Les meilleurs restaurants en Nice

08/09/2024: Magnificent green place, restaurant nestled in a lush garden of a hotel near the sea, the menu changes every day, the dishes are succulent, a great time had and the welcome and the service perfect Everything was perfect thank you

29/07/2024: A restaurant that would have everything to be top but which ultimately does not have the means to match its ambitions. First impression on the phone failed with my reservation which apparently was not marked. Either. Second impression upon entering the reception, no one to welcome until I realized that a person was hiding behind their counter without saying hello. Strange feeling. Third impression upon arriving at the outdoor terrace, around the swimming pool: nice setting with its majestic tree, its parrots and the swimming pool. On the other hand, little maintenance: dead leaves all over the parasol and on the paths. I even saw a little mouse in the bushes. Not to mention the mosquitoes which are very present from start to finish. They quickly bring us the cocktail cards and menus. First disappointment: not possible to have caipirinha because no more cachaca... Really? Then comes our two cocktails. My Mai Tai was okay. On the other hand, the Margarita was really not great, or even not good. In addition, for 12 euros per cocktail, no decoration, no fancy. For a hotel restaurant called "Jungle Art", it's borderline acceptable. And the worst thing is that we waited a really long time before getting it (we were the first and only ones seated at the table). It's time for the amuse bouche: a small round bread with a little tomato sauce... frankly, that's not what you expect from this type of restaurant. Where is the work and taste research? The starters arrive. Not bad for once: the goat cheese and the Thai salad are well made. Then the dishes: the mushroom risotto was excellent. Well done. Truly a success. On the other hand, the tagine was very dry and tasteless. Normally it smells like the spices typical of this dish. Nothing here. The vegetables were OK but the whole thing was so-so. The desserts, pineapple and tiramisu were ok but again, no fantasy, no research. There's no point going to a restaurant to eat something ordinary. Finally, the service, I had to ask three times to get a carafe of water. I was never asked if I wanted a glass of wine or anything. Help. And then it must be said, it was slow between two courses. Too slow for a restaurant of this ambition. If the manager of this restaurant or hotel reads this comment: you have your work cut out for you to try to get things back on track!
