    Penne Arrabiata
    Sampath D.

    The first restaurant we went to Nice and overall we were pretty disappointed. The service was extremely bad. We did not get any food (even the complimentary bread) until about 35 minutes in and we had to check in 3 or 4 times. We also ran out of water multiple times and never got waited on to get more water. I ordered a platter of the Honey and Goat Cheese crostini and another platter of the Tomato and Burrata. the Tomato and Burrata were really really good - very crisp and tasty and the burrata was on point. The Honey and Goat Cheese I didn't like as much - it was too sweet and did not mix at all with the cheese at all. For the main course, I ordered the Penne Arrabiata and didn't like it at all. It was so spicy that the spice overcame the taste of the pasta sauce. It was a little better with parmesan cheese, but we had to ask a few times for that too. Overall the food was a 3/5 stars but the service knocked it down to 2/5 stars - seems like there might be better places around that area.

    Wonderful dessert to top a great meal!

    Amazing food and great service! Highly recommend it. Italian waiter was very good with my family.

    How can you not like a salad like this!

    I had one of the best salads ever in this place. It had salmon, scallops lots of greens a tad of caviar and a light and delicious sauce. The service was very good and I was able to get into a fun conversation with a couple of the restaurant workers. I would come back!

    Drinks and dinner!

    The best restaurant on our European vacation! Food and Service were amazing for breakfast and dinner. Definitely a must! Steak au-povire was amazing! Meat and cheese trays off the chain! Shout out to Michael and Alan!

    Le Cocodile was amazing! Great place for vegetarian options. We ordered the crostini, pasta, and dessert and they not disappoint! The food came out at a reasonable pace and the pricing is decent for being in such nice area! Great view of the beach and water!

    Salmon salad was amazing... large enough to share for lunch. Risotto was good but was surprised it was in a marinara sauce.

    Very kind service- the kind that makes you feel like you are at home! I had the ceviche which was delicious and just the right amount.

    Great meal in France!…read more This was a fantastic first dinner in Nice right off the main drag. We had reservation for 7pm and arrived a few minutes early. We waited a few minutes while they prepped our table and we were seated promptly. The vibe was cool, very French cafe feeling on the streets. The waiters were kind and attentive was you settled in. They patiently answered all our menu questions. We ordered the fois gras (because when in France), the duck and the octopus. All the food was excellent, the fois gras was perfect (although probably wouldn't order it again for ethical reasons). The octopus was absolutely perfect, very very easy to screw up, but they nailed it; every bit melting in our mouths. The duck breast was perfect, juicy and cooked to perfect. All the dishes were served with plenty of accompaniment. Great meal for a great French experience. Would highly recommend.

    Walked over from a nearby hotel and grabbed a table by myself along the busy street. The servers…read morewere very friendly and spoke English well. It happened to be happy hour so I was able to take advantage of some great drink deals. For my dinner, I ordered the duck with vegetables, potatoes, and added a side of ratatouille. It was all very good and the portions were large for the price. The orange sauce was unique and it seemed to have orange peels in it as well. While this might be more of a touristy spot with this location, it was a true French menu, which was my goal. The food and service were very good and I'll come back.

    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.
