Café du Musée Chagall — Restaurant in Nice

A Hidden Gem! This is one of the most beautiful, peaceful settings for any restaurant in France, let alone Nice. We stumbled upon it when turning up at the museum just as it was closed for lunch (a one off even apparently). Aperol Spritz for $8 (incredibly cheap for the region) kicked things off, and my wife chose Salade Niçoise, while I went for the Steak Haché burger. The latter was much nicer than an ordinary burger. There were also loads of specials which I wish I’d paid more attention to (no disrespect the ‘steak haché’ though!) My wife ordered a noisette (small espresso coffee with a dash of hot milk) which she said was excellent. The total bill was less than $50.

PS We returned a few days later hoping to grab a late lunch on the way to the airport, but sadly they’d just stopped serving lunch (16:02). However they served desserts, and we had an amazing Tarte Tartin and a couple...

The food was good, I’ll give them that. But everything else unfortunately ruined the experience. There’s no option to have hummus and meat served separately everything is just thrown together. Tables were sticky, and the place had an unpleasant smell. Calling it a restaurant is a stretch,it feels more like a fast-food spot, and even there it could be better. It was very noisy, definitely not a calm place to enjoy a meal. The biggest disappointment was the beer was completely flat, no foam at all, and for €8. Czechs would cry if they saw this. Good food alone isn’t enough when everything around it feels this bad....

Un cadre très agréable, à l' ombre. Une salade niçoise fraîche (14€50), deux boules de glace bonnes (4€50). Et, surtout, la possibilité d'être assis pendant l'heure et demie de fermeture méridienne du musée Chagall ( Je suis montée à pied au musée Matisse avant le plus gros de la chaleur. Quand je suis redescendue au musée Chagall à 12h30, il ne me restait que 25 mn pour la visite: une longue attente dans ce quartier résidentiel loin de tout.). Personnel...
