    The airbnb host sent us here. For 21 Euro, which is the equivalent of $23, you get a starter, an entree (huge in portion, as it turned out), and a dessert. You can also just order a single dish here and there, but seeing that we don't come to Nice for Nicoise dishes often, we did the prix fixe menu. Nicoise fish stew to start. It's fishy and tomato based, unlike the Norwegian fish stew, which is cream based. The main courses were lamb with mash or fish served on a bed of nicoise olive and tomato vegetable tapenade, very tasty. The fish was quite tender and fresh. The third and final course is chocolate tart, fruit salad or ice cream. It's a nice surprise because the upstairs is very white table linen and downstairs more casual like a tea room. The dishes are very good though I don't believe that it needs not to be a three euro sign next to it, it's quite affordable, and a good value if you ask me. The lamb is very flavorful and huge in size. The killer is the hamburger, it's not just a hamburger patty, it's actually chopped up beef, made into a patty and cooked up fresh, served medium rare. You just don't see that anywhere in the States any more, unless you are taken to Peter Luger, that's the last time I've had a burger that was this fresh, until now. The drinks are of course very good. I had a Nicoise rose for 4 Euro, or $4.36 a glass. It's unheard of in America, one can easily triple that price to order a glass of rose in San Francisco, such is the state of being. The notion of French cuisine is expensive is an outdated one. As I've learned it over and over again, food in France is good, and price is medium. An average meal is often better than most French food I've had in San Francisco, though that level of comparison is simply not fair. The service is very good in Nice in general. The server we had spoke good English and he was attentive and extremely hardworking. I know there are many other restaurants on Yelp that garnishes great reviews in Nice, but when in Rome, or in this case, when in Nice, get Nicoise cuisine instead. This is one such spot. And a great value restaurant to boot. Cannot be better.

    Tart of the day

    Charming brasserie in Nice. We chose the prix fixe Nicois menu for 21.50 euros and were served complimentary crostini with an amazing tapenade. This was followed by our starters- grilled pepper with salad and fish stew with more crostini. The fish stew had a wonderful umami flavor- could not stop eating it and sopped up every ounce with any bread available. The main dishes of lemon sea bream and gnocchi with beef stew were equally delicious. The lemon cream highlighted the flavors of the perfectly cooked fish. The gnocchi beef stew was hearty and a true comfort food. The desserts: coffee and pistachio ice cream and pear tarte were a simple, but delicious end to a great meal. One of the best meals I've had in France. Service was also excellent. Staff was friendly, attentive, and English friendly.

    Fine frugal dining? Oui! Prix fixe menu for 22 euros that includes an appetizer, soup, salad, entrée and dessert all for a set price per person?? Can't get better value than that! Our reservation was for 7pm on a Tuesday night. They gave us any seating we wanted and we choose the outside patio for that picturesque French ambiance. My wife and I shared each other's prix fixe items to try as many things possible. The fish stock soup and pate to spread on toasted baguette was one of the best things I've had in.my.entire life! Might have to include that in my last prix fixe meal on death row. Wife got the sea bream fillet with lemon cream and I got beef gnocchi. The portions were outrageously generous. I wish I had a fridge and microwave at the hotel so that I can take it home. The sea bream was seared and seasoned to perfection. The fish was moist and not dry. The beef gnocchi was cooked al dente with a bite to it and the beef sauce was rich and well "beefy". It was good but it was just too much and too heavy at the end. The dessert we got was light and fresh which was perfect after a heavy meal. We got ice cream and a pear tart. Fresh ingredients make for the perfect dessert. The tart was like an apple pie but with pear instead and it worked well. The coffee ice cream had bits of chocolate coffee beans for a nice crunch in each spoonful of helping. Our server was nice and patient with our English speaking ways. A nice restaurant in Nice, France. What else can I say? au revoir! Miss it already :(

    Duo de pâte

    Nice atmosphere in a good location, lots of outdoor seating available. I sat inside, which had a kind of chic, upscale feel to it. The waitstaff were friendly and nice. I got the galette - artichoke salad on socca (which is like a chickpea crepe) - which was awesome. For my main dish I chose the Duo de Pâte, which was just OK. The truffle linguine was quite good but the penne with foie gras was boring - it only had a couple of tiny pieces of foie gras. For dessert I had the tiramisu which was really delicious. It's a great place to go if you're looking for a break from the Old Nice restaurants but it's still pretty close to that area.

    Terrible service, only redeeming quality is their sizable portions of mussels. This made me very sad. Maybe its because we only spoke english, I don't know.

    See all

    I would be remiss if I didn't mention our waiter who seemed to speak 3 languages; French (of course), English, and Italian.
