While I was in Nice, my group was trying to find a place to eat and we saw Peixes was one of the places recommended online. We made a reservation for the restaurant and were seated outside because the weather was nice. It was pretty crowded here, so it took some time for us to have our server get to us. For the food, we decided to try some ceviches, crunchy chicken, tuna tartare, and the seabream. I think out of the food we got I enjoyed the appetizers like the ceviche and the tartare the most, as these were really fresh and had good flavor to them. However, for the crunchy chicken we thought it was alright and the seabream also didn't impress us that much since it didn't have too much flavor. Overall, I liked the appetizers here although the mains could've been better in my opinion. read more

I came here with 2 friends and we had an amazing well. Peixes is focused on raw seafood and we ordered a variety of carpaccios for the table. We especially loved the scallops, yellowtail, and tuna dishes. Each dish was plated beautifully and incredibly flavorful. The decorations are beautiful. read more

One of the best small-plates meals we had in France. We had lunch outside under the umbrellas, with periods of light rain. This was after a 3 hour walking tour of Nice including treks up and down hundreds of flights of steps to see the old castle. Needless to say we worked up an appetite. We started with light white wine and proceeded to order many small plates including the assortment of cured fish, the friture of the day (which were little fish lighted fried), cod fish acras, mussels cassolette, white fish ceviche, grilled octopus, grilled corn on the cob, sweet potato, and roasted whole sea bream (which may have been our favorite). Everything was fantastic. The service was attentive and helpful. Our table was good for people-watching, as they say. read more

I could take it or leave it off my to go to resto list because this was the attitude I got from the service staff. My waitress (the heavy set one) was impatient and left me with a lack of interest to order more. My beef with this seafood restaurant is it's NOT cheap so give up the attitude of a one buck chuck shop. Scallop ceviche starter was 17 Euro ( basically one scallop sliced thin). Good but more is expected at this price point. The artichoke mousse had an indistinguishable taste and had a weird artificial aftertaste. No ambiance. Staff are in t-shirts. I recommend coming, if you must, for their weekday lunch menu for 20 euro except for holidays. read more

Amazing, creative cuisine and reasonably priced. (15 euro main course, glass of good wine and coffee- unbelievable) If you love fish you have to visit and do not skip deserts - delicious and )beautiful Lovely wine selection, again reasonably priced! Will be back often read more

Food. Service. Location. All great. Excellent choice for fresh, nicely prepared fish. Their wine selection is also well paired with the food choice. Be mindful, the portion sizes are smaller but enough to keep you satisfied. The ambience is lively and they're located near the main downtown area in Nice. Loved it. read more

Giving this place a 3 star rating not because of the food quality but because it did not really compare to other places we tried in Paris and Nice. We were hoping for local Nice dishes, but they were mostly seafood and Japanese fusion food. I'd greatly recommend the clams cooked in wine. The tom yum fish was also really unique. (also my partner got the fried chicken: TBH I knew I would regret it. I don't know why I did it. Don't do that. Just suck it up and eat the seafood even if you're not a seafood person. You'll have less regrets.) read more

Fantastic food, I'd recommend making a reservation beforehand though because it's very busy. Some tables are on the side of the road and it's a bit slanted but we didn't reserve ahead so we didn't get a good pick for tables. Even though our seating area wasn't optimal, the food is just amazing that you end up not caring .. Highly recommend! read more

Some dishes were good like the tuna sashimi snd some less as the shakshuka with rice, eggs and octopus. It was just ok and not much flavor. Service was not amazing and actually one served was not friendly as soon as we arrived. read more

Looking for seafood in Nice and checking with the bib gourmetan list, peixes was open and available. First off, they do not take reservations and are first come first serve. We ordered nearly everything on the menu. Everything was good but nothing mind blowingly great. We started with oysters which were all fresh, served with a slice of lemon. For the ceviches (which were more of crudos), we did the scallop and octopus/sea bream. Scallop was soft and tender with a nice pompgranite and orange glaze. The octopus/sea bream in more traditional lemon citrus. Sashimi the bonito was fine. Nothing special but not anything better quality wise that i couldnt get at the fish marlet at home. Clams were great in an excellent white wine sauce. However, the clams were pretty tiny and maybe only 20 total. A little sparse but lots of flavor. We shared the pollock, octopus, and tempura chicken as mains. Tempura wasnt any different from a chicken karagge. Octopus couscous was faily bitter and unenjoyable. The pollock had good flavor and would order again. All in all, abit disappointed but food in Nice over all has been pretty disappointing. If you are in the area try it, but if you need to wait, likely move on. read more

