    Puff pastry with cheese
    Samuel P.

    Read the good reviews on here, and given that it was just down the road, decided to give it a go. Originally tried coming by for lunch, but like a lot of places close by, even the opening hours posted appeared arbitrary at best, and they were closed (even though the lunch hours said otherwise), so had to come by for dinner instead. It's a pretty small place, and from the fact that all tables inside were already reserved, even close to opening, quite popular. Us and other tourists who came in after us had to be sat close together in the canopy outside. The servers here were friendly in explaining the menu, and bringing the food, although you do get the feeling of being rushed by the time you reach dessert, as other potential patrons may wait outside for a place, which does ruin the dining experience a bit, but is understandable. As for the food they have a set limited two or three course menu which you select amongst the categories. I had a puff pastry with cheese in the interior for a starter, and a braised beef with potatoes for an entrée. They tasted delicious, and were presented quite well, but the portion sizes are a tad on the small size in my opinion. So yeah this place may be worth a go, but try and get a reservation beforehand for a better experience. J'ai lu les autres critiques ici, et parce qu'il était très proche de moi, nous avons décidé de tenter pour le déjeuner. Mais malheureusement, ils étaient fermés, malgré le fait que leurs heures d'ouverture ont dit autrement. Alors, nous devions revenir pour le dîner. C'est vachement petit - et étant donné que les tables à l'intérieur étaient toutes réservées quand nous sommes arrivés, très populaire. Nous, et les autres touristes qui sont arrivés après nous, avons dû placer dans un canopée à l'extérieur. Les serveurs avaient été utiles pour expliquer le menu, et apporter les plats, mais il y a un air de pression quand vous avez atteint le dessert, car d'autres clients peuvent attendre une table. Ça ruine l'expérience un peu, mais je le comprend. Pour la nourriture, ils avaient chaque jour un menu fixe, que vous choisissez de chaque catégorie. Pour l'entrée j'ai pris une pâtisserie avec des fromages à l' intérieur, et un boeuf braisé avec des pommes pour le plat principal. Ils ont goûté délicieux, mais à mon avis, la taille des portions est une peu petite. Alors ce restaurant vaut la peine d'essayer, mais essayez d'obtenir une réservation pour une plus meilleure expérience.

    Escargots!

    A great dinner! 4.25 I'm glad we found this place as there are so many restaurants around. We did the pre-fix for the appetizer and entree. Escargot with pastry was 5 stars. It was just packed with flavor and covered with flakey pastry. The lamb appetizer was good, although nothing memorable.. A lamb spring roll. The fish two ways was brilliant. Flavor and consistency was flying high. The broccoli was delicious. The duck with potato was good, although nothing noteworthy. The waiter gave some people some terrine on the house and others not, which is why I'm not giving them five stars. The rosè was great!

    Lovely place and the staff is super welcoming but to be honest, it was not that special. The food was delicious but not that unique and I did not feel like it was the best I ever had. We arrived without a reservation on a Monday night which was good and the waiter spoke excellent English although the area is quite touristy and there were many like us. The menu was mixed feelings to be honest, the actual French food like duck foie gras and lamb were ok (not great), where salmon sashimi and risotto which are not necessarily French were amazing... But hey, nice place for a date at a reasonable price.

    Beef Stew that was amazing!
    Rachel L.

    Amazing food that should not be missed when in Nice. Flavourful, presented well and service was engaging. After we selected our food we asked for a wine recommendation and it was spot on. A great local place where you can really enjoy the food and your evening!

    We stumbled onto this place while traversing the tourist madness in Vieux Nice - how fortunate we were that we were able to slip in for dinner 30 minutes later.

    I came here 2 nights in a row. First solo, and then with friends because I'd enjoyed it so much…read more Firstly, the atmosphere is lovely. The restaurant has a humble exterior (largely blocked by gelato customers), but once you descend the stairs into the dining area you are in a sheek, romantic, cellar. Intimately small but comfortable. The walls are lined with stone and endless wine bottles. The starters were all quite good. We had the snails, squid, and cheese plait. As a bonus, my waitress recommended an excellent wine to pair with the squid. It was spot on. My group shared the beef and tartafelle (forgive my spelling). The beef was succulent, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. I had no idea what to expect with the second dish but it was delicious and I would certainly order again. The prior night, I had the bakes camembert when eating solo. The dish is exactly as described. It's tasty, but I'd recommend it for a group since eating an entire block of melted cheese solo is challenging. Last but not least, the wait staff were wonderful! We really enjoyed chatting with our 2 waitresses, who went out of their way to make sure we enjoyed ourselves and our election of drinks. As a tourist, you really hope to stumble on a gem like this were the locals charm you and really guide your dining experience. If ever back in Nice, i'll certainly go again!

    Came here dinner. A bit hard to find as an underground restaurant. Pure French restaurant. Limited…read moremenu and they only except cash. Also note there is no cell service or WiFi service in the restaurant. Nice ambiance in the restaurant and away from the hustle and bustle of Nice. We ordered the squid, Foie Gras and Filet Mignon. All 3 were very good though I am not a fan of the Fois Gras but it came with a nice salad and bread. The squid was seasoned well and cut thin and flash fried. The filet was sliced and cooked perfect The potatoes were great and also nice salad came with it. Service was ok. Prices Moderate.

    This was our favorite meal of our trip to Nice!…read more Warning: Reservations are hard to come by we dropped by and only reservations available were for 9pm two nights later. We took it. The place is super relaxed. 5 maybe 6 tables which made the difficulty of reservations more understandable. Prix fix menu - 4 appetizers to choose from, 4 entrees and 4 desserts. We were there with somewhat of a limited diet, but the options were awesome. We got a cauliflower appetizer and an artichoke one. Both were excellent. We all had the cod for dinner also delicious - served in a bath of traditional fish soup and with potatoes. The dessert was also excellent - we got the goat cheese in olive oil and garlic, the cream cheese with blueberry compote, lemon cheesecake and cinnamon "tiramisu". Every bite was full of flavor and such cool takes on the food. Now the intangibles - we arrived for our 9pm reservation, restaurant closes at 9:30 and we probably didn't walk out until 11:15 and there was still another table of 8 people dining. The host/waiter, Sebastian, was awesome. So friendly and we at no point felt rushed. In fact the opposite. When our daughter was slow in finishing her meal he joked with her instead of hurrying us along. Once we finished our main dish, he casually brought us our dessert and because we didn't order his favorite (we didn't know) he brought us out an extra to enjoy. We felt a little bad so somewhat accelerated the dessert phase so we could square up and leave. Instead he was unhurried, he casually cleared our table and chatted with us for a bit. It took us another 15 minutes before we finally said could we get the bill. He brought it to us another 5-7 minutes later. We had a great experience and one of our best meals in France, if not the best.

    I really want to love this place: it has such an intimate feel and just screams Nice. But I've been…read morehere a few times and each time the food has been between OK and good, but nothing particularly memorable. With that said, at €20 this is excellent value for money. Overall, I'd say the food is a 3.5/5 but the value is 5/5. I'd recommended Chez Palmyre if you want a real Nice experience, especially on a budget. Be sure to make a reservation well in advance.
