    The food was delicious! We ve tried escargot for the first time and the taste was just perfect! The size of the dishes was very generous which was a big plus. Prices are decent for how big and how tasty the food is! They have a menu for 28 euro with aprritivo, main dish and dessert which is a very good price. I recommend this place and I will totally come back

    Absolutely amazing! Me and my girlfriend we got the three cars prefix. The sellers were inventive and delicious. The tuna was fresh and well appointed. And… The tiramisu and the fancy French dessert was to die for.😍🇫🇷

    (Translated by Google) Restaurant found through LaFourchette and TripAdvisor with great ratings. Super good, worked and qualitative dishes. Many choices in the menu at 25 €! Very nice servers Lots of people tonight, which says a lot about the good food there is! (Attention, the terrace is also free for vehicles in both directions, so possibility of being disturbed by noise) (Original) Restaurant trouvé grâce à LaFourchette et TripAdvisor avec de superbes notes. Plats super bons, travaillés et qualitatifs. Beaucoup de choix dans le menu à 25€ ! Serveurs très agréables Beaucoup de monde ce soir, ce qui en dit long sur la bonne cuisine qu'il y a ! (Attention, la terrasse est aussi libre pour les véhicules dans les deux sens, donc possibilité d'être gêné par le bruit)

    The food is amazing, everything’s fresh and the menu is so satisfying. However, the service was a little slow but I think it was because of the hour and also beacuse it was a sunday. Anyways, it’s a very good place! 100% recommended!

    We love l’Instant. There is a 3-course menu for dinner, and you have way too much very good food. Staff is very pleasant too.

  • 5/5 Richardjo L. 6 months ago on Google • 31 reviews
    In 2 weeks of travel to the Rugby World Cup in Marseille and Nice, this was the best meal I had, including a disappointing Michelin Sta restaurant in Marseille. The set priced 3 course lunch was superb; moules to begin, crispy chicken for main, and profiterole for desert, all washed down with some lovely house white and red wine. Our party of 10 people were greeted with cheerful staff who remained attentive but not intrusive throughout the meal. We sat down at 1.15pm and finished at 4pm. A memorable meal. L'Instant is highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Leonard C. 6 months ago on Google • 20 reviews
    Had an absolutely excellent 3 course meal here. The tuna dish was to die for. At the end of the meal all our party were offered a free Lemoncello.

  • 3/5 Milan M. 4 months ago on Google • 13 reviews
    Small but not cozy. Lots of lights for restaurant. They are pushing lunch combo for 28€ which gives me cheap vibes. Overall it is ok if you are looking for cheap bite (cheap compared to rest of Nice)

  • 5/5 Vivian S. 1 year ago on Google
    We had the plat du jour selection for fish and beef and everything was very yummy. The dorado was pan seared and the side garnishes were very flavorful as well. My husband also liked his beef. The highlight was the salted caramel praline cream puff desert which was decadent but not too rich. Arrive early to get a seat because this place fills up with locals every day!

  • 5/5 LUDOVIC L. 3 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Alice 2 years ago on Google
    Fantastic presentation and tasty food. Minus one star because the drinks weren’t very good...my aperol spritz tasted more like campari, very bitter. My partner’s berry spritz was champagne with frozen raspberries so pretty tasteless. Be aware there are no English menus so better have google translate on hand or speak French😬

  • 5/5 MsLieniitexs 2 years ago on Google
    Came here already twice , no disappointment … Friendly stuff even menu is French , they speak English . Food is well served

  • 5/5 Andrew J. 1 year ago on Google
    Would give more stars if I could. We came to Nice for a couple days from Chicago on our honeymoon and are so glad we chose to dine here. The staff was friendly and helpful, the food was fantastic and beautifully presented, and the atmosphere made for a perfect evening. Don’t be in a rush, and would definitely recommend the appetizer/salad, main course, and desert for a fixed price.

  • 5/5 Noémi K. 11 months ago on Google
    The best restaurant in Nice! I highly recommend if you would like to try French food in a great place. Excellent quality with reasonable price. I would go back.

