    Phenomenal restaurant. They do not accept bookings, and they are very good, so expect long queues. If you come by opening (19:00), you may have a great chance of getting a table 😁 Excellent implementation of small, tapas-style dishes. High quality seafood. They also have full -sized dishes as well and my grilled sea bream was delicious. The ceviche, the fried mullet, the marinated sardines, and the tuna tartar were all excellent. Of course expect the cost to be commensurate with excellent ingredients and good implementation. Highly recommend.

    Wonderful wonderful experience we had. The waiting queue was long so we registered our name and then rested on the beach before coming back. The waiters and waitresses were attentive. The pastries served in the beginning were so incredibly delicious. We were very happy with the food we ordered, tasty and visually pleasing. We could see how the chefs preparing our food through the open kitchen which was cool. The lighting of the space was beautiful.

    Nice place, I didn’t like the food too much as I don’t like fancy food. The food is well prepared but it’s a lot of different flavors in the original food that made me not like it. But I recommend if you are looking for a fancy type of food, and their prices are reasonably cheap

    Lovely food, well-priced 3 course lunch. Waiters and waitresses were sweet and polite and the view from the outside seating towards the beach was refreshing. Each dish was really tasty with a great combination of flavours, some unexpectedly working well together. The photos feature the Chickpeas salad, Scallop cerviche (with avocado and passionfruit), the Dacquoise chocolat (with hibiscus sorbet and pepper - great combination that teased the taste buds) and the Financier with raspberry and rose yoghurt.

    Absolutely perfect. They run a show here. We waited for around 20-25min and were served drinks while waiting. The food came in quickly and it was stunning. So delicious. I'd come again if I lived here and I don't even like fish.

    Looks like a fish bar, than something more serious. Easy testy dishes, very touristic, very small portions, prices higher than average, but food is good, if you looking something light and easy with glass of wine. But if you want real fish, or oysters, you can find better place with rich fish menu

    We got there square on 19:00 at opening and already half the tables were full with a line lasting until after we left. Staff were welcoming, fun and very quick. Food was interesting and tasty. I’d recommend the tom yum pollock especially, it was served in a black sauce and had lovely light Thai flavoring. The fish was smooth and fresh. 👍 Enjoyed!

    Came here right when they opened, there was a small queue. The oysters were what we came for, and it was pretty good. The tartare was quite refreshing. The potato was a good side dish. I wouldn’t recommend the avocado and scallop, the flavor was awkward, tho the presentation looked good. The servers were friendly and engaging, always smiling and sometimes even crack jokes with us. Recommend if you’re around and looking for oysters.

    Closer to a 4.75 , everyone left this restaurant happy and raving over the food. We started with oysters they ran out of mussels which is what we were excited for. Overall the service was friendly and attentive, food was delicious, we did wait an hour to eat there was a line and we were a party of 6. Definitely get a table as it gets packed fast around dinner time.

    That’s for sure my favourite resto in Nice! The design of the place is beautiful, simple yet cool, the staff is extremely friendly and the food is just Devine. I tried mackerels sashimi, scallops ceviche and some kind of a meat-based main dish (was it veal?) and all of the dishes were prepared on the highest possible level. The restaurant doesn’t take reservations so you need to patiently wait in pretty long queues but I guarantee you, it’s worth it :)

    It could have been 5* if their reservation / waiting policy would be better. Instead you have to wait on a queue for a long time because it’s not possible to reserve in advance. Come pretty early if you can to avoid it. Otherwise, food was pretty good, fish was fresh and tasty and service was friendly and fast. The best were the razor clams and the salmon carpaccio was also solid. However, ceviche was a bit disappointing despite having all the right ingredients it was missing some acidity/spiciness. Good wine list though, and pretty good desert as well.

