    Relaxing vibe with cool breeze and sea view when you go upstairs. Their chips with cheese are real potatoes and not overly fried - recommend.

    We were very pleased about our experience at Waka Bar today. From the great location with a seat on the balcony to the friendly service to the delicious food and drinks (the nachos are absolutely recommended), nothing was left to be desired.

    Had the most amazing experience at waka bar on our trip to Nice. The staff is extremely friendly and patient. Service was great and the menu had great veg options. Great cocktails too and the view from the balcony is superb. Will definitely visit again when we are back in Nice.

    Walking along the Promenade we decided to stop for a drink. Glad we chose Waka. The playlist music selection was really good! The drinks we ordered were Rich B***h and a Mojito. Fantastic selections. We also ordered French Fries which were delicious and just across from the ocean, amazing views. Recommend!

    Just stopped in for a drink... a few drinks later, and this bar turned into a fun club. Good service and yummy cocktails. The staff were nice and did very well once it started to get busy. The apple martini was the best!!!!

    Nice place with magnificent sea view. We sat on the balcony and absorbed the late November sun, had good coffee and refreshing handmade lemonade before heading off to explore the old city.

    After walking around the streets of the old town section of Nice we stopped by here for a small bite and drinks on a sunny Saturday in early October. There is some seating above that has a great view of the beach and we were able to get a pair. We ordered a chicken sandwich to share and it was good for bar food and the drinks were strong especially the hangover.

    A nice bar with a great view that does balanced cocktail and good food. Sitting at the edge of the charming balconies at the upper floor you enjoy a beautiful view of the Angels bay. Ideal for a late lunch or an early cocktail.

    Amazing place, very good food and lovely staff! The prices are very reasonable for such quality and big portions, so don’t hesitate to sit here for breakfast or lunch. And views are just awesome!

    Loved the place. Location and ambiance are good. Some music will create better vibes. Good list of drinks and food. I enjoyed and the team was really nice. The terrace view upstairs is amazing.

    We were seated by chance as we liked its small balcony with wicker umbrellas overlooking the beautiful beach of Nice. Its dishes were all very tasty the mojitos was nice and the service from the waitress impeccable and very friendly to have a good time. Its prices within the area are reasonable. Very good, I would definitely recommend it!

    Such a fun night every time I went here. Was in Nice for almost 3 weeks and wound up here at least once every weekend. Staff are great fun and my terrible French was never an issue. The best way to describe the music is ‘a European’s interpretation of popular North American club music over the past decade.’ Personally, I loved the vibe. Also a great spot during the day - had a yummy salad and glass of wine looking out onto the boardwalk/ocean.

    We didn't get time to just sit on the beach and enjoy - partially because it was a pebble beach and was slightly painful to walk on, so we stopped at Waka bar! It had an upstairs balcony where you could sip your cocktail 🍸 and look out at the beautiful ocean while people watching the board walk. It was a great spot to rest our feet before our next adventure!

    Visited earlier today, 12th May 23. Very quiet given the time, however never too early for a quick drink and bite to eat. We were served promptly and politely by our waiter upstairs. Great service, food bites were amazing 😻- Bruschetta & loaded Fries with the Algerian sauce as a dip. Overall a very enjoyable experience. Thank you Waka bar! Great place and I would recommend. Best of luck for the summer season ahead.

    The view from the balcony was amazing. Inside of the restaurant was beautifully decorated. We only had drinks and my friend said her Aperol Spritz was very watered down and she’s had many of those in Nice so she’s a good judge.

    The best bar in Nice with a beautiful view of the beach and often caught the sunset from jus sitting at Waka bar. Very lively atmosphere with friendly and helpful staff. Awesome to have met the owner as well who was a kiwi that lived in Auckland and relocated to France. Great music and food as well. Definitely will be back again to visit next summer. Best local spot in Nice. Highly recommend.

    Cool music and great cocktails! Located under the arches of the old market in the old town, overlooking the beach - this is the place to relax with one of their cocktails or equally delicious cocktails. Slightly pricey maybe, but worth it.

    If you wanna have a lovely view of the beach during the day, and then at night you wanna have drinks and fun.. don't hesitate to come to Waka bar .. one of the best places in Nice

  • 4/5 Mark M. 5 months ago on Google
    A good place for drinks and food. We went in the morning and got a round of cocktails and some food. The cocktails were good and refreshing and priced at the standard rate. The food was incredible, we had the nachos and loaded fries which were incredible but unfortunately we could not finish them. This place also has water misters for when it gets hot

  • 5/5 Arkadiusz R. 7 months ago on Google
    Very delicious cocktails, drinks and soft drinks. served in an aesthetic way with fresh products. A great place overlooking the promenade, the sea and low-flying planes. A place for real connoisseurs.
