Le Virginie, Nice Riquier — Restaurant in Nice

This was truly the best experience I have had in the south of France! It checked every single box; service, ambiance, and of course, the FOOD! Our server Thomas greeted us with a smile which made us feel extremely welcome as soon as we came in and sat us in a perfect location allowing us to overlook the upscale diner vibe the restaurant exudes while also granting us an intimate enough space to appreciate each other at our table. He proceeded to give us excellent recommendations while practicing his English (which was very good) and brought us everything we asked for in an extremely efficient and timely manner. The bartender, Nicholas, was also very welcoming and made us Limoncello spritz’s that were the perfect way to cap off our exquisite dinner. The chef produced us a Michelin star quality experience with the timeliness and heat level of the food (I love my food to come to the table piping hot, and it did just that). The crispy Veal chop I enjoyed was cooked to PERFECTION with just the right amount of crisp on the outside and the juices running out from the inside each time I cut into it and was served with a hearty side of pasta that had a very flavorful sauce which I truly enjoyed. The Lasagna was better than any I’ve ever tasted and needed nothing additional to be enjoyed to the fullest. Pro tip: order the creamy polenta and you will be in heaven!! This is truly my favorite restaurant in France and I will definitely visit here each and every time I am here on holiday. Thank you so much to the staff for providing us such a top...

We were walking by this place and the menu looked good so we went inside and I’m very happy we did. I got the entrecôte (French steak sirloin w/ creamy polenta and vegetables) and it was fantastic. For dessert we got the affogato and tiramisu and it was incredible. This was my favorite meal in Nice! The servers/staff were very friendly and attentive. While we were here, a group came to another table and started playing instruments together while dining and it was awesome to watch and listen while we ate. I recommend this place to everyone. I can’t wait to come back to Nice to dine here and of course order the...

My wife and I had dinner on September 15th. We were seated on time per our reservation. Staff was attentive without being bothersome. Our order was taken promptly and fulfilled as requested. My wife had the linguine with pesto and hazelnuts, and I had the sea bass. Even the the restaurant was busy, the food arrived promptly, at the correct temperature. We were impressed by bit only the quality of the food, but the service provided by the two employees. A must visit restaurant if you...
