    We found this restaurant on trip advisory. This place really made our night in Nice. It's located in the beautiful old town area. They have the option of ordering from the regular menu or prix menu. The type of food is Corsican which is super tasty! We loved the risotto and lamb. And the Nutella dessert was mouth watering! I would def visit this restaurant again. The arugula salad was hands down the best salad I had on our entire vacation. Pros Takes reservations Cute outdoor seating Delicious menu Great service Reasonable prices (by France standards)

    Cute spot with lots of outdoor seating in a picturesque small street in Nice. Service was very friendly, and food was good. I got the large burrata salad, which was delicious, and my friend got the fish stew which she said was very good. Our other friend ordered the gnocchi but they came back and said they were all out, so she got the risotto with basil foam instead, which was surprisingly good (we had never heard of basil foam before but it was interesting!). We also got the bon Mille feuille for dessert which was like crisp wafers with a delicious cream and caramel. A beautiful spot to hang out with friends and enjoy a glass of wine on a warm evening in nice. Highly recommend!

    Mouthwatering lamb shank with mashed potato! Very tasty

    Food, service, ambiance, wine is outstanding!!!! It's a little hidden in one of the less travelled streets in Old Town Nice but definitely a must try! Had dinner and enjoyed everything the staff recommended. Get the fix menu if you like choices, it's absolutely worthwhile!!!

    Great little spot for dinner. There is a set 30euro option which featured a few options for each a starter, main and dessert. Service was attentive, the recommendations was sincere. It was a little quiet at first then after about 30 minutes, the tables were filled up. At the end we couldn't really make up our minds on a dessert, we understand minimal french. The server did his best to get the right dish for us and the souffle was great. Thanks for a great night.

    Very good Enjoyed every dish Risotto with prawns outstanding Rack of lamb superb Desert great Buratta and tomatoes salad the best.

    Joby tries the beef filet. Great veggies on this "play" as well.

    This is a hidden gem. Unassuming with amazing daily specials and a few southern French staples forming the back bone of a great menu. Service is attentive and helpful with recommendations and informative descriptions of many dishes. We had the beef filet and gnocchi and each was delicious. We will be back on our next Nice weekend.

    We were lucky enough to get a seat at this place, it was on the outside table so it was dreadfully cold as it was the 4th December 2015 in the middle of winter. We managed to eat the first course outside. It was a wonderful mushroom pasta dish with a parmaham mousse which was just so delicious and delicate. We got our main meal but by this time myself and my friend could barely feel our fingers anymore and asked to be moved inside, the staff were ever so helpful and found us a seat almost immediately when saw how cold we looked. We got a lovely little spot that was so warm and comfortable and we were able to finish our main course inside. I went with the lamb shank with mashed potato as the photos I saw from previous guests showed how amazing it looked. I went for the tart for dessert which by this time I could have rolled out the door I was so full, it was probably one of the best meals I've had in a long time. Yes as a lot of other people have said the place is somewhat hard to find but it's certainly worth the effort and try and get a reservation if you can apparently upto a week in advanced. It's also a wonderful location if you are looking to celebrate a special occasion while you are staying or just visiting Nice.

    Very very good. We went without reservation and we had place only inside. The atmosphere was cozy and very nice! The food was tasty and enough for dinner! I am not a fan of duck, but this one was full of flavors! We could not take the dessert because we were full. Not to cheap:))) Love it! Thanks the yelp community for the reviews!

    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!

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.
