I found this restaurant while on the train en route to Nice from Avignon. After spending a rainy…read moreday in Provence and missing out on the quintessential provençal foods, I was dreaming of light and fresh dishes. Despite the good reviews on Google and Yelp, I was nervous to go, thinking about the tourist traps in Nice and the few bad reviews. Well, I'm here to say, this place was amazing. It was just what I wanted. Although I made reservations, it was not busy so I simply sat down. Ordered the Nicoise ravioli and cod with mussels and aioli. My husband loved the ravioli and my dish, man was I pleased. The mussels were literally some of the best above ever had. They were small and sweet and certainly not frozen. Ate aioli was also so delicious and my meal overall was so satisfying and delicious. One of the best I've had in my few short days in France. I also feel its important to mention the waiter, who was so calm and kind. I can't recommend this place

There appeared to be some outdoor seating as well in the street too. The server also seems to cook there, as he had an adorable little chefs hat. He was also helpful in explaining the different items on the menu too. I had the set menu, of which there are choices within three categories. For starter I had a seafood soup, which seemed to be from a stew of all sorts, principally mussel, but a little bit intense for my taste. The entrée was a nice little lasagna with a Nicois flavoured twist. The ice cream here can be chosen from several different flavours, it's not the best, but alright for what it is. Overall I'd recommend this place if you're feeling a bit indecisive about what to have like I was. J'ai trouvé ce restaurant en passent le long de la rue Pairoliere de la vielle ville. C'est un endroit petit, avec des décorations Niçois à l'intérieur. Il semble des tables dehors dans la rue aussi. Le serveur a porté une toque adorable, il était très utile pour expliquer le menu. Moi j'ai pris le menu fixe, avec des choix dans les trois catégories. Pour l'entrée j'ai eu la soupe, qui semblait un peu intensif pour moi. Le plat principal était une lasagna avec une saveur Niçois. La glace peut choisir parmi plusieurs saveurs différents, ce n'est pas mémorable, mais c'est définitivement une glace. Je le recommande si vous êtes un peu indécis pour le déjeuner comme moi.

Il est âgé, peut-être âgé d'environ 55 à 60 ans. Pire encore, s'il est même le propriétaire, il n'a pas de classe et a trop de valeurs morales, sans aucune éducation du tout. En fait, quand je suis entré, nous nous sommes salués et nous lui avons dit juste pour une personne, s'il vous plaît. Soudain, juste comme ça et sans faire aucun effort, il a dit : " Il n'y a pas de place. " Puis j'ai dit : " Et à l'extérieur ? " Il a répondu : " Il fait froid d'être servi et manger à l'extérieur est froid, hein... " Bien qu'à mon avis, il y ait eu un peu ensoleillé et qu'il y ait une mise en place sur quelques tables prêtes pour que les clients s'assoient, en plus c'est le bon choix du client, alors qu'est-ce que c'est pour la préparation ? De plus, dans les restaurants voisins, il y a aussi des clients qui mangent à l'extérieur...... Puis j'ai dit : " Que diriez-vous de 15 à 20 minutes après mon retour ? " Et imaginez que c'est ce qu'il a répondu : " Ah Madame, que voulez-vous que je fasse, pour vous laisser vous asseoir sur les genoux de quelqu'un ?! " Je l'ai regardé, fermant les yeux, inclinant la tête tout en soupirant négativement, et il essayait d'expliquer, mais je l'ai ignoré en sortant et j'ai été très, très déçu car j'ai été très mal reçu et je me suis senti très insulté. Honte ! Ils ont peut-être de la bonne nourriture, mais désastreusement et très misérablement, il n'y a aucune courtoisie du tout ! Est-ce ce que nous appelons le service d'accueil ? Et quel VIEIL HOMME ODIEUX ! Ce qui se passe revient !