It amazes me just how few reviews there are for Peixes. My party came for the food which I tasted and was fabulous. I came for one thing, the Oysters Fine de Claire No 3. I personally believe that the best Oysters come from France. I'm proven right with every visit. I have read alot about these Oysters and everything I read was true. The first thing is pass on the cocktail sauce, horseradish, or vinegrettes. Try it alone or with a few drops of lemon. I opted to enjoy them alone. Every oyster confirmed what I already expected. Heavenly! You can taste the environment they were cultivated in. The sea salt, an earthy nuttiness and soft flesh. If you are an Oyster liver like me. You will not miss this fine opportunity in Nice. read more

Perfection. Perhaps the most flavorful meal I have ever ate!!!! All of the different flavors blended well together. The ceviche was served in passion fruit juice with peppers for a little kick. The meringue was served inside a lime! What presentation! It tasted like a mojito! I thought the portions would be too small but it actually was super filling! I also had a mocktail which really tasted like a cocktail. If I hadn't read "sans alcohol" on the menu, I would have never known it! They serve plenty of real alcohol too! Ambiance was beautiful. Theme was ocean-themed in the restaurant which fit well for the seaside city. Lighting was warm and welcoming. Both indoor and outdoor seating is offered. Two servers checked on me frequently to see if I needed anything. Service was on point! I was never left needing anything. This is officially my favorite restaurant!!!!! read more

Amazing ceviche, best place in Nice for lunch hands down! We ordered the lunch special with a side and dessert. Great amount of food, both ceviches were delicious. The whitefish had an umami, spicy flavor profile. The scallop ceviche was more fruity and tangy. The almond dessert was so delicious as well, I believe it was an almond cake with strawberries. Next time I am in Nice we will define be coming back. This place is a must try! read more

This was the best meal we had in Nice - you must go and it's worth the wait! We ordered 2 mains (both ceviches), a side and a starter. They also provide bread and hummus. The side of patatas bravas helped round out the meal and made it a bit more hearty, otherwise I think we would have needed another dish. I have not stopped thinking about the scallop ceviche. The scallops melted in your mouth, but not before treating it to sweet heat from the passion fruit and chilies. One thing I wish they had: merch! I would have totally bought a t-shirt, tote, literally anything with that cute fish logo. read more

The server we had was a bit rude, but the food was amazing I think probably my favorite meal during our 4 day stay in Nice so I would definitely come back. If you're looking for seafood, this is the place. We had sea bream ceviche, oysters and tuna tartare. They started the meal with bread but it was a croissant type bread instead of the classic baguette, it was delicious. My only Rec would be that the tables are small so if you plan to order multiple items order them in 1 or 2 because they bring everything at once and it makes it difficult to eat with all of the things on the table at once. The oysters are amazing!! Must try! read more

Peixes - Sea Bream Ceviche - French Near Me - Nice, 06

We really enjoyed the place. Showed up 10 minutes before they opened at 7:00pm and there was already a line of about 12 people. Thankfully we beat the rush that all showed up a few minutes after we did. Sat outside and it was a great environment. Promptly served croissants with seaweed inside and they were excellent. My wife and I ordered: scallops ceviche, grilled corn with cheese/aioli sauce, eggplant, marinated sardines. Absolutely loved everything. The ceviche was our favorite but it was tough to pick. Would absolutely recommend to anyone! read more

deserves the michelin recommendation - the food was good and very affordable (spent ~$30 per person for dinner). the scallop ceviche was my favorite dish! we also really liked the tuna tartar, it has some asian inspired taste with the wasabi and shrimp crackers. the corn was good with the sauce, nothing too special. i didn't like the sauce on the salmon (very sour) so i probably wouldn't get that again. i think you can just stick to getting a bunch of starters to share, no need for main courses. we got there ~5 min before they opened for dinner and there was a small line but we were seated immediately. read more

