Le Boudoir — Restaurant in Nice

Must come here when you're visiting Nice! Randomly stumbled upon this amazing restaurant! And since it was truffle season, they had a special truffle 3 course menu for 40 euros. And trust me - it was the best truffle 3 course ive had in a while.

The first truffle course was salad with burrata and truffles. Really opens up your palette. Simple and refreshing.

Second course was this very thick toast with a caramelized onion jam and truffles. OMG super umami and blew my taste buds outta my mouth. How can the final course top this?

Final course was truffles risotto with Parmesan foam. Oh my did the chef just blow my mind. And I'm not usually a person who loves truffles. I like it but to like a 3 course menu is out of the ordinary. This risotto I will dream about for the rest of my life. Yummy!

We also ordered the shrimp ceviche which was good but nothing special. There was another truffle appetizer that we ordered that was really good and definitely worth ordering - I don't speak French so the server just described it to me as a mushroom salad with really big mushrooms and truffles on top. The really big mushrooms he mentioned were really fat and juicy.

Dessert was pretty good but nothing comparable to the risotto. Highly recommend coming to...

Came highly recommended by our concierge for a truffle tasting dinner. He helped us make the reservation for this small restaurant and luckily we did. When we sat down at 7:30, half the restaurant was already full. They were very accommodating and provided us with the hand written menus in English. As we looked at the menu, we noticed the truffle tasting menu on the wall and we had to do it.

The first course was a truffle paste with bacon foam. It was delicious. Then, the burrata salad with tons of shaved truffles on top. Yummy! The earthiness if the truffles and the creaminess if the burrata was a perfect pairing. Next came the foie gras, apple tart, covered with freshly shaved truffles. This was one of the best things I’ve ever ate. If you eat nothing else in Nice, eat 3 of these. AMAZING! Final dish is the white truffle raviolis topped with more freshly shaved truffles. Unfortunately, this came right after the most perfect dish, so it just didn’t stand out. The truffle was intense, the raviolis were al dente.

Come to this neighborhood joint where...

maybe you are 1st timer in Nice and hunting for gourmet, then I would like to share my experience of last night: there are way better tasty food With way cheaper price than this restaurant.

Reflecting today’s dishes: my assumption was they changed owner recently, coz most of dishes we ordered weren’t the same presented in google photo archives. Burrata salad costs 13euro( normal price), 3 slices of tomato, 4 slices Ham with half of burrata usually you got entire one from other place. Main costs about 24euro per dish, which is normal /cost starting level with Michelin’s recommendation, however it was big disappointment, sea bass was not fresh, potato gratin tasteless( overcooked), mine was couscous with calamari, it was so salty I end up to suck on complementary bread to balance the flavor. Check out: I waited for 20mins to get the bill when the entire restraint was half full, without any explanation.

In short, not recommend and will not go back during my...
