). Highly recommended! read more

Our first meal in France. We discovered this wonderful gem hidden small side street in Nice. Thanks yelp. The salade Nicoise was the best one I had in Nice. The escargot were huge and delicious. And the creme brûlée was creamy and fantastic. Our waiter was very friendly and accommodating, even though we closed down the Restaurant on a Sunday night. Highly recommend! read more

This place is really good and very accommodating for vegetarians. Enough veggie options if you're with a group of people that want a traditional french meal. The staff is very helpful. They also give you free limoncello shots at the end! read more

This is by far my favorite restaurant in Nice. The staff are very nice and accommodating. The frog legs and escargot are to die for. I'm so glad we went here. I had the seafood linguine. Coming from the islands of Hawaii, I'm very picky with my seafood. Everything they served me was delicious and FRESH. I will definitely come back to this restaurant again. read more

The snails were fantastic and my duck was delicious. Our waiter was also very nice in helping us with the menu.

The waiter was terrible and ruin the experience for the whole day... If I didn't saw similar review down there I would have thought he had some prejudice against Asians. After we finished the meal, the waiter went out and walked very quickly in front of us spitting and swearing in French. I have never seem something like this before. He was very nice at first, but turned very very rude once I asked him about the food - the lobster was, to say the least, not fresh, it was almost all liquid inside. So I asked the server whether this is normal. Throughout the process I accidentally spilled the nail sauce around the table (I don't know if this is my "rude" part that made him mad, because I am sure I wasn't rude in any way when I asked him about the lobster). Would not risk your holiday experience, since this is not just me having similar problems with waiters. I also saw other tables that weren't happy for some other reasons. read more

Pros: impeccable service! Good food. They are doing a great job to introduce their traditional food. Cons: bland read more

Very nice restaurant just off the promenade. Great outdoor dining. Escargot, tomato and burrata, lobster salad, Tiramasu and creme brûlée are amazing. Great amazing read more

Fantastic little restaurant, out of the way and not a lot of passing traffic. Efficient and good service. All 4 of us thought our meals were magnificent. Couldn't recommend it highly enough. Worth every dollar. And very nice Sancerre! read more

From the first steps into this humble cafe on the trottoir, to the last crisp sip of Limoncello offered as as an after-meal palette cleanser, we were captivated by the charming ambience, flavor-rich offerings, and kindly service of this unforgettable gastro-aventure. Au debut, a generous selection of escargots (the finest Bourgogne has to offer), luxuriant fois gras, and fried garlic grenouilles (frogs legs). Inside each snail shell, we found a burst of pesto flavor, punctuated by the succulent and salty meat. For the fois gras, a crisp piece of bread with a sweet neutral jelly. For the grenouilles, enough garlic and green onion to experience them in all their glory. For the entrees (that's the main course in France, not the appetizers for you Americans!), a generous lamb shank with the cheeky name "Souris d'agneau", a monstrous tiger prawn resting atop a bed of seductive Ratatouille, and a beef fillet with a rawness matched in appearance only by taste. We requested that the garçon pair us with an enchanting burgundy to round off the meal. What followed was a shared meal between friends, bathed in mirth, and overflowing with good cheer and warm fellowship. Of course, lest you think us elitist, be sure, dear reader, that we opted for that classic, humble Provençal beverage which makes the heart smile and the soul sing - Pastisse. To close, more snails and a pair of brazen espressos (for, why not reflect the melange of culture that is Nice, with Italy's grandest modern invention?). We left the meal with a smile that took us safely into tomorrow. Vive Le Frog! read more

Great food, great service and the ambiance is esthetically pleasing. Definitely recommend. Nothing about this place I didn't like. Love!!! read more

After being frustrated because half the restaurants we wanted to visit were closed for the holidays, we found our options limited. Yelp directed us to Frog with reviews raving of excellent mouthwatering dishes. We made the beautiful 20 minute trek over on the corniche and were quickly seated upon arrival. A quick look at the menu and I had settled on the lamb shank with lavender polenta (the lavender polenta is what pulled me in really) and hubby went for the escargots and duck. The escargots came out fairly quickly (and he raved about them) but then the wait for the main dishes dragged on for what seemed like forever. Service was really slow but eventually our dishes arrived and we were excited at the gorgeous presentation on our plates. Digging in, hubby was very disappointed. The duck was tough and not very flavorful unlike the rave reviews. My shank was good (not great) and the lavendar polenta was very interesting (the highlight of the meal). As we quickly discovered in the South of France, portions are generally humungous and it was the same at Frog so both of us ended up leaving about half our plates. We were not too impressed with our food in general so we chose not to go for dessert. Overall, my general feeling is meh. The above cost 50 euros (one starter and two mains) so I'll leave it to you to decide if it's considered pricey (I think so..). Pros: Lavender polenta Escargots Cons: Service very slow Expensive for what you get compared to other places in the area Main dishes are so-so read more

The best meal I had in nice! The frog legs were amazing. I wish I had a restaurant that would compare in Chicago. I would go often. I highly recommend. The service and the food were fantastic. I would recommend to buy a la carte menu items instead of going with the 3 course meal that most restaurants advertise. Try as many items as possible you won't be disappointed. read more

We had an excellent meal and a very enjoyable evening at Frog. The food was among the most creative that we had in Nice and was prepared and presented very well. The service was attentive but not obtrusive, and the staff were very friendly. I would definitely return. read more
