Saydawi — Restaurant in Nice

I had dinner tonight at Saydawi Restaurant. It’s especially nice that this place serves food in the late afternoon and early evening as well the usual hours for lunch and dinner.

This small restaurant has a humble presence in the shadows of trees on Rue Pastorelli but you can smell the delicious blend of olive oil and herbs from meters away. Its narrow sidewalk window makes it appear to be more of a takeout place than a sit down restaurant. Do not be deceived! In the back, up a couple of stairs to the right, there is a cozy section of tables with red upholstered benches and warm lighting. It is a pleasing atmosphere for romantic couples and families alike.

The proprietor was very accommodating. I had a headache and asked him to turn down the music. (I liked the music but needed a lower volume.) He didn’t hesitate to turn the music down and checked with me to see if it was low enough. It was.

Some of the Lebanese specialities: the food was fresh and savory; the flavors well balanced. I had L’Assiette Vegetarian which included several cold and several warm items like tabouli, an eggplant melange, hummus, falafel, stuffed grape leaves, and samboukas.

I had a nice chat with the owner. He was warm, sincere and polite.

I will definitely return to Saydawi Restaurant. Thank you for the tasty, nourishing...

If you're craving authentic Lebanese food packed with flavor, this place is a must-visit! 🥙🌿 Every bite is an explosion of taste in your mouth — fresh vegetables, aromatic herbs, and perfectly balanced spices that make your senses dance! 🧄🌶️🍋

The vegetarian options are especially outstanding — from creamy hummus to crispy falafel and zesty tabbouleh, everything is made with care and passion. 🧆🥗

The service is incredibly friendly 😊 — you feel welcomed the moment you walk in. Whether you choose to sit outside and enjoy the breeze or get cozy inside, the atmosphere is relaxed and inviting. 🪑☀️🌙

And the best part? It’s just a short walk from the city center, making it a perfect spot for lunch, dinner, or a spontaneous snack. 📍🚶‍♀️🍴

Treat yourself to a delicious taste of Lebanon right in the heart of the city — your taste buds will...

For me this is the best Lebanese restaurant in Nice and the south of France.

I have had the honor of traveling and staying in Beirut more than a year and half between 2010 and 2018, and I have experienced all the best rated restaurants in Lebanon. I mention this in my review to highlight I have experienced and also all my Lebanese friends in Monaco and Nice also agree this restaurant is exceptional Lebanese cuisine. I highly recommend this Lebanese restaurant. The owner is a very nice woman who clearly puts her heart...
