    Appetizer-local special of onions on bread and olives.

    We eat here every fall when we are in town and the food and service is always good. Recommend a reservation even at lunch. We love the clams with linguine and the burrata mozzarella and tomato salad. Definitely a great restaurant in a great spot. Very reasonable prices for Nice too!!!

    Mushroom & ham pizza. Excellent.

    Excellent pizza & salad. Ordered the mushroom, ham, etc pizza. Enough to share. The server brought a bottle of oil with spices to drizzle on the pizza. It was DELICIOUS!! The salad was Nicoise with Tuna. Very good with olive oil & balsamic dressing. Our Hôtel recommend this restaurant. We will go again!

    We found this place by accident in the afternoon period when most restaurants along the riviera close between lunch and dinner. We didn't expect much since it's in a very touristy area in old town, but we found the food to be delicious. They had s fes vegetarian options. We ended up splitting a pizza and mozzarella do búfala salad, both were incredibly fresh and delicious. The service was very friendly as well and like most restaurants along this street, the patio was super cute

    Not giving 5 stars because they have to have something to thrive for. The pizzas are really good, the fried calamari is awesome. Great staff, very friendly, would recommend.

    We got a table in the middle of the road outside of the restaurant - and we thought that the waiter will forget us amongst the crowd. Surprisingly, he was attentive, did not get our order wrong, and took care of us. The lamb here was heavenly and the fish soup was good too. I had the fixed price menu that I had 4 choices each for a 2 course meal (plus one desert). The price was more than reasonable. Good food, good atmosphere, and good price - how can you beat that! PS. the wine is cheaper than coke... go for the wine!

    Stuffed vegetables. Very good!

    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.
