It is hard for me to give a bad review at a restaurant where I actually didn't eat the food, but…read morethe service was so bad before the food came, we had no desire to stay. I made a reservation for 4 people, but one person in our party was feeling sick so only 3 people showed up. When the waiter (I think he was also the owner) asked us if we wanted wine, we said no and he scoffed at us (perhaps thinking we wouldn't be spending enough money there). Our friend ended up showing up to dinner to say bye to us. He didn't order any food, because he didn't feel well enough to eat. When he told the waiter he wasn't eating, the waiter took his utensils, took his napkin and threw it at me and shoved the bread basket away from him... and this was after the three of us had already ordered food. It was shockingly rude. None of us had ever experienced that before. When we told the waiter we were no longer interested in eating there anymore. He screamed, "We serve food here, you have to buy food. There's pizza down the street!" This was absolutely the weirdest and rudest experience I've ever had in a restaurant. If you read some of the reviews on Trip Advisor, many others have had similar rude experiences too.

And hats off to the owner who literally was the only waiter in the packed little restaurant and was serving the wine, making the espressos, bussing tables, taking orders, making desserts, speaking to each table a bit, having a wonderful attitude, and doing it all in good timing to all the satisfied customers. The chef himself even pitched in with helping serve, totally in sync with the owner. These two amazing guys totally changed my and my wife's perspective about how other restaurants are run - especially when tipping here is more of a courtesy and in the states many restaurants just add 18% on to your bill for gratuity regardless of the service you got. I left the owner just 10 euros and he was so thankful and graciously declined but promised he'd give it to the kitchen staff when we insisted that we just had to appreciate them with a tip. Unreal, awesome, classy, can't wait to return.

However, the restaurant was completely absorbed by their "fame" and forgot to serve a passable dinner. My boyfriend and I paid a premium for: 1) Negligent service (they tried to rush us out of there the minute we sat down, yet took a very long time to bring us our drinks) 2) Overcooked food (we requested medium rare for the salmon and steak. We received well done on both.) 3) Uncomfortable environment (we sat outside, despite requesting indoor dining, where the street was extremely narrow and people were too close for comfort) I will never return and seriously recommend you to avoid this place too! (also I originally thought the vegetable basket was a fun gimmick. But now I regret paying so much money to make my own salad and season the steak myself. I cry.)

Ever so often, a restaurant can truly be called Crème de la Crème, and for our travel through Paris…read moreand Nice this past week, Bistrot Gourmand is truly the best restaurant we've had in France. Tucked in a relatively quiet street (for Nice anyways), Bistrot Gourmand can easily be missed unless you happen to notice 1,100+ highly rated reviews that this gem of a restaurant has garnered. But if you do make it here, you will be treated to not only a culinary euphoria, but also a delightful, memorable service courtesy of the staff led by the Maestro himself, the manager Alex. To start, we noticed that the ambience and the music curated by Alex are different from all the other restaurants we've been to in Paris, Nice, and Monaco. There was an intimate feel that is countered by his fun eclectic musical taste that somehow works together with Alex's charm and bravado to entertain us and other tables (the other two parties were also on first name basis with Alex, as they were returning patrons of the restaurant). After having our orders taken, we were then surprised by our lovely waitress with an off-the-menu presentation of an amuse bouche to whet our appetite for what's to come. It was refreshing and playful. If there was a slight blemish with our meal, it was the Gaspacho de Courgettes (courgette gazpacho with soft-boiled eggs, basil hollandaise, and crispy onion). For my taste, it was a little too polite in flavor and needed the side of housemade brown bread with its slight saltiness to assist it. It was still good, but I would like just a bit more. The good news is that from here on everything it was smooth sailing across our Côte d'Azur of an experience. The wine of choice was Château Malbec Bordeaux, a fantastic red wine with a delicious initial taste and smooth satisfying finish. It was versatile and complimented everyone's dishes. And speaking of dishes, I had the exquisite Linguines à La Crème et Truffe d'été (Linguine with cream and truffle and). Don't let the short description fool you because this dish was heavenly, the kind of dish that makes you close your eyes just you can further savor the delicious flavor and balance of the pasta, the buttery truffle, and surprisingly light Crème sauce that was not heavy on the oil. I simply couldn't get enough with every bite and this is without a doubt my favorite dish from my time in France! If you enjoy beef tartare, you'll definitely enjoy the Tartare de Boeuf, as "prepared with a knife, potatoes with Provencal herbs." Our lovely waitress took tableside center stage as she mixed various ingredients from raw egg and minced raw beef to herbs and Worchister sauce with ease and precision to create a delicious, savory dish full of bold flavors that you can distinctly taste each individual flavor. Finally, the main event arrived upon us as Maestro Alex rolled out his cart to create our dessert, the Crépes Suzette, façon Bistrot Gourmand. This was worth the ticket going in, as the spectacle elevated our dining experience to another level. Pulsed by a mix of a lively music that started with the Rocky theme, Alex really put on a show with panache and enthralling commitment. It was truly a fun spectacle that is best experienced in person. The best part was that the Crépe Suzette was truly magical in its taste. There was sweetness and slight nuttines that paired well together. Since Tour de France 2024 is only a few days away from its Stage 21 finish at Nice, I can confidently say that Bistrot Gourmand is THE summit finish, the culinary highlight of our travels in France. It was the best way we could've ended this last week in France, and it is now the standard that we will judge our foodie experience going forward as we embark into Italy for the next 2 weeks. Florence and Rome have a lot to live of up to now! In the mean time, for any future visits back to Nice, we will definitely dedicate at least one or two dining experience back at Bristot Gourmand. Chapeau Alex and the staff, and hats off to the chef!

BEST CHEF EVER! This…read moreplace is easily the best restaurant I have ever eaten at in my life. The food is always fresh and a dream to the tastebuds of all who get the chance to be served by the master Chef Manfred Haas. The atmosphere is family friendly with an open exchange for talking up a storm. Manfred crafts his meals with a certain passion that seems to be absent from most other culinary "artists" who lack the absolute passion for food that this man has. His menu balances on the art of mystery. The man can cook absolutely anything, and with flavour beyond your wildest imagination. The place is super clean with a rich sense of style. Worth every penny. Your tastebuds will thank you, your tummy will be full and your heart richer.

After strolling along the shopping street, I was walking uphill to look at the castle when I passed Le Relais. I noticed a board on the wall with many notices acclaiming the restaurant (references from the Gault, Michelin, etc). When I peeked inside the restaurant, I noticed the lovely old world decor with lots of white linen and silver ware. For lunch I decided to splurge on the 35 euro prix fixe menu. This included an appetizer, an plat and also dessert. In between course, i got an amuse bouche, a consomme, a sorbet to clean my palate, a small dish with homemade chocolate candy. Everything looked beautiful and tasted delicious. At lunch, I also had a unique experience of sitting in one of the outside terrace tables with a small sliver of view of the harbor and the stream of tourists walking by. This was really different and enjoyable. If you happen to come to Cannes, I highly recommend stopping here at the Le Relais des Semailles. You'll leave with wonderful memories of the food and the experience.
