La Trinquette's owner actively supports local folk and jazz bands and strives to give them wider visibility. And oh yeah, the food. I love their mussels (Moules) and thought I would never order anything else on the menu. During our last visit the server encouraged my wife and I to try their signature dish, the whole fish. Although I could not understand her description in French I could see her enthusiasm for this dish, and enthusiasm does not require a translation! So we both ordered the whole fish. I'm originally from Seattle and now live in San Diego so I've eaten quite a bit of seafood. Honest folks my wife and I rated this as our favorite fish dinner, ever! Lastly, La Trinquette sits quietly, somewhat undiscovered alongside Villefranche marina. The main tourist zone and train station are east of the castle. La Trinquette is just west of the castle. Although easy walking distance most tourists don't venture past the castle. Better for me as I can dine with the locals!

It was a great experience and we would all return and recommend this restaurant!

I've traveled the world over and have met many a barkeep. This refined gentleman makes the trip worthwhile as he oversees the bar area and pours a delicious drink- all the while making interesting and polite conversation with old world elegance. If you are looking for the slick modernism of a Four Seasons or a Mandarin Oriental, La Voile D'Or is not for you. But our older and charming room with views off the sea were just what made us very sorry to leave. Each day my wife and I tumbled out of bed and down to the stunning pool area where we were greeted by Muriel, Catharine and Isabel who reserved the best chaise lounges for us to gaze at the ocean, enjoy an impeccable lunch, and slip into the sea while ordering off of the refreshing cocktail menu. Such hospitality and service is a hallmark of this gorgeous jewel on the ocean and I hope I return at every opportunity. What a treat! Thank you to the gracious staff that made our trip so memorable each day. Absolutely the best!

First off, let me say: I'm an Idiot for going in there in the first place... run down, waiters in dirty t-shirts, shabby interior... Literally every other Restaurant has nice looking staff, white tablecloths etc... When I needed a few more seconds to decide on what would be the least of the evils on the menu, the waiter actually said 'ok, I'll come back next week'. Aaaalright. Then there was an amuse-bouche... onion pizza, which wouldn't have looked very appetizing WITHOUT the Bitemarks(photo) - serving as a stern reminder that we shouldn't throw something out just because the last guest/waiter had a little nibble... Yeah, at that point it was damage control, don't get sick... Of course the changed side didn't arrive with the main course of grilled-to-death freeze-dried fish and the Scallops on the Nuked Risotto(ish Substance) were raw and therefore, at least at this fine establishment, less than trustworthy. When I asked for the side he yelled 'you still want that?!' and sure as S+@#! it popped up on our Check at the end... the guy was obviously very used to not giving a shit after people didn't like the food, so I didn't go down that particular road. I couldn't help but admire the sheer joy the staff seemed to feel punking the guests. Try to Avoid being on the receiving end, though. My Tip: Pick one of the places on either side. You'll pay more, but that buys you the entertainment of watching the poor guys suffer on the other side.

This isn't just any seaside restaurant. It's perched dramatically on top of a rock at the end of an old diving platform, a relic from the late 19th century when locals and high-society travelers would dive into the sea from a wooden pavilion built right above the water. Back then, this was the place to see and be seen along the Riviera. The elegant "plongeoir" (literally, "the diving board") was restored into the restaurant it is today, keeping that same spirit of Riviera glamour -- just with better food and no one belly-flopping into the sea. We were seated right on the lower terrace -- basically on the rock itself -- for our 1:30 p.m. reservation, ocean spread wide before us. It's a two-hour slot, but it felt timeless. Below, swimmers and snorkelers floated lazily, while sailboats, skulls, and the occasional motorized surfboard skimmed across the glittering blue water. The Mediterranean really does know how to show off. We started with an octopus salad that was tender and smoky, and zucchini flowers so delicate they almost felt like a sin to eat. For the main, fresh sea bass -- perfectly crisped skin, soft flaky center -- and for dessert, a white chocolate mousse and strawberry tart that pretty much ruined all future desserts for me. The service was warm and unpretentious, the kind where you feel like you've been coming there for years. Honestly, it was probably the best meal we've had in Nice -- maybe anywhere. (And that's saying something; my all-time greats include a cowboy ribeye and a swordfish steak, both thanks to dear friends from the Tournament of Roses/Rose Bowl days.) When the bill came -- 221 euros -- it felt like the price of a memory, not a meal. I sat there a little too long, full, happy, and reluctant to leave that perfect spot on the sea. One day, we'll be back.
