Le Tchitchou sur Nice

An excellent restaurant in Nice. We were particularly impressed by the staff's kindness and helpfulness: even though it was after 10 pm and the kitchen was about to close, they managed to reserve a table for us. Many restaurants hadn't accepted us, so we truly appreciated their helpfulness. They greeted us with a welcome glass of prosecco, and throughout the evening, the staff was attentive and friendly. Another plus was that they spoke both English and Italian, which is not always a given and therefore greatly appreciated. The restaurant is small but very charming, with both indoor and outdoor seating. The menu offers a variety of traditional French dishes, and the food is excellent. Highly recommended!

Excellent food at this small restaurant! We enjoyed some local specialties from Nice and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The service was a little rushed, but it was still pleasant.

Amazing food and wonderful service! Our waiter was incredibly friendly and attentive, and we were welcomed with a complimentary glass of Prosecco, which was such a lovely touch. At the end, we also got to try a shot of limoncello on the house. The food was absolutely delicious, from the main courses to the desserts, and everything felt fresh and well prepared. The only small downside is that the restaurant is quite compact, so the tables are fairly close to each other. Overall, a really lovely experience with great food, warm hospitality, and excellent service. Would definitely recommend!

Excellent service, and the meatballs were fantastic! Highly recommended.

If you are visiting Nice and want to taste real, authentic and lovingly prepared local food, this place is an absolute diamond! We stopped by for a meal and were completely impressed from the first minute to the last. In the photo is one of the restaurant’s specialties: stuffed courgette flowers (fleurs de courgette farcies). It was something amazing! The flowers were incredibly tender, the filling, prepared in the best traditions of Cuisine Nissarde, was juicy and full of flavor, and the rich, homemade tomato sauce perfectly balanced the whole dish. Every bite simply melted in your mouth! You could immediately feel that everything was made from extremely fresh, high-quality and local ingredients. The restaurant itself is very cozy, the atmosphere is warm and family-like, and the staff is extremely helpful, friendly and hospitable. We were also very pleasantly surprised to be offered drinks – such a nice gesture further reinforced the feeling that you are not just a customer here, but a welcome guest. You don’t feel like you are in a conveyor belt tourist restaurant, but as if you have visited a real French home. The price-quality ratio is also ten points! Everything here left a great impression: from the food and cozy atmosphere to the sincere service. I recommend everyone to visit this wonderful place – it is a real triumph of taste! I recommend reserving a table in advance, because the restaurant is small and very popular. We will definitely come back! ❤️ If you’re visiting Nice and want to experience truly authentic, lovingly prepared local cuisine, this place is an absolute gem!

Lovely local restaurant serving traditional French food, which was excellent. However, service was noticeably slower for tourists than for locals… Still, we enjoyed the the meal

This was recommended to my by a local tour guide as a 'Niçois' restaurant more typical for locals. It does have that feel about it and I very much enjoyed my visit. I was given complimentary wine at the beginning as well as a complimentary limoncello at the end!! It's a quiet-ish area best suited for people who want to avoid the masses closer to the seafront.

The food is delicious and beautifully presented. A typically French restaurant frequented by locals.

Definitely one of our best meals while vacationing in the south of France. We didn’t make reservations, but I think they’re a good idea. The staff was very friendly! The chicken with basil dish was superb!

We ate at this restaurant last night and were completely satisfied. The Niçoise cuisine offered was of very high quality (octopus salad, leg of lamb, etc.). Thank you for your hospitality.
