Les meilleurs restaurantsde cuisine française en Nice

15/06/2026: The food was amazing. We had a great time!

12/06/2026: I was planning to get a bit closer to my hotel, then happened upon this little Creperie near the Theatre National De Nice. A glass of wine a phenomenal crepe Basquaise! And a lovely green salad with simple, yet sublime, dressing. Fabulous! Highly recommend getting off of the heavily trafficked central square and find little gems like this!

18/05/2026: Fantastic place that we 100% recommend. We came as a family with two teenagers and loved it. It's a family-run restaurant, a mother and her two children. You can taste the love in their dishes, which are generous and homemade. A varied menu with both savory and sweet options, and everything is delicious. Very affordable prices and a warm welcome. We'll definitely be keeping this address for our next trip. Thanks again for everything, see you soon, don't change a thing! The family from Haute-Savoie

17/05/2026: We had a fantastic brunch! The service was very friendly and excellent!

17/05/2026: What a brilliant find this was. Le Bistrot de Jeff serves authentic, honest French cuisine. The food is delicious with a variety of daily offerings. Portions are generous and well priced. Jeff and his staff were attentive and friendly and we enjoyed our meals so much we are returning tomorrow evening. It’s worth the 5 minutes walk away from the tourist hotspot of the Old Town. Highly recommend this place. Ps we went back again a third time on our return journey. Still excellent and Max the chef is worth a Michelin ⭐️🤩

05/05/2026: Sometimes you just know a restaurant is going to knock your socks off when you walk in. Well, untie your shoes and get ready. Top notch service with a smile and a shockingly reasonable price for some out of this world food. Tourist friendly but far from a trap. There is such a careful attention to the quality of their ingredients - it’s the best tartare I’ve ever had and even the SALAD bangs. I want to eat until I fall asleep, just so I can eat more when I wake up. 6/5, no notes, merci beaucoup.

01/06/2026: We've eaten at this restaurant several times, and each visit has been excellent. The welcome is always warm and pleasant. The servers are very kind, attentive, and professional. They know their job perfectly and ensure that customers have a wonderful time. As for the menu, it's varied, and the dishes are always delicious, prepared with care, and of very high quality. It's a restaurant we greatly appreciate and recommend without hesitation for its excellent service and superb cuisine.

01/06/2026: Best meal in Nice! Lovely setting and such a carefully thought out fresh menu. Merci!

10/06/2026: We arrived after finding it through Googgle maps only to find a very rude and dismissive reception. The waitress barely gave us the time of day as if she couldn't be bothered with us. Granted she may have been busy but that is not the way you greet your clients. We asked if we could sit in the booths as we were three people (the booths have 2 tables for two) and we were rudely dismissed even though there was an empty booth. We decided to leave as they didn't deserve our custom.

10/06/2026: A truly wonderful culinary discovery

03/05/2026: We discovered it at her stand during the Fête des Mai in Nice and we had a slice of praline flan. Being big flan lovers, I found the texture just perfect and the taste amazing. It's a shame we don't live in Nice!

11/04/2026: We used Maryssweeties for our daughter's birthday and christening cake. Everything was done exactly as we'd hoped and with great care. The cream puffs were delicious and the tiered cake was magnificent. Everyone loved it! Thank you so much! 😋

23/05/2026: The pissaladière is excellent! It's a shame there's so little of it... The pan bagnat is good, but nothing special. The presence of olive pits inside bothered me a bit. The prices are reasonable. The service is quite slow; there's always a queue. I'm still giving the pissaladière 5 stars.

21/04/2026: Authentic Niçoise cuisine! Pissaladière just like we make it at home. The pan bagnat was excellent and generously filled. Now all that's left is to wait for the stuffed vegetables and the Swiss chard tart... I can't wait! The prices are no higher than anywhere else for such superior quality and taste!

13/05/2026: Excellent set menu: fresh produce and inventive, tasty cuisine as always

03/05/2026: Excellent cuisine, blending diverse flavors while remaining ultimately French. The atmosphere is intimate and pleasant.

06/06/2026: Excellent service, fresh products, very pleasant staff, I highly recommend it

06/06/2026: A compact and bijou restaurant, providing excellent nicoise dishes, with excellent service. We could not have had a nicer time!