  • 5/5 Ash V. 11 months ago on Google
    Delicious place with good customer service. Also they were happy to take a big party for dinner last minute. Definitely a hidden gem

  • 3/5 Sacha S. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Impeccable welcome and service with a young, dynamic and professional team, tasty dishes including the famous grilled octopus ... the only downside of this neighborhood restaurant actually comes down to its prices: offer a menu in the evening with prices close to the menu. the price of the gastro menu (25 €) logically invites us to focus on the menu when we could and should have the possibility for the evening to eat in smaller quantities and for less ... When renewing the card, it would be fair to adapt to the times with less in quantity and more affordable. (Original) Accueil et service impeccables avec une équipe jeune, dynamique et pro, plats goûteux dont le célèbre poulpe grillé...le seul bémol de ce restaurant de quartier se résume en fait à ses tarifs : proposer une carte le soir avec des prix de plats frôlant le prix du menu gastro ( 25€) nous invite logiquement à s orienter vers le menu alors qu on pourrait et devrait avoir la possibilité pour le soir de manger en moins grande quantité et pour moins cher... Ce serait juste au renouvellement de la carte se calquer sur l air du temps avec moins en quantité et plus abordable.

  • 5/5 JIWON J. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The dinner menu is of excellent quality, from €25 to the main dessert. The amount also came out very much, so I ate it full. The location is off the main Massena Square, but it's okay enough to deliberately take some time to eat. I recommend! (Original) 저녁 정찬메뉴 25유로에 전식 메인 디저트까지 전부 훌륭한 퀄리티입니다. 양도 굉장히 많이 나와서 배부르게 먹었네요. 위치가 메인 마세나 광장에서 떨어져 있는 곳이지만 일부러 시간 들여서 먹으러 와도 될만큼 괜찮습니다. 추천해요!

  • 5/5 A J. 3 years ago on Google
    Really good value! The food is plated well which makes it seem fancy, though the atmosphere is casual. The 25 euro three course meal is the way to go. I was impressed with the teriyaki duck main. I wondered if the sauce was meant to mask a poorly cooked duck breast but even without the sauce it was delicious. The baked potato was out of place though

  • 5/5 Patrick M. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Impeccable welcome, service without waiting without being too fast. The restaurant offers a full menu at 25 euros with a choice of several dishes. You also have the possibility of choosing your dishes à la carte. We had a great time, very good cuisine, freshness and flavors are waiting for you. Restaurant to try without a doubt. PS the best if to return remains the tram, you have a very close stop: Liberation. (Original) Accueil impeccable , service sans attente sans être trop rapide .Le restaurant propose un menu complet à 25 euros avec un choix de plusieurs plats. Vous avez aussi la possibilité de choisir vos plats à la carte. Nous nous sommes régalé , très bonne cuisine , fraîcheur et saveurs sont au rendez-vous. Restaurant à essayer sans aucun doute. PS le mieux pour si rendre reste le tramway, vous avez un arrêt très proche : Libération.

    Bravo - Genuinely among the best food in Southern France, especially considering the more-than-generous pricing for their combination menu. The Black Truffle Veloute starter is exceptional and is a must-try. 10/10 service from Terry and the others!

    We had dinner at L'Instant and it's the wisest decision we made! It's definitely the best meal we had in this trip, and it's much worthy than what it costs. The waiter speaking fluent English is very polite and gentle. It's pity that we weren't starving so just ordered 3 dishes. All tastes really really great! The sauce of the snails is amazing. The risotto truffle is the best one I've ever had. The tuna tartar is good too so we ate all the side dishes. Not even a pea left. I'd recommend all of you to have a meal here, and I'll absolutely go again if I visit Nice!

    Booked a table for our anniversary dinner and I must say it was THE best food we had during our stay in Nice. Absolutely loved all the unique flavours and the generous serving size - loved them over all the big restaurants in Old Nice. Great atmosphere and welcoming staff. They were very patient with us as we took a little longer to choose our menu as we didn't understand French. 28 euros for a three course meal got us full and happy on our anniversary! Thank you so much!
