Our server was very helpful in explaining different choices to us. We ordered a sharing platter of stuffed vegetables which was very nice. We also ordered the French onion soup which was on the salty side and skimped on the cheese. The goat cheese salad was unique but very nice. Unfortunately we have come to the main dishes. Oso buco, linguine wth shrimp and lobster bisque, and duck breast. The oso buco was not edible at all - very fatty, chewy and grissolly. The linguine had 4 shrimp and I was unable to determine if there was lobster present at all. Not sure where the bisque was as it was not evident either. The duck was good but could have been hotter. When we commented on the food - particularly the oso buco - it was said basically that that was the way it is supposed to be. We received a 10% discount and left without dessert or coffee. Disappointed in what we hoped would be a lovely night out to enjoy French cuisine.

It got busy quickly with a waiting list. Prefix dinners - I got the famous chicken and my wife got the fish. It came with a generous appetizer, see pictures. My wife also got the chocolate mousse dessert. Overall the food was okay. My wife's entree was probably the better of the two. Ambiance - Small local restaurant. Tables squeezed next to each other with very little space in between. One unisex restroom. I did not use it, as our hotel was very close. I washed my hands at the hotel before coming here. Service - Okay, not good or bad. Price - 56 Euros, $65 US; expensive for what we got. Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success.

The chicken was so tender and just a burst of flavor in every bite. You can really differentiate the French cooking technique in this dish. The escargot was simple and delicious. Love that they didn't put too much butter and you can really taste the natural flavor of snails. Service was quick and the owner was very personable. Love that this little bistro is located off the beaten path from Old Town. Highly recommend this place if you visit Nice!! This is definitely one of the best French restaurants I've had. Simple yet delish!!

What a fantastic meal! Their menu is written on a chalkboard and while it is not a large menu, everything we had was delicious.

It seems like they only take bookings via phone so you can ask your hotel to help! Anyway, we swung by for lunch and they told us they were fully booked. We asked if we could sit outdoors (it was set up but it had rained in the morning) and they said sure! Food wise, we shared an app, 2 mains and a dessert. The appetizers was Courgette flowers (Zucchini Blossoms) with ricotta cheese inside; there was this acidic mouse in the middle - a very refreshing and delightful dish! I don't see courgette much in the US so I'm glad I tried it. For the mains, we had the local trout and the braised pork cheeks with polenta. The trout was fresh, and paired nicely with a variety of different veggies. The stew was very warm and hearty and also not too salty. For dessert, we tried the tiramisu which was tasty but nothing to write home about. The waitress that served us was very friendly as well! Overall, a fantastic experience. Highly recommend trying it on your trip to Nice :)

We arrived when it opened with reservations at 7 pm. Nobody came to see us for 40 minutes even though a group of waiters were standing and talking to each other. I asked them if any was our waiter and a man named naive said he was. I asked why he wasn't waiting on us and he didn't respond. I told him on the way over to our table that he was not doing a good job. That he shouldn't be standing around talking while customers were waiting. He said I was being "curt". I asked to see the manager and a very young guy came out in a tee shirt. WhenI explained the issue he said he would assign a new waitress. She came out promptly and took our drink order and I thought all would be well. I am not going to write all the details. but when we finally got our meals it was disappointing. I had to chase the new waitress to pay the bill before we received the dessert we paid for. There were a lot go people there so maybe our experience was not typical.

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.
