    All the seafood things
    Meri S.

    I came to L'Antica for dinner solo on my last night in Nice. My hotel recommended it when I wanted seafood nearby without a reservation. At first they said they were fully booked, but someone kindly let me sit at a large table and took great care of me. I had the seafood platter with octopus, salmon, razor clams, and gambas and it was amazing. I started with a glass of Prosecco and ended up ordering a bottle. When a large party arrived, he moved me outside with no problem. To top it off, he gave me a limoncello shot and even introduced me to everyone as his friend, which was hilarious. Truly an amazing experience.

    Small cozy place in the center of Nice. They specialize in meats. The cooking process is a spectacle in itself. The service was very friendly and quick. Highly recommend not missing this place when coming to Nice.

    This was the meat for 2! Lamb chops, pork chops and ribs eye.

    Overall a good experience and I would come back. The only bad thing really was the sitting space, it was crammed. The food was really tasty and prepared well. The service was nice, especially for non French speakers, the staff was friendly and helped with a lot of the translation.

    It's a must go for meat eaters! Absolutely delicious cuts. Honest, clear tastes. Would definitely go back! The waitress was really quick!

    It seems to be misleading by the Yelp reviews here. Although the portion is good and the decors are nice, the food is not nearly good. For a place with a BBQ oven and open fire, I would expect the meat to be perfect. However, the ribeye I got was half over cooked and under seasoned. The fries that came along was soggy. The wine glass was dirty and chipped. Although I would say the salad and pasta seemed to look better. Additionally, the lack of desert choice was another miss.

    Sometimes smaller neighborhood restaurants are wonderful. Such is the case with L' Antica in the Musiciens area of Nice. It is a small local restaurant with an excellent grill that makes great beef, lamb, and duck dishes. If you go, get the French fries, they are the best I have had in Nice. We asked, and they are cooked in safflower oil, but they are very crispy and rich. I also had the mixed vegetables which are also wonderful. Get a reservation in the outside terrace, otherwise you will be squeezed in between other tables inside, which can be warm because of the interior grill. Any of the grilled meats are wonderful. I am in Nice for another month, staying in the Musiciens neighborhood and will definitely be returning to L' Antica.

    Grande portion de nourriture.

    Amazing food. Stumbled on this place. Probably the best meal we had in Nice. Pasta was superb as was the Chicken.

    “So happy that prime rib was on the menu, but when I ordered it, it came more of a rib eye which is typically my favorite.”

    La Grande Cave is a winestore where you can enjoy your bottle as it is or togother with light food…read more Selection of wines is small, but good. They have everything from full bodied red wines, whites, rosé and Champagne. You buy the bottle in the store. If you would like to enjoy the bottle at La Grande Cave or just have a glass of the bottle, corkage is €8. The light food is well presented, is of high quality and is very individual depending on the waiter. One dish can be garnished with paprika and strawberries by one and with tomatoes by another. Interesting and authentic! You can also buy wine by the glass. They have red/white/rosé of the day for about €8 with higher quality than neighboring restaurants. The winestore/bar has about 6 small tables in a steep alley located in central Villefranche. During high season there is a calm flow of people strolling by. The environment is beautiful with a glimpse of the harbour. This is a perfect place to enjoy a glass of wine before dinner. Maybe buy a bottle, have a glass of it and finish it with dinner at home or at a restaurant nearby?

    Avoid this place -- blatant discrimination based on nationality "Fully booked for 'foreign,' wide…read moreopen once she heard 'New York' -- we're both, and she couldn't handle it" We had a lovely first visit Friday night: great food (salami, escargots), warm service, a table for 4. We loved it enough to want to return Saturday. My dad stopped by Saturday to make a reservation and was told they were fully booked. Shortly after, I called from my US phone number not on purpose. The moment the owner saw the New York area code, her tone completely changed -- she was thrilled, saying "Bonjour New York, can't wait to see you," and made sure we had a table. When we arrived that evening, the same woman recognized me immediately as part of the Romanian family she'd turned away that afternoon. Her face fell. She turned to her colleague and had us seated at a cramped table at the very end -- despite the reservation being for 4 and my name already written down for the good table she'd set aside for "New York." There is no version of this that isn't about where she thought we were from. The only thing that changed between "fully booked" and a warm welcome was a US phone number, and the only thing that changed between that welcome and a bad table was seeing our faces. By that point I was too unsettled to even touch the drink I'd ordered -- we just paid and left. Genuinely one of the most uncomfortable, humiliating experiences I've had at a restaurant. Do not go here.
