Nice is a city which in some of its areas tends to be quite touristic about the food offer, especially in the old town or in other famous spots, where prices are rising beyond any reasonable standard. This restaurant is fairly central (stop "République" of the tramline 1, one after Place Garibaldi), but quite hidden, so that I used TheFork to find it, conveniently 5 minutes walk from my hotel. I have to confirm the most positive feedbacks, the food is delicious, prices are reasonable for a city like Nice (fairly cheap with TheFork discount of 30%), but I like mostly the atmosphere and the service.

It had honey and I believe a slice of apple on top? it tasted like an apple but the entire thing was purple. I had the duck and my friend had the beef. She ordered it medium rare but we were unaware of the difference between a medium rare in america and one in france. She said that the parts that were cooked enough for her to eat were absolutely delicious, so just keep that in mind. We split a white chocolate creme brulee for desert and...
Read moreSuperb traditional French cuisine! Quaint restaurant with a rustic French vibe. Excellent service from the moment you walk through the door. Portion sizes are perfect; not too full, but not left wanting, unless you've room for a desert, in which case, go for the crème brulé - perfection! Very reasonable on price given the quality of food and exemplary level of...
