    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.

    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.

Maybe not fair for them, but on our previous night, the previous chicken dinner was 5 stars for her. I got the beef stew over gnocchi. Not bad, but even for a light eater, it was NOT enough food for me?!?! Got a glass of Bordeaux which was good, until I noticed the locals got twice as generous of a pour?!? The second time I noticed this while dining out... Happy for them, but to see the inconsistency affects me... Ambiance - Small local business/restaurant. Prime tourist location/area. Plenty of both indoor and outdoor seating. One unisex toilet. Service - Welcoming. Made online reservations, but because we are NOT tech savvy, it booked the wrong time. So since we were in the area, we just walked by and asked them to change the time and had no problems. Price - 49 Euros, $57 USD. Expensive for what we got IMO. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success.

    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.

    An amazing, unexpected meal…read more We didn't even have a reservation, but somehow got super lucky just walking in. My friend who made our itinerary had this place on the list of places to eat at, but we didn't have a resy so we didn't have our hopes up. It was fairly late when we walked by. I saw a pretty big crowd outside, shockingly mostly Americans. We put our name in and less than 5 mins later we got seated - ahead of people who were there before us. They led us to a sorta corner table, overlooking the kitchen. We got to watch the talented chefs do work all night. The smells coming from the kitchen honestly got me feeling wild thoughts. Like damn. For some reason we all decided to do a la carte. Maybe because it was late. Someone got risotto, I got the pork chop and the other got lamb. We all loved what we got, but agreed that mine was the best. This is the kind of place that would be my go to spot if I lived here. Awesome vibes, innovative food and overall great atmosphere

We asked for the dessert menu, but they told us that they needed to turn over the table within 10 minutes so we could not have dessert and had to get the check. I have never had an experience like this before in ANY country. Clearly they are a tourist trap and they just want to turn over tables. If you would like a real French experience, stay far away. We live in Nice and I've never had service like this. I would like to give this restaurant, the worst review of my life.
