Les meilleurs restaurants en Alpes-Maritimes

14/09/2024: An excellent Sicilian restaurant that I frequent regularly! The products are always fresh and everything is homemade, which makes each dish authentic and delicious. The welcome is warm, you feel at home as soon as you walk through the door. A true Sicilian culinary experience that I highly recommend. Well done to the whole team!

23/08/2024: Real Italian cuisine! At Casa Elli you eat very well and, although the dishes of the day were finished when we arrived, we received dishes suggested by the owners that were truly delicious. The owners and staff (all Italian) are really approachable and friendly. I recommend anyone who is in Nice to stop by them if they want to eat dishes with truly and typically Italian raw materials and preparations.

08/07/2025: One word: outstanding. From the very beginning, everything was seamless — starting with the ease of the reservation system. The restaurant is located in a charming seaside town, and it beautifully embraces its historical roots. Being right by the water adds a magical touch, but the interior is just as captivating. The atmosphere inside is warm and full of character. The vintage photographs hanging on the walls are simply beautiful — and after reading about the restaurant’s history in the menu, seeing those photos brings the whole story to life. It’s like stepping into a living memory, where past and present come together in the most elegant way. The menu is thoughtful and well-curated, and you can tell great care goes into how each dish is prepared and cooked. The flavors were absolutely on point — every bite was memorable. The service was equally impressive: attentive, friendly, and professional from start to finish. I’ve been thinking hard, but I genuinely can’t find a single flaw. It was simply perfect in every way.

06/07/2025: My family was so excited to eat at La Mere Germaine based on reviews and word-of-mouth in various Facebook groups. Unfortunately, our experience was not good. While we did like the location by the sea in Villefranche, the food and the service were severely lacking. The waiter completely forgot to bring my husband’s drink; we never received it. One of my children ordered a burger from the kids’ menu, and we requested the meat to be cooked “à point” for medium (medium rare would also have been ok), and the burger was cooked beyond well done and was awful. The first appetizer arrived, and then my daughter’s meal arrived. She was the only one with food, and we waited quite a while for the second appetizer. By the time our main courses arrived, my daughter was done with her dinner. The timing was so poor. The ceviche appetizer was ok, but the lobster ravioli appetizer was a (bad) joke for the quantity and price. Not to mention that the ravioli itself didn’t taste very good. The main courses were disappointing as well. We’re foodies and have dined at excellent restaurants throughout Paris and the French Riviera. We didn’t have one bad meal—until we dined at this restaurant. Nice and Villefranche have so many restaurants that are better, and some are also less expensive. I happily pay a lot for good food and service, and I received neither. I surmise that La Mere Germaine is surviving based on its history and reputation, but the actual experience is a let down for sure. I would recommend going elsewhere.

24/09/2024: Restaurant avec tous les plats maison... Très bonne qualité et vraiment fameux ! Personnel très pro et sympathique. Pour moi la meilleure adresse de Beaulieu pour aller manger. Avons été bluffé par la cuisine excellente pour des prix raisonnables. Allez y ,vous ne serez pas déçu !

21/09/2024: Très bonne adresse ! Personnel très agréable et professionnel. Cadre agréable. Service rapide ! Plats excellents belle présentation !

15/10/2024: Bel accueil. Réservation faite pour mon anniversaire surprise, ils ont joué le jeu et nous ont bien placé. Superbe terrasse même nuit, j'ai adoré de plus j'ai eu droit à la chansonnette pour me souhaiter un joyeux anniversaire. Service, plats et personnels au top .

02/10/2024: Precioso lugar de moda, un gran ambiente. Cócteles divertidos, menú increíble y una vista preciosa. Reserve una reserva mientras se pone el sol para disfrutar del ambiente de estar en el agua. Un poco caro, pero estás pagando por la experiencia. ¡Valió la pena!

22/09/2024: Très belle découverte au cœur du Vieux Nice, cuisine, typique avec de bons produits, personnel, accueillant. Nous n’avons pas été déçu. Je recommande

19/09/2024: Plats savoureux et généreux. Le service est rapide et efficace. Le cadre est sympa, tout va bien,l'endroit est à recommander.

11/12/2024: I stopped in midweek at 1030am for brunch and the place was empty but open. I was seated in the best table in the window with two leather club chairs. The decorations in this restaurant are charming and welcoming. The server was equally so. I opted for the greedy with omlette and hot chocolate. I heard the server slicing the bread after she put my order in. As she served the bread, she explained about the bread and jam varieties. I normally don't eat much bread or jam, but since they were there I tried them all. Then I was trying them on different breads and it was magical. White bread with raspberry jam was my favorite followed closely by the thick dark slice with the spiced apple. Yum. None if them were too sweet and all were packed with fresh fruit. Really great offerings! The omlete was simple hot and fresh, adorned with blanched veggies and fresh herbs. It was accompanied by a dressed rocket salad and small fruit cocktail. Everything was delicious and I especially enjoyed the interplay of sweet jam/bread combinations against the savory and perfectly seasoned omlette. And one cannot forget the generous serving of perfectly made hot chocolate. It was divine! This restaurant is well served by an obviously well conditioned team that works together well. Since I was alone in the restaurant, I could hear the conversation among them and it fills the space with a hood energy. I whole heartedly recommend this delightful restaurant if you enjoy bread and jam! My interest is also piqued for their lunch options. Bon appetit!

