    I really enjoyed my meal and the service was great. The lobster risotto was excellent. The tuna was good and the service was excellent. I would recommend coming here for a nice lunch. The prices are affordable and the food quality is great. They also have a great selection of wines and other types of food on their menu.

    My girlfriend was able to make a reservation via instagram but lost her phone on the flight which caused us to confuse the date of the dinner. When we arrived they informed us they were fully booked but quickly found a table and chairs and made us a place to sit. Once a nicer table inside was ready they moved us inside. Jerome went above and beyond to make our night special. Food, service and wine all exceptional. Highly recommend

    A great place to eat fine french cuisine. It does not have a Michelin star but it's in the Michelin guide and also among the Gault&Millau recommendations with 12,5/20 points. Even if I've noticed it seem to have the same managers as Bistro Marin next door, the service at Le sejour is better by far!! I recommend you book a table in advance, usually for the next day is ok.

    The piece itself is quite cute... Got lots of little pictures and situated in a nice snug street... The food was good... We got the pate and the lobster risotto.. the pate was really nice. The risotto had a bisque type sauce... But to be honest i expected the risotto to have more flavour. A couple of pieces of lobster but in the end just felt like you were eating a light cheese risotto rather than lobster or seafood.. This felt more like an entree too. Staff were great and answered all questions. Good with English too. Next time I go I'll try something else, place is worth going back to just gonna try something else than the risotto.

    I’m still at the restaurant and leaving this review immediately because my experience was THAT incredible. The food was amazing, completely deserving of the Michelin rating - but what sets this restaurant apart from others is the impeccable service. I was dining alone and Gerome took such fantastic care of me, even down to remembering my name the entire meal! His knowledge of the menu and recommendations were spot on, in fact the entire staff is deserving of 5+ stars if it was an option. HIGHLY recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Nice or the French Riviera even, it’s worth the trip!

    Very welcoming service with high quality food. We tried foie gras and gamberoni as starter, lobster risotto and sea bass as main. Everything was good and the experience was beyond expectations.

    Not quite a Michelin star restaurant but definitely featured in the Michelin guide.... Had a wonderful French meal (foie gras, a lemon souffle & a mocktail as I'm sober) but loved talking to the owner Marie Therese. Charming place that is as comfortable as any living room!!!

    This is a must try if you’re visiting Nice. I did not have a reservation and arrived during prime dinner time. I was 100% expecting the host to turn me away for the evening, but she happily told me to back an hour or so later and that she would write my name down. I did return and she had in fact wrote my name down! Aside from the incredibly friendly staff (everyone really seemed to enjoy working there. You can see in the way that they walked and interacted with diners), the food was superb. They don’t have a physical menu or QR code, rather a small chalk board with the offerings. I had the lobster risotto, which you cannot leave here without trying. It was rich, creamy and the risotto had the perfect bite. I recommend sharing because the portion size was quite generous and leaves you room to try another dish or dessert. Overall, the food, service and ambiance of the restaurant was fantastic. I can see why they’re in the Michelin Guide!

    I feel guilty for giving so many places five stars, but they all truly deserve it, this place included. This was an impromptu selection but deserving of its reviews. Everything on the menu sounded amazing as the things we did order were. The staff were friendly and helped us decide based on our preferences. Highly recommend the scallops with risotto and the Tartine bread with ricotta.

    They took us as one of the last tables of the night, and they were so wonderful! Everything on the menu was a highlight. I truly enjoyed the pork chop and the lobster risotto. When I am in Nice again, I will for sure return!

    We walked in without an appointment on a friday night and so lucky to have the last 2 seater table! Best of all, they were so courteous n nice. The food was awesome n the desserts were delicately made; delicious of course! We had a wonderful dinner on our last night in Nice. The pleasant experience here made our trip to Nice... Splendid! Thanks! Sharing a few photos...

    Really amazing dinner and service. We arrived late and left late and they were so kind to allow that. Price was very reasonable too. Will be back soon!

  • 5/5 Chris P. 1 year ago on Google
    Dined here on our last night in Nice and it was perfect. The staff is so friendly and the food is great!! The scallops were tasty. The risotto with octopus and saffron was near perfect (octopus was slightly overcooked). The lobster risotto was really good. The mille feulle was the best have ever had. A great spot for a great meal!

    We thoroughly enjoyed our meal at Le Sejour. Attentive and charming waitstaff. Unique experience between the staff detailing the menu options at your table with a board to the creative and delicious dishes. We had the artichoke gazpacho, prawns, mushroom risotto, and cod fish. Appreciated the staff walking us through the wine list to find the appropriate recommendation.
