Café des Musiciens — Restaurant in Nice

It was a rainy night in Nice so our original booking at another restaurant was cancelled which we had waited for 6 months for and our activity earlier in the day was also cancelled. We were quite devastated about the news but nothing stopped us from trying to find another restaurant! My friends and I set on foot to find another restaurant but was turned down because the tables were booked out indoors except for Café des Musiciens. We were greeted by Charlotte who was very warm and friendly. We were captivated by the ambience and Charlotte’s enthusiasm. We entered and settled into our seats and from there the night got better - the food, service and coincidentally Charlotte and Christopher also had lived in Australian. It made it feel comfortable and special on such a day where a lot of what we had planned did not go well. So thank you to the both Charlotte and Christopher for the service tonight and delicious food and dessert! Very unique, balanced and used fresh produce from local markets. They change their menu daily as well to keep it new so their efforts in developing the business is to be commended for. All their foods paired well with the excellent wine. Would definitely recommend to dine in if...

The rabbit, steak tartare and vegetarian dish were perfectly prepared. Christopher is a fantastic chef. The peach tart was outstanding and we enjoyed 2 other desserts as well. Situated across from a small, quiet square, we had a nice table outside. I don't want to over sell this place but after a year in France, this is one of the best restaurants...

This is a new rising star on the block - a great family restaurant. Charlotte (in the room) and her husband (in the kitchen) offer great meals. We like how classical dishes have been re-created. Kids have enjoyed their meals too (that’s does not happen often). I can’t but mention the sauce for the eggs. No wonder that the chef has got some rewards for that. Between the meals we enjoyed guessing the names of the great musicians on the picture (luckily Charlotte has got hints). We’ve been two times already and we would...
