Excellent service and food here. We made reservations ahead of time because of the reviews and were very 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. read more

We dined at L'Octopussy on our first night in Nice. The staff here all speak wonderful English, and provided excellent, very friendly service throughout our meal :-) On the whole, the food was very good as well. 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. read more

Extremely dissatisfied with the inattentive service from a waitress who had absolutely no idea what it is to be a waitress. Sat down at 845 for a 9 o'clock reservation. She was not able to articulate what was on the menu, never offered water which we asked for twice. Finally ordered around 930......at 1030 1/2 our table was served. I asked the manager what was taking so long .......his reply was "I'm sorry" the waitress came back and told us they were out of the food we ordered and to see if we wanted to continue with something else. We decided that we were hungry and waited an extra 45 minutes....she then came back to the table and said that they made a mistake and we would have to reorder but it would be free. Not a chance......we went across the street to the Greek place, was served delicious food in 5 minutes with a smile. Should definitely have gone there first. !! read more

Fun little spot close to the water. I had the pasta which was pretty good. Service can be a little slow during the busy hours but still worth a visit. The bread that came with my meal was fantastic. read more

The tuna and the service were so good that we had to come back for another meal before our vacation ended. read more

Great service, friendly staff and really good food! Octopus salad is done just right, preserving true taste of it. Other food is equally as good. read more

The gnocchi with salmon and asparagus was like a dream - a delicious South of France dream. We were fortunate that this place was a quick find when we Yelped seafood restaurants in walking distance of our Airbnb. Low and behold, there was L'Octopussy. We were seated outside where we could enjoy the warm air and be right in the action of all of the people cruising by the patio. The wine we shared was delicious and elegantly displayed at our table. I remember just how happy I was with the food. Like - really happy. When we visit again, I will gladly eat here again. read more

L'Octopussy - Corsican Near Me - Nice, 06

Would have given five stars, but the consistency was off and the artichokes in the salad were bitter and inedible. Then was overcharged for an extra glass of champagne. The first bread was amazing, warm and flakey, best I have had in France! But the second was hard and cold, weird. The fish was great, even though there was roe in it. The desert presentation was great but the taste was rather bland. There was no tartness of raspberry nor sweetness from chocolate. Service was very nice even though nobody asked why we did not touch the artichokes and no real appolgies for the error in the check. read more

I have never been to a restaurant with food this good that was concomitantly so nice to our son. I would 100 percent go here again by the way with just my wife -- it's just that there are lots of children in the SE of France and many restaurants are much less accommodating. There were multiple children in the restaurant and everyone was super pleasant the whole time because the kids were so well entertained. The staff made us feel immediately comfortable, and we ended up taking about 6 seats for just 2 adults and one infant although the place was packed! They brought our son a high chair and a mini car, they had cool art and awesome music. The food was amazing -- I had the special, with was shrimp, swordfish, and tuna all on a bed of sautéed vegetables. Fantastic. My wife had the sea bass which was also very good. If you have kids and love good food, you'd be challenged to find a better place to eat. read more

Very nice night out in Nice. Enjoyed the octopus salad and the fish. Husband had the pasta with prawns. Nice quality food and good service. read more

We had a terrific octopus dinner here and highly recommend if you are in the area. Very fresh octopus and great service.

Wow, yum, charming, inviting and amazing! Our last night in Nice and we decided to walk down the street and check out L'Octopussy. We were created by a friendly staff that spoke great English and was very attentive. The waitress was lovely and she was a true professional, making amazing suggestions and going out of her way to make us feel at home. The food was the best we have had all week and to top it off they had an amazing three piece band playing both American and French contemporary songs. The singer was incredible. A fun romantic night with the best food and service in Nice! Merci' L'Octopussy! read more

Very busy, but very friendly staff. Many local customers and also international. I had a grilled filet de boeuf which was cooked at perfection. The vegetable from the Wok was very tasty as well. Good wine list, I had Corsian red wine by the glass. The seafood also looks very tempting. Tonight they offered Linguine and lobster as a special. read more

We have visited here twice despite we are only staying in Nice a week. It's got great atmosphere, delicious seafood, and even some non seafood items. I had the best caprese salad I've ever tasted here. The cheese was so creamy and delicious. I'd highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants a pleasant time. read more

An absolutely phenomenal ambiance. The waitstaff were so delightfully pleasant. I was surprised to find the place dog friendly. It definitely made my night when I noticed a woman whom I am possibly erroneously assuming was the owner, delight in the arrival of her dog. The food was insanely good. My girlfriend had the duck and I had the beef with peppercorn sauce. The meet was so well prepared that as my knife hit the top of it, I instantly knew I could cut through it like butter. Well seasoned and well presented. Solid menu. Nice wine selection. I really enjoyed my experience here and will certainly be back when in Nice again. Thanks for a great meal. Our waitress, a young blond woman, was fantastic. Special thanks to her. read more

We had a great meal at L'Octopussy. The portions are large so order accordingly, but the food is well prepared and creative. The owner is very active and makes sure that he has good presence in the kitchen and with customers. I had the seafood risotto, which was excellent. My wife had the tuna tataki, which was absolutely divine. This was clearly one of my top three experiences in Nice, along with Chez Palmyre and Frog. I will return. read more

Amazing food and service! Had the first dinner of our honeymoon here and I'm not sure we can top it. The beef was perfect, the linguini and prawns were wonderful and I couldn't ask for better service. We will be back! read more

Had a great meal at this restaurant. The owner was very friendly and came to our table to great us and welcome us. Only issue we had is the drinks were a bit slow getting to the table and you can't get drunk if you have to wait for your drinks. LOL. Otherwise the food was good. The Lamb was the best. read more

Giving one star was generous. The food was great but the service was AWFUL. The owner made fun of our French and was laughing at us with the other customers. He would also leer at women who were walking by the restaurant. A total pig. read more

Very good pasta, unique and tasty sauce which isn't too heavy. Also had the muscles, very tasty and juicy. Service is welcoming and warm, not like the usual French restaurant. read more

Possibly our best meal to date in France. After 3 days in Paris and 7 in Provence we declared tonight that this was the best. We had pasta and prawns, fresh fish (he fileted it at our table so my friend wouldn't have to deal with bones and head), lamb shank and grilled squid (huge pieces). Everyone was raving about the plats and the accompanying veggies and potatoes. Just a block off the promenade. I may have to go back to have the Octopus salad. read more

Wow what a fantastic restaurants. We really enjoyed the food. It was fantastic and the lam was outstanding. We recommend this fantastic restaurant. read more

Overpriced tourist trap. Tables very noisy on the street. Starters start at 20 eur which is significantly above prices of comparable restaurants in the neighborhood without a good reason read more

This was one of mine and my husband's favorite dining experiences in Nice!! It has a nice area for dining outside. The mushroom Risotto was amazing!! read more

Excellent food and ambience -the scallop risotto and mussels in wine were fantastic. Lively and friendly atmosphere-the owner goes out of his way to make sure you have a good time! read more

To start, the food here was AMAZING. If the waiter knew you needed anything they were very attentive, but we were there for a substantial amount of time. The wine selection was amazing, and the owner (Oliver) made an extraordinary effort to communicate with us about the daily specials despite him acknowledging his difficulties with english vocabulary. The meat and gnocchi specialty was ASTOUNDING and my husband's whole sea bass was amazing as well and extraordinarily fresh. We were very pleased and hope to return here on another trip! read more