12/06/2026: This was our favorite meal of our trip to Nice! Warning: Reservations are hard to come by we dropped by and only reservations available were for 9pm two nights later. We took it. The place is super relaxed. 5 maybe 6 tables which made the difficulty of reservations more understandable. Prix fix menu - 4 appetizers to choose from, 4 entrees and 4 desserts. We were there with somewhat of a limited diet, but the options were awesome. We got a cauliflower appetizer and an artichoke one. Both were excellent. We all had the cod for dinner also delicious - served in a bath of traditional fish soup and with potatoes. The dessert was also excellent - we got the goat cheese in olive oil and garlic, the cream cheese with blueberry compote, lemon cheesecake and cinnamon “tiramisu”. Every bite was full of flavor and such cool takes on the food. Now the intangibles - we arrived for our 9pm reservation, restaurant closes at 9:30 and we probably didn’t walk out until 11:15 and there was still another table of 8 people dining. The host/waiter, Sebastian, was awesome. So friendly and we at no point felt rushed. In fact the opposite. When our daughter was slow in finishing her meal he joked with her instead of hurrying us along. Once we finished our main dish, he casually brought us our dessert and because we didn’t order his favorite (we didn’t know) he brought us out an extra to enjoy. We felt a little bad so somewhat accelerated the dessert phase so we could square up and leave. Instead he was unhurried, he casually cleared our table and chatted with us for a bit. It took us another 15 minutes before we finally said could we get the bill. He brought it to us another 5-7 minutes later. We had a great experience and one of our best meals in France, if not the best.

08/06/2026: Visited this restaurant in 2023. Food was so good that now is 2026 but I still think about this meal sometimes in my life 😂 everything was so great, every dishes were so creative, tasted delicious, and looked good. It’s one of the best restaurant I have ever visited in Europe

14/06/2026: The flavour was unbelievable! I had the beef and ravioli, the beef was very tender with an amazing stew sauce very flavourful, the ravioli was fresh and tasted amazing, only wished I can eat this food everyday.

12/06/2026: Excellent! We ate the typical dish, Daube beef, and it was spectacular.

30/05/2026: Good evening, four of us had dinner. The food was very good, but I'm giving it only one star because of the disappointment with the service/treatment! We ordered fondue for two. We actually received a large pot that we couldn't finish, but since we weren't familiar with the place, we didn't ask questions. We don't eat a lot, so it could have been. Checking the receipt after paying, however, we realized that one amount was double, so it turned out that the waitress, though kind, had made a mistake when ordering and included a fondue for four people! It was their mistake, so we politely asked if there was any way to resolve it. It wasn't fair to pay €50 more (especially since we didn't actually eat those extra portions)! They weren't at all helpful, they just dropped the subject, and bye-bye, we left with a bitter taste in our mouths. I'm not writing this review for the €50 itself, but for the principle and the rudeness. We definitely won't be back, not us, and not even our friends in Nice.

26/05/2026: Best bar to visit if you’re in Nice and want a nice place to enjoy a glass of wine and some charcuterie!

30/05/2026: I went back to this bar where I'd been with friends who were regulars; and this time the welcome was disrespectful, almost rude. A completely surreal experience. Clearly, they didn't like the look of me. What a shame: I work nearby and live in Nice. I'm not some passing tourist they can just make fun of.

04/05/2026: We had good food for a good price which was served quite quickly! Definitely a recommendation - Merci beaucoup :)

25/02/2026: Nothing to say, really a very good restaurant, you eat well there, and a small point: thank you to McFly and Carlito, who voted it their favorite restaurant and now it's mine too.

23/02/2026: Great restaurant, friendly service. I recommend it.

11/06/2026: Franchin is an absolute standout in Nice. Chef Antoine Gandon delivers exceptional cuisine with creativity, precision, and outstanding ingredients. Every dish is beautifully crafted, the service is warm and attentive, and the overall experience is always excellent. A must-visit restaurant that perfectly combines tradition, elegance, and genuine hospitality.

03/06/2026: Over the years this has become my favorite restaurant in Nice. Filled with Belle Epoque details, it is a jewel among "touristy" restaurants - the staff is welcoming and attentive - the menu offers seasonal dishes (LOVE the zucchini blossoms!) and the quality never waivers. The presentation is lovely, and Chef Antoine makes sure that each table is enjoying their meal. Always a great dining experience for me!