    I visited recently on a short trip to Nice. When I read this was a top spot for seafood I had to try it. Based on other google reviews I arrived just before 7 to get a first seating, but I think you are also fine to show up around 8:00/8:15. I sat at the bar where I was able to watch the plating and preparation. While this was fun, I realized that my dishes, coming out first, were more rushed than others and packed a few details, like lemon for the oysters and strawberries and basil with dessert, leaving my dessert a bit bland. However, the seafood was fresh and creative! A true treat!

    Came here for dinner two out of three nights in Nice. The oyster Fine de Claire & Clams Cassolette are fresh and good! The roasted whole fish is good. Out of expectation. We want to order again for the second night. But it’s sold out. So if you want to order it. Better come early. Or by luck if come late. Nori Tom Yum Pollock is a good mix of Thai style and chef idea. Roasted white sesame on top of the Pollock. The sauce is black sesame blend. Overall price is budget, not expensive. Service is good here. Would definitely come again when we visit Nice!

    Absolutely pleasant dinner. The waitress was so kind and professional. The little fish balls were so good. But somebody needs to talk about the complementary pastries with seaweed! She said it doesn’t have a name and it was created from their bakery. Seriously these are the stars of the meal. I’d literally offer to buy them takeaway. The restaurant doesn’t take reservations, so you need to be there early. By the opening hours at 7pm on a Friday evening, the tables were already filled.

    Fantastic food, I’d recommend making a reservation beforehand though because it’s very busy. Some tables are on the side of the road and it’s a bit slanted but we didn’t reserve ahead so we didn’t get a good pick for tables. Even though our seating area wasn’t optimal, the food is just amazing that you end up not caring .. Highly recommend!

    The scallop has a very interesting taste with the passion fruit sauce and I like it. White fish I feel like missing some spicy ingredients to make it more interesting. Aubergine is a little bit too salty. It's nice to eat there.

    Stumbled upon this hidden gem late at night when we arrived hungry in Nice. The ambience was lively, and food was amazing!! The fish tasted incredibly fresh and light, and the vegetables were cooked perfectly. They even filleted our entire roasted sea bream for us! The lime sorbet with meringue was also an incredible flavor combination and creative dessert! Definitely would recommend.

  • 5/5 S C. 1 year ago on Google
    Recommended by locals and I’d highly recommend to seafood lovers. I’d describe the dishes as sashimi tapas because the seafood is mostly uncooked. The must-try dish is sardine. Service is very attentive and friendly. Very good price too.

    It was my first day in Nice and I had an absolutely lovely time here for my first meal! The seafood dish I ate was fresh, and the waiters were very friendly 🙂 they were even willing to chat with me a little in my poor French! The prices were very reasonable and the food completely delicious. This is definitely a place to return to!

  • 5/5 Yumi S. 1 year ago on Google
    We had a very pleasant dinner here. Staff were very friendly and food was excellent. Very reasonably priced. The whole fish was very fresh and soft, highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Simon 2 years ago on Google
    This is a really nice sea food restaurant. The portions are small but rich in taste and flavor. I like the idea how they combine different kind of flavors. I recommend this restaurant.

  • 5/5 S S. 2 years ago on Google
    Great food, friendly staff. Waiting is absolutely worth it. Seafood is fresh and super tasty, like a fusion between Mediterranean and Japanese cuisine. Reservation recommended.

  • 5/5 Vlad S. 2 years ago on Google
    Very pleasant experience, both atmosphere wise and food wise. The prices are not low, but decent considering the quality of the food (there are a lot of places in Nice where the food is low and prices are higher). We tried the dorada and seabass on the grill (with vegetables), the tuna tartare, the rump steak with mussels and a bottle of rose wine. The food was very tasty and fresh.

  • 4/5 Aar B. 2 years ago on Google
    Very popular place; food (especially the appetizers) was excellent. Service is very good and fast. English menus available.

  • 5/5 Gareth M. 2 years ago on Google
    Popped in here for lunch based on a recommendation and we weren’t disappointed. The food was excellent and the service equally so. Would highly recommend the tuna and scallop starters.
