Restaurant La Gauloise — Restaurant in Nice

We initially went to la route du miam for diner but sadly discovered that the place was fully booked. Luckily the owner kindly recommend us to la Gauloise and in her words this restaurant has the most " clean taste and correct technique " of French cuisine.

The food is very reasonably priced. The owner very patiently explained the menu to us in English. ( yes, there's no English menu and almost every guests there were locals expected us, which is a really good sign in my opinion) I ordered the chef's recommendation a white fish with sausage meat on top. The fish was cooked perfectly and taste fresh. My husband adventurously tried a beef tripe stew and we both loved it. ( believe me, it takes some skills for him to appreciate sweetbreads.)

Overall, one of the best restaurant that we encountered so far in Nice. And I highly recommend that anyone who wants to step out of the old town Nice tourists area to enjoy some authentic local food to...

If you like small, local restaurants within urban atmosphere- this is your place with seafood.

What a place!!!!

Some friends suggested us this place and we definitely weren't disappointed. Quite the opposite. We knew the food was good. That's underestimating it!!!! Off the tourist area and the tourist place of the Centre de Ville, we had the best meal ever in Nice! A fusion of French cuisine mixed with mediterranean flavors and some Asia in it too... The best home made fois gras you could eat! A delicious grilled octopus with hummus (perfect combination)! An amazing and different beef tartare with truffle! and we ended with an incredible ile flottante. And the perfect service just made it the perfect evening out. A place we strongly recommend and can't wait to be back in nice to go back...
