La popote d’Ondine Liberté — Restaurant in Nice

This is their third café in Nice, and each one seems better than the last. They offer absolutely delicious food, with a great selection of gluten-free and vegetarian options—which is quite rare to find in Nice. The atmosphere is cozy and charming, making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy a meal.

However, while the food and ambiance are exceptional, there are a few service-related issues you should be prepared for:

They might take your order even when there are no free tables available, leaving you awkwardly standing with your food and drinks.

Reserving a table while your companion is in the queue is not allowed. On a few occasions, I was even asked to free a table while my wife was placing our order at the counter. This could mean you’ll end up with food but no place to sit.

We were apparently drinking too much tab water and taking up space even though it was empty anyways! Such a rude man who really don’t respect regular customers! Food is average and cake is OVERPRICED! Don’t come here if you want a...

Had a bit of high expectations because how can a not good place open 3 spots?

The food is below average at most. We ordered American waffle for my kid, the chicken was with spicy powder, the waffle was stale and old. We took 2 bites and left the rest. Bagel pastrami was not a real bagel(of course not what was I thinking). It was black bun with 2 thin slices of pastrami inside. The lady beside us had more than half left! Eggs Benedict came with cumin flavored avocado? It’s ok to be innovative but this was not the way.

Prices are not bad for a hangout spot, but for this quality I would rather buy from a supermarket. Will never come back or...
