We filled ourselves up with some hummus, haloumi, falafel and chicken souvlaki. All of it was fresh and delicious and had the perfect amount of spice. We sat outside as the weather was nice, but the inside decor looked nice also. All in all a great lunch in Nice. Would definitely recommend to others.

We ordered a double round of snails, plus shrimp crudo, steak tartare, and octopus to share. Everything was fresh, light, and had unique flavor combos. I also got an espresso martini for my fix, but honestly, I wouldn't recommend it. It wasn't great and came with a straw (lol)?!? Now, here's where it got wild. The staff, 4 of them, were literally screaming and fighting with each other in the middle of service with hands raised, ready to throw down. I've never seen anything like it in a restaurant, and it turned what could have been a nice meal into something that felt trashy. Our grumpy waiter was one of the people involved, which just made it worse. Food-wise, this place is a 5. But with the staff's behavior, I'm being generous giving it a 3. Honestly, I wouldn't go back because of that.

The saffron and honey ice cream was the best thing I've had in France so far. I will make a second trip backup the restaurant before I leave Nice just for that ice cream. It's seriously that good. The owner is a very kind man. One of the people I was with kept coughing so he brought her a pinch of saffron to help. I would recommend this place to any traveler who is open to trying new foods.

I wanted to love this place. I really did! Chose to come here after reading reviews, but was…read moredisappointed by the high prices and small portions. I ordered chicken and rice + veggies, and received lamb and rice + veggies. Was still tasty despite the mix-up, but the portion seemed small for 14 euro. Wife got the veggie soup, but didn't really enjoy it enough to eat it (to be fair, this was right before a nasty stomach bug took her down). I had a taste and thought the soup was good, if not a little oily. Left it there uneaten but were still charged full price. The owner was really nice (once we decided to order wine in addition to our two entrees), but sadly I can't recommend unless you're desperate for vegan food and have euro to burn.

The highlight was the local figs, feta and heirloom tomato appetizer. All 3 were amazing, and he covered them in a delicious black-olive olive oil that really came through in a fantastic way. We also got a delicious pesto pasta with homemade pasta and (you guessed it) high end olive oil. This was quite good as well. The owner was extremely kind, the service was fast and pleasant, and he truly looked to enjoy sharing his craft. It's a small homey restaurant on a crowded part of old town, but don't let that scare you away, definitely worth stopping by when you're in Nice!

Service- Nadim (owner) was lively and very attentive. A Nice Old Town celebrity chef :) Ambiance- Italian hole in the wall. I would highly recommend this place and I am looking forward to returning. Very small menu and you must make reservations in advance as the place only sits around 10 people. Open for lunch. Euro only.

Excellent service and food here. We made reservations ahead of time because of the reviews and were…read morevery happy we stopped by. Service was very friendly and helpful. We ordered the octopus salad and it was a very generous portion with an incredibly fresh tasting grilled octopus. It was a perfect size to share or you could have it as a light entree. Menu is small but what they do, they do very well. They have both indoor and patio seating. Aside from the tasty food the most memorable thing here was the wonderful service. We were seated right away and had a nice bread bowl with oil and balsamic vinegar to start as well as drink orders placed. This is not the place to order drinks but they do have quite a few non alcoholic drink options -juices, soda, etc. Overall I'd highly recommend checking this place out for lunch or dinner.

I ordered the sole, which was cooked perfectly and tasted wonderful. My friend had what they described as a clam linguini (which was actually more of a spaghetti). I tried some, and we both agreed that the dish came up short because it was missing something - maybe garlic? Despite the lack of favor in my friend's dish, but entrées portions were very generous, and our server recommended a very nice bottle of local red wine which we both very much enjoyed. We also shared a plate of specialty ham, which unfortunately was way too salty for either of us to have more than a few bites. Bottom line: Exceptional service and great prices. We enjoyed our visit enough that we might give them another try the next time we find ourselves in Nice.

Also, as someone with dietary restrictions (gluten free and dairy free) who has traveled through a handful European countries and hasn't had the greatest eating experiences, the Lebanon menu made what I could eat very clear and the staff made sure that I had a nutritious, yummy meal. 5 stars without a doubt!

La Trinquette's owner actively supports local folk and jazz bands and strives to give them wider visibility. And oh yeah, the food. I love their mussels (Moules) and thought I would never order anything else on the menu. During our last visit the server encouraged my wife and I to try their signature dish, the whole fish. Although I could not understand her description in French I could see her enthusiasm for this dish, and enthusiasm does not require a translation! So we both ordered the whole fish. I'm originally from Seattle and now live in San Diego so I've eaten quite a bit of seafood. Honest folks my wife and I rated this as our favorite fish dinner, ever! Lastly, La Trinquette sits quietly, somewhat undiscovered alongside Villefranche marina. The main tourist zone and train station are east of the castle. La Trinquette is just west of the castle. Although easy walking distance most tourists don't venture past the castle. Better for me as I can dine with the locals!
