This review is strictly based upon our dining experiences (6 of us) at Lao Vientiane Restaurant…read more First of all...the name is deceiving to advertised as a Laotian restaurant. It IS NOT! It's a Vietnamese / something else and definitely NOT Lao or Thai. I asked our kind server if this was a Lao restaurant (hence the restaurant name) she looked at me like I was crazy for asking such question. Then she replied (No...its Vietnamese) The restaurant is very very very very small...if one blink, one will missed the restaurant. They have a total of 10 tables (2 people per table) and A server (ONE-server-probably the owner's daughter) was working the entire 10 tables. We were so hungry after traveling from Florence,Italy to Nice France on such a long drive. One would think the food would be outstanding considering how hungry we were. Oh la la...I have never had such awful Asian food in my life. The papaya salad had no flavor (it lacked all the ingredients of a tradition Lao or Thai papaya salad) the beef satay is beyond salty, the lemon grass beef smells like it was spoiled, the chicken curry is horrific and the pad Thai was made with fat noodle instead of the regular pho noodle. Speaking of pho, one of us ordered pho and she couldn't even stomach it. The flavor for all of our items were off and could NOT stomach the food. I am so sorry to give such a review...when it comes to food, we have high expectations and standards. we eat out around the would and love Asian food. What we had tonight was anything but. We will NOT be coming back to this restaurant.

2nd time visits in 3 day Stick to the basic... order pho, fried rolls, buon chon .. you will be…read morehappy and satisfied. Main dishes tend to be salty but its okay to eat with rice and leave out the sauce. Location is few blocks away from the waterfront.

Small nice restaurant in the Old-Nice who proposes essentially fondues bourguignonne (meat dipped…read morein hot oil), meats but also Savoyard (cheese fondue). Good atmosphere, from the arrival with offered apéritif (punch) in a small dedicated space then. After that you will sit at your table. If you come here you have to eat a fondue that is the speciality. I enjoy the Bacchus fondue where the meat is cooked in red wine sauce, what gives a very good taste. If you don't like fondue you can eat other things but I don't know if it's really good. Correct prices 13EUR on average. Do not take dessert, between the tiramisu and the crème brûlée it was not really a success! We finish the meal on the offered liqueur, it's a pity that it is water-down... And at the end by going out we still remember our meal thanks to the magnificent smell incrusted in clothes... Good points : originality, atmosphere, fondues Bad points : desserts, smells

This is one of the hidden jewels in Nice. Not very easy to find but once you dine, you will have to…read morego back for more. It is in the basement so from the entrance, it is difficult to see inside. Once you enter, the sit you in the nice sitting area and serve you a small drinks and olives. While sitting they show you the menu and take order. When the food is about to be ready, they show you the table. The portions are not small. I tried mixed meat foundu, cheese foundu and a order of salads. Be carful with ordering salad, it is a huge portion. The foundu comes with fries and eggplants. Also very large portions. Highly recommended

Le Paradis Marin is located in one of the typical stretches of restaurants that would seem like the biggest tourist trap in the newly renovated port of St Laurent du Var, in the vicinity of Nice. I don't want to go on about all the signs that say don't come near these places, but I have to admit: I was sooo wrong. The setting is pleasant, reception by host very warm and friendly, no problem substituting when ordering, the food was awesome, all of it, we all shared a little bit. The service was outstanding. My wife had grilled Sole that was better than any she's ever had. She said it felt like the fish had just jumped out of the water an hour ago!!!! The desserts were out of this world, and there was a big variety. All that and a great Rosé, around €50 per person. A phenomenal value. Sorry"le Paradis Marin" for pre- judging. I'm glad they couldn't read my mind when we sat down!