I wish I could give this place zero stars. The customer service is the worst. We asked something about the food and then my friend said she didn't want it and would just go for something else. He cursed in her face and rolled his eyes. He brought the water and slammed the glasses on the table. At this point we were a bit shook. He didn't talk to us for the rest of the meal, I guess that's a blessing. read more

Outstanding food. A no bullshit restaurant with very well thought out dishes and amazing components. Service is incredibly welcoming and caring. This place is run beautifully with a very nice service team that cares about their food and their people. The kitchen seems to have a great view on food and ingredients as well as a creative tongue. read more

I had walked past this place a few times while going to Nice and never really paid attention to it. After looking through the Michelin's website for a restaurant, I decided to give this place a try. It's very good. We went there 2 days in a row and tried all the dishes, with the exception of the beef-roll, since we were fish focussed. The ceviche were amazing, with really different tastes. Oysters were as expected, salmon sashimi, tuna tartar, ... all on par with the ceviche. The service is fast and sitting at the counter for two days in a row allowed us to also see how things were prepared. The kitchen was very organised and the chef quite demanding - checking everything and sometimes catching a missing leaf or a not well adjusted portion. This is probably the only way that this restaurant manages to churn out the good food so quickly. Overall, definitively a place to recommend. read more

One of the best meals I've ever had. I think about this place all the time and dream of the amazing seafood options - the best clams and ceviche! Every dish was BEAUTIFUL and had an exquisite balance of different flavors. The menu has a lot of Asian influence as well which was really interesting to see. read more

This establishment has the potential of earning a Michelin Star. Best scallops carpaccio I've tasted anywhere. Best tuna tartare I've tasted anywhere -- it is served mixed with fried wasabi peas! There's a dish of chopped oysters, shrimps, and other fresh seafood served on oyster shells topped with a foam. There a dish of octopus served in a dome cover that releases the steam and aroma when lifted. Great seafood dishes. But they also had a hanger steak done really tender, wrapped in Japanese seaweed, with sides of grilled parsnip and kale baked crunchy. The swordfish carpaccio was very good too, but could've been presented better. We went here twice for dinner in our very short time in Nice. read more

I have mixed feelings about this place. On the one hand, you can see the care and pride they take in their food. On the other, it was good but not as sensational as other reviews would have you believe. We had oysters, several tartars and some soup. They were all solid, but not the level of seafood we had in other locations such as in Marseille. The wine was also good, as was the local, organic beer. Overall one of the better experiences in Nice, but not mind blowing. In terms of flavor, if you've ever had raw seafood in the northwest/northeast United States, Japan, or Korea you'll likely be underwhelmed by your experience here. In terms of creativity and aesthetics, they do an admirable job and it reflects their skill and the pride they take in their cooking. read more

Love love ceviche. Happy was able to find this restaurant. Small restaurant in a very busy area. Number of staff is quite limited so you just have to be patient and wait your turn (just like in all other restaurant in the area) loved everything that we ordered. Can't say that enough. The clams were so good with the butter. The swordfish was tasty. The scallop and the sauce was great. The fish of the day tom yum was a winner. Would definitely go back if we had more time. read more

Fantastic! If you like seafood and the taste of the sea, this is the place to be. We started with oysters, sublime...with liquid from the sea...as good as any I've had. The tempura scallops we're excellent...cooked perfectly. Any ceviche is great, we had the seafood one with brandade, squid, and mussels, the broth or juice was speckled with caviar tasted an amalgam of citrus, saltiness, and not sure what else, but encouraged one soak up the liquid with the amazing bread. You must try the smoked sea bass or bream, if you are at all interested in inventive cuisine. Oh, forgot to mention the anchovy paste that comes with the bread...superb. The brownie dessert was really good too. The house white wine is a bargain too. We'll be back! read more

This place has amazing food. Waiters/waitresses were very nice, except one. I got up to go to the toilet and she jumped in front of me and said I cannot use it. She solely judged me off my looks and said the toilet is for customers only. She was wearing a headband on Tuesday night 5/30. She needs to be taught some manners towards the customers that just spent a good amount of money. Management, you need to have a talk with this employee as she stills needs some training. read more

Wow... such a great experience! Food, wine, desert, everything perfect and stuff was great as well! Can't wait to come back soon!
