La Tapenade — Restaurant in Nice

To be honest, I didn’t expect too much from this restaurant. Located in the centre of attractions, this kind of restaurants are usually aiming at a onetime deal. However, I would go to this restaurant for a second time. Although they were very busy, the receptionist managed to quickly find me a table. The menu was carefully crafted highlighting all the local specialties, including Niçois Salade, Socca, Pissaladière, Farcis and many others. The portion was a little bit large even for a foodie like me. But considering the price, it’s a deal. The reason why I would come back again is because the taste is actually not bad! It’s not like those ‘soul less food’ that this kind of restaurant topically offers. My Farcis was properly cooked and carefully delivered. The texture, the temperature and the taste are all right. The desserts were also good. It seems that they those desserts by themselves because some options were sold out when I tried to order. I got a tiramisu finally and the portion is again larger than average. The other reason I gave them 5 stars is that they achieved a relatively high efficiency for the resources given. I also worked in this kind of business before so I know it’s not easy. Although they were very busy they didn’t kept me long. The waiters were also well behaved without messing everything up. All in all, if you want a safe bet in the tourism area, this...

I've read the other good reviews. And it made me think. There is a good chance that we ordered the two dishes that are just not good there. Nevertheless, even if that's the case - it's worth mentioning, maybe the owners will do something about it. The two things we had were saffron risotto and seafood linguine. Risotto had a texture of overcooked porridge and it was too salty. Two, large chips of dry sausage didn't look nice and didn't improve the taste and overall impression of the dish. But my pasta was even worse. If you have a restaurant in Nice, next to the sea and a source of daily fresh seafood, preparing a simple, tasty seafood pasta should be the simplest thing. I don't know how it's possible, but I never ate a worse seafood dish. I hope that the seafood was fresh but wrongly prepared. But I'm not sure, it didn't really taste fresh. I wasn't poisoned, so that's a good thing, but the taste was just not right. I ate it because I was really hungry at the moment. There are other low reviews of those two dishes here, so something is definitely wrong with them. Other than that - a nice place with nice staff. To the owners - please...

We visited here for dinner and we were seated outside. The tables are all extremely close to each other so it was impossible for us to move. The staff was quick in getting our order and bringing us dinner. The appetizer was basically a collection of antipasto that was bought from the supermarket and put together. But the worse part of the night came when our main dishes arrived, and one of the dishes (the lamb) was frozen inside!!! fully frozen!! so we didn’t eat any of it and we immediately called them to take it back, and that we don’t want it recooked and and we just want to leave so we’d like to get the bill. Once we received the bill they were also charging us for the lamb, because the “chef” was “warming it up again”. Lol no thanks! We asked them if they could remove the lamb and that we never asked for it heated up or even recooked anyways. After a bit of back and forth the serve removed it from the bill and we left. My boyfriend is now sick because he had bitten into the frozen lamb before finding out it was frozen so we had a terrible ending to our night. Will...