My girlfriend and I met a new friend here for dinner, and it was awesome. We ate outside on the…read morepatio adjacent the square, and it was a great experience. It rained a little bit, but the patio was tented and had extendable flaps as well, so it was perfect. The food was great, and it was also reasonably priced. My girlfriend and I each had a meat entrée coupled with an appetizer, and we split a side and a dessert. We also had a couple drinks, but our combined bill was under $80 which was awesome considering the quality of the food. Additionally, we kind of stumbled onto this place because few other places were open the Sunday night before L'Assomption. This place was open, and it worked out great. So, if you're looking for a place with good food that doesn't break the bank and is open at off hours, I highly recommend coming here! Happily, Clayton Cohn

All the food was great, but the Petits Farcis is an absolute must try. Thank me later. Ambience was cool as well. It is a small, local establishment specializing in Niçoise cuisine. It was nice out, so I sat outside on the other side of the sidewalk separating the restaurant from the outdoor dining area. It was right alongside the street as well, so you really got the feeling like you were truly a part of the city while dining. Highly recommend! Enthusiastically, Clayton Cohn

The staff was off... very very off .. I have received better service at the overly touristy places ... we ordered a bottle of champagne to start with , the first glass was poured and the bottle was taken away .. once we finished the glass , we were sitting with EMPTY glasses for at least 15 -20 min! Having the bottle next to us , we would pour the champagne ourselves, however the bottle was nowhere to be found. So was the staff .. Restaurant at this point was empty , there was one more couple on the balcony. It seemed as we had 3-4 people serving our table but none had the clue what the other did. Had to ask for our bottle and the server had no idea we even ordered one and went searching for it. This experience repeated ... so strange. Ask me which dish was memorable - I could not tell you.. looking back at the photos - everything was fine , but not great and not worth the price we paid at the end , and definitely not worth all the praises. The view is nice, of course , but the place next to it seemed more fun with the same view really. Disappointed!

While in Nice for work, some colleagues of mine and I were able to secure a last-minute reservation with gorgeous views overlooking the water. We each chose the coursed meal for 88euro that didn't disappoint! Each dish was carefully presented in a masterfully creative way that almost made me feel guilty for 'destroying' it. But, I'm glad I did! The starter was Pressé of foie gras scented with fig, beetroot millefeuille and port & fig coulis, with pickles. The main was the fresh catch of the day with zucchini and crusty flower, caramelized onion and ginger. The dessert was Lemon and red berries - Grenache scented with lime, red berries clafoutis, bergamote orange sorbet, crumble and fresh fruit Each dish was delightful and delicious to the palette, stand alone or when paired with wine. I highly recommend La Réserve if I'm Nice, France. You won't be disappointed!

We thought we were going to order two mixed salads and one pizza to share. But the waiter - while admitting he wasn't doing a good job as a salesman - said the salads were very large and we should just share one. Once he understood we were also sharing the pizza - he took away our plates and had them split the pizza and plate it before bringing it to our table. We appreciated that. And the salad was huge - we ended up sharing and still leaving about 1/4 in the bowl. The only mistake was mine. They brought 2 oils and 1 vinegar to the table to dress the salad. The larger oil was filled with herbs and looked interesting so I put that on my salad. Holy mother of fire eaters - that was the spicy hot oil meant to be put on the pizza if so desired. Thank goodness we had ordered a pichet of rose so I was able to quench the flames spewing from me. Overall - great service, fine ambiance, and good food.

My family and i just had dinner here tonight. We were lucky that they seated us even though we…read moredidnt have a reservation, a good start to our night. We ordered the local specialties: stuffed veal, meat balls with pasta, gnocchi, ratatouille and stuffed veggies. All the food we ordered were spot on. I was surprised with the veal, it had crunchiness on the outside and the ratatouille paired the veal perfectly. My family enjoyed the food they ordered as well including the crème brûlée and tiramisu. So glad the food came in fast as were hungry from an all day trip outside of Nice. Service was the best part of the experience. The servers were attentive and kind. I would eat here again when i come back to Nice.

There was one other couple there; Americans like us. Also no reservations. Within ten minutes the place nearly filled up with groups having reservations. Table for twelve was a patriarch and his kids their spouses and the grands. A table for six seemed to be a local football club. All locals. Others showed up over the following hour we were there, all apparently locals as well. I preferred their pain bagnat over what I typically pick up on the plage at Juan Les Pins (but the wife was the other way around). The courgette beignets were memorable and even the mesclun was special. Points for a simple ambiance and great non-intrusive staff. Looking forward to going to try more of the menu.
