Les meilleurs restaurantsde cuisine française en Nice

23/01/2026: Food was fine. Owner initially friendly then got pushy and in your face. Basically wouldn’t let me leave without leaving a tip. Will not be going back. Pretty rude.

23/01/2026: When we entered the restaurant, we were greeted by a pleasant waitress who greeted us with a positive attitude and a smile. Then we were served by an annoying man who didn't seem to be enjoying himself; he was nervous and constantly making comments. The experience was ruined. The food was tasty, but nothing special. We ordered lamb shank and a salad.

29/09/2024: Very good brunch, but the prices are rather high for the portion size.

29/09/2024: Exceptional service and great food.

13/09/2025: We had a few hours to kill before a flight so chose Le 3e for a lazy lunch - what a fantastic choice. The service was great and dining whilst overlooking the Cote d’Azur is always a pleasure. We chose the Chef’s selection lunch menu - which included 3 courses, a glass of wine and a coffee for 55€. To start we had a delicious prawn and black garlic carpaccio - a work of art. For main course it was Sea Bass - cooked to crispy perfection - and placed upon a deconstructed moules-frites with fondant style potatoes, mussels, shallots and a foamy buttery sauce - absolutely to die for. Then to finish we could choose a desert off the a la carte menu - so we tried the hot chocolate and caramel cookie with ice cream. Which I can only describe as heavenly. The glass of rosé we had included was very nice (4.1 on vivino) and the wine list seemed fairly priced for the location. Having just spent 10 nights dining in Monte Carlo I would put this food up there alongside anything we had there - not just technically but in flavour. And the lunch menu is phenomenal value for the quality of the food. Congratulations to the chef and the team - we will return.

26/08/2025: My favorite secluded spot in Nice. Perfect for relaxing after work. It's not on the street, but away from all the noise, yet right by the sea. The staff is friendly. The service is fantastic. The atmosphere is spotless and generally quiet. There's also live music on summer evenings. If you're looking for Eros Ramazzotti-style music, delicious wines, and copieux plates, you should definitely try it.

17/01/2026: Amazing restaurant overlooking the port of Nice. Lovely service and a very warm, family-run atmosphere. The best crêpe I've had in France was here. Highly recommended, cozy, and with very good prices. They also speak in Spanish, which I loved.

04/01/2026: Family meal between Christmas and New Year's. The food was so good you could lick your plate clean. It was simple and excellent. A great place.

16/12/2024: Very nice experience, delicious food and top service.

16/12/2024: We had a great time for our company's end of year meal. Everything was perfect: the private room decorated for Christmas, the staff who took care of us with great professionalism, the cozy atmosphere and above all an excellent meal. Thank you.

09/07/2025: We went for lunch. Our waiter was very friendly and spoke excellent English. He talked us through the menu and made recommendations. The calamari was among the best I've ever had, with a unique texture unlike what I've had before. It was ace! The bourride was also lovely, and the wine suggested with it was also lovely! An excellent meal and a steal at the price.

09/07/2025: Have been here several times and been very satisfied in every way. Today we were back but thought the food might not quite live up to the same level as before. But otherwise very good. Service top notch and so cozy.

20/01/2025: Hello to the entire La Petite Famille team, I wanted to send you this little note to thank you for the incredible welcome we received during our visit to you. Your name, La Petite Famille, is perfectly chosen! The whole team was remarkably kind and caring. We really enjoyed being able to chat with you, which made our experience even warmer. The raclette we tasted was absolutely delicious, with cheese of exceptional quality. We felt like home, and that’s a rare and precious feeling. Without a doubt, as soon as I return to Valfréjus, I will come back to your place with great pleasure. Thank you again for this great experience and for the love you put into everything you do. See you soon! Lila

19/01/2025: Wow, what a find. Service was friendly and the food and drinks were amazing! Highly recommend.

23/06/2025: We were thrilled with the fresh seafood on the platter! The shrimp and snails (we tried the latter for the first time) were simply unbelievably delicious!

15/06/2025: A very nice family-run seafood joint. The surroundings are not particularly exciting - it's situated next to a busy thoroughfare and in the shade of the buildings, but the food is worthwhile to sit down and enjoy your time. The selection of oysters, prawns and seafood is fantastic.

26/01/2026: As a long-time customer, I really like this place for its value for money, decor, location, etc. My only slight complaint is that I find the markup on the wine list too high. The food menu could perhaps use an update, as it's been the same for years.

24/01/2026: Roof was leaking and we We’re dining while getting rained on and had our umbrellas Open. No apologie or offer to reseat. Food was okay, but Prices were unacaptable. Pizza 28€, Pasta 38€-55€. No complimentary bread or olives etc. No Tap-Water so we had to pay 9€ for a small water.

04/01/2026: I booked the entire venue for a retirement party. The meal was excellent, including a buffet-style aperitif. The service was attentive and efficient. There was also the option to dance. Aurélie and her husband contributed to the success of my evening.

23/12/2025: Nice neighborhood brasserie! Friendly service with a smile and a kind word!

12/12/2025: What a great time! We were getting together with former colleagues and it was an extremely pleasant evening! The setting, with its open kitchen, makes you feel right at home. The waitress was very friendly, professional, and patient. Finally, the food was excellent (beef stew with gnocchi, Niçoise platter, gnocchi with gorgonzola, scallop risotto… and the Swiss chard tart!!!) And the prices were very reasonable. I highly recommend this place: plus, we were able to park easily this Saturday!

11/12/2025: A very, very nice place for lunch.

12/12/2025: We order from Marie regularly. The cakes are always as good as they are beautiful. We highly recommend them.

04/12/2025: Excellent place for birthday cakes.

04/02/2026: I ordered the most expensive pasta on the menu with octopus and calamari, and it was honestly unacceptable. The octopus was clearly undercooked and unpleasant to eat, which is shocking at this price point. Service was poor throughout the evening and did nothing to improve the experience. When I complained, the chef came over and suggested I could “just eat the rest if it tastes okay,” instead of actually addressing the problem. Expensive, careless, and deeply disappointing, definitely not worth it.

03/02/2026: Very generous portion. Excellent plate of Niçoise specialties.

05/01/2026: It was truly one of the best experiences I’ve ever had! You absolutely have to experience it at least once in your lifetime. The food was incredible, and the wine pairings were some of the best I’ve ever tasted. The staff was outstanding, with such a deep knowledge of both the food and the wines. To top it all off, we received a beautiful journal from Chef Jan at the end of the night—a thoughtful gift that perfectly captured the essence of such a memorable evening. We’re already planning to visit Chef Jan’s other locations in South Africa. Thank you again for an unforgettable experience! We’ll always cherish this special night.

15/10/2025: It is an impressive journey in JAN in Nice. We can feel the idea the chief would like to bring to us for each dish. Really impressed by the cheese room. The service and vibe are quite good and comfortable. Worth to visiting again! Also the Rusks , it is good!

10/12/2025: A great coffee place for mornings. Pleasant and local athmosphere

06/12/2025: I can't rate the food as I only drank there, but the music was fantastic! Claudio and Freddie, with Freddie Hall on vocals. Extraordinary! Thank you, gentlemen! And thank you to La Civette!