02/12/2024: Had an amazing gluten free breakfast. Big portion, an lots of lovely homemade jams. Could easily overeat on those

26/11/2024: Those who don't know you are missing something in Nice. Tasty and good quality home cooking. Good, Pleasant Service.

24/11/2024: Un endroit atypique où l'on plonge d'un un univers régressif, c'est tellement chouette. La cuisine est tout aussi originale, fraîche et delicieuse et cerise sur le gâteau le service est parfait fait de sourires et de bon conseils. Il faut donc y aller les yeux fermés,en famille entre amis (jeux de sociétés à disposition).

12/12/2024: A restaurant with affordable prices and high quality meat and dishes. The products are fresh and seasonal, which is reflected in each plate! Special mention for the warm welcome and attentive service. You immediately feel at ease there! An experience that I recommend without hesitation. 2 minutes from the Croisette and rue d'Antibes!

11/12/2024: Lovely little spot to get coffee. Perfect spot to sit outside especially in autumn/spring weather. Their croque madame is okay, I've had better, but their is fine. Fries are good. Asked for ice coffee and they're willing to make it but it taste very watery, my fault, just get hot coffee here. But the service is great. And the quiet location is a plus too.

12/06/2025: A place worth the detour. Single menu with one or two starters. Always fresh products and succulent, inventive Mediterranean dishes. Attentive and very welcoming staff.

26/05/2025: Just like home Thanks everyone Max

11/08/2024: This is a really authentic french family owned place and would recommend as a tourist looking for the real deal. The menu changes a lot based on what they have. Service was excellent and so was the food. One of our favourite places on the trip so far!

08/08/2024: Great little restaurant, the welcome is very warm, you feel good there! The sangria and homemade lemonade were very cold and the dishes tasty! I highly recommend :)

23/09/2024: The nicest place with delicious pancakes in the finest old town. Both the pancake with comte cheese, ham and egg and the pancake with goat's cheese are highly recommended, and the children loved the banana split pancake. There was so much ice cream that there was also a taste test for the adults😋 Large free parking lot nearby. Booked a table via email and they responded very quickly.

15/09/2024: Delicious. Fresh products. Efficient service.

23/09/2024: A very good time spent at the Boudoir... During a weekend in Nice we were seduced by the menu which offered a variation of truffle dishes from starter to dessert. I particularly appreciated the little attention for my husband (birthday) and the humorous consideration by our waitress of a very small remark that we had made to her during our exchanges between each course. The only downside would be that when you occupy the back table you can hear (a little too much) the exchanges and teasing between members of the staff....

20/09/2024: So to make it very, very short, the young apprentice chef alone in the kitchen delighted us from start to finish. The head waitress alone in the room also ensured from start to finish. The meal was offered to us by our children and well we will come back with friends.

13/12/2024: No fault, great establishment, I recommend the cigaline..... excellent and good value for money

10/11/2024: Small restaurant in size but very large in quality. If you are looking for a place where you will be very pleasantly welcomed with a relaxed atmosphere, very good food and great value for money then this is the place to go. We go there mainly for the entrecote (photo attached) since we are meat lovers and I must say that we have never been disappointed. I would also like to point out that this is the best restaurant on the coast that I have tried. I place it 1st in my top of the best restaurants in the Alpes Maritimes (coastal) well before "le grill du boucher" (in Cagnes sur mer) and "golden beef" (in Antibes). The desserts are also very good. My darling, being Italian, approved the tiramisu and for my part, as a big chocolate lover, I really liked the mousse. If I had to find faults it would perhaps be: - its size; the room is small and can be quite noisy even if the atmosphere is friendly. - in mid-season, the outdoor terrace is installed so the door remains open; in the evening if you are not dressed warmly, it is possible to be cold (I am cold). On the other hand, no problem when the cool weather arrives since they have a covered terrace and the heated interior. >>> In short, if I have to recommend a restaurant in which you will not be disappointed, it’s definitely this one!

02/01/2025: We had a magical time. The setting is magnificent, the cuisine excellent and the service TOP Nothing to say from a quality/price point of view I highly recommend...

11/11/2024: Beautiful table around seafood, excellent langoustine bisque, well-cooked scallops and very good sea bream from the Bay of Cannes, generous in sauce. Service nothing to say, well done!

03/12/2024: simply fabulous. the rooms. the restaurants. the bar. the beach. everything was like a dream

03/12/2024: Prestigious place!!! Staff at your service... to do and do again, especially during these holiday periods. Very nicely decorated!!!
