    If you speak French this is probably an OK place to visit. If you only speak English, expect service with disdain and a feeling that you, the customer are an interpretation to their work instead of the purpose of it. S-l-o-w service would be charitable as it was practically no service as we had to ask for everything more than once. Drink order was taken and it was 22 minutes from when I began timing, which was probably 7-10 minutes into the wait. Drink order was wrong: Asked for Absolute vodka on the rocks with lemon wedge. Received vodka neat. Took another 6 minutes to get it back. We ordered dinner at the same time: Sharing a Caprese salad and onion soup to start, and the crustacean platter (See pic) as a shared entrè. And the platter was brought out before we ever got our soup and salad, which are under their 'starters' menu. No plates or crab crackers or picks/cocktail forks were offered with the massive platter, just a "Bon appetite" and departure faster than we could ask for plates. Now here's the reason I said you need to speak French: I had seen a blue bottle of tap water delivered to the round table adjacent to us. We asked for some water for the table. No questions were asked what type of water and the server came back more quickly than at any other time with a large bottle of Evian (still) water. He plopped it on our table and faster than anything else that happened in this entire experience, his bottle opener had removed the cap. He didn't pour any of the water and I assume this was to avoid lingering and catching my protest (if they can get away with it, they 'sell' you a bottle of water for 5 to 8 Euros). I got it removed from the bill. Lastly, we weren't offered a basket of bread like the French speaking guests at the nearby tables and you'll see the blue water bottles on the tables around us. On my way to the water closet, I observed several tables of guests devouring large amounts of food and toasting one another in the country's language. So in conclusion, my advice is to avoid this place if you don't speak French. Food was also pretty pedestrian too. More about presentation than quality of taste.

    Be careful with choosing this restaurant while your staying in Nice! The owner is very rude! They take for ever to take your order and I simply witnessed him telling a customer to leave the restaurant is she didn’t like her wine that she ordered. Place seems to be busy but is a tourist TRAP. I ended drinking my wine and not staying for dinner and choosing another restaurant.

    Five stars great food great drinks…..is what I wish I could say. This restaurant is cute and situated with a view of the water, which were the only positive things about our experience. If you do not speak French - beware, it became apparent that those who spoke English received a much different standard of service. Upon arriving we were greeted with fake roses and led to our table, where we placed our drink order. My friend ordered a mojito which was mostly just soda water poured on top of an entire garden of mint leaves and lawn clippings. Other tables around us had bottles of water and baskets of bread - confused as to why we had no bread we asked for some, and received a plate of thin slices of what appeared to be brown pumpernickel bread with tubes of butter, while everyone else around us had baskets of white baguettes. While we were enjoying our drinks and “bread” we had the pleasure of watching our waiter flirt with the other waitresses while he could’ve been clearing our plates. We were also charged for a simple glass bottle of still water - when we requested water the waiter hadn’t even bothered to ask what kind. Our meals were mediocre at best - the lobster “risotto” was indeed not risotto, just rice mixed with sauce and brown peas that might as well have come out of a box, and probably did. The gnocchi was sub-par and needed seasoning, which we achieved by taking the salt and pepper shakers that seemed to be on everyone else’s table except our own. All in all, we came to this place looking forward to a nice meal but left feeling disappointed and discriminated against as English speakers. Our experience was anything but NICE.

    bad tasting food, bad service, overpriced. trying to get someone attention for 30 mins to get a bottle of water. from menu we tried: foie gras(pretty much like regular pate), seafood linguini(sent it back because of horrible taste) and duck breast, was all bad. do yourself a favor and walk 15 mins to old Town for good dining experience

    Unfortunately we didn’t have a good experience. We really wanted to have a nice and pleasant dinner but the server was very rude. Right from the beginning he didn’t seems to be in a good mood. After giving us our drinks and appetizer we never heard from him again until about 45 minutes later when we asked about our order. He was very dismissive and had an attitude. My wife was finally given her salad and mine was served 10 minutes later by another server who noticed I didn’t have anything. For the prices they are asking…you can do better. Much better.

    If you like seafood, you'll be in heaven. It's very pricey but it's worth every penny. I had the salmon tartar for entrance and lobster as main dish. The ambiente is very nice and you get a good view on the Promenade des Anglais. If you like wine I would suggest to try their house-wine, it's pretty good and you won't get it in your country. Definitely recommend!

    Not-so-clean tablecloths, service very casual. Food was quite good, especially lobster which was tender.

  • 2/5 Anoushka B. 1 year ago on Google
    Good presentation of food- however, a very big letdown because the taste of the food was awful. Risotto was too lemony, salmon pasta had no taste. Prices don’t match the quality of the food. Service was too slow, and we were told places were ‘reserved’ even though the restaurant wasn’t full indoors. This is usual behaviour for restaurants that attract holidaymakers, but still leaves a distaste.

    Restaurant with excellent view of the beach. The food is exceptional, a nice mix of different flavors. They use a lot of mango sauce, no complaint here since I love mango. The seafood is of good quality. The waiters are very professional and friendly.

    Lovely place on the Promenade des Anglais. Don’t be misled by lack of customer service, the food is actually good 🦐🍽🇫🇷

    Prepare your stomach for an amazing culinary journey. The food is absolutely impeccable in every way imaginable. The service is superb and the locally sourced wine is delicious. The atmosphere is very laid back, so prepare for a long dinner service, sit back and enjoy the promenade. Highly recommended.

    I would love to give this place a great review. The waitress was great, the maitre de was good, the view was great! But the very expensive food was not. I had to argue with the steak to get it to cut at all, ended up leaving half of it on the plate as fat and gristle. Seriously. Not a great meal, and frankly not even a good meal. So sad.

    We have taken the menu option. Which included 1 choice out of 3 starter/main/dessert. Our dinner was accompanied by nice selection of music and cosy restaurant atmosphere. The only thing I would suggest to dim the lights to keep it more intimate experience. Good service and food 👍

  • 1/5 Adeola A. 1 year ago on Google
    Worst place we have been in the whole of Nice, the food was rubbish, the service was appalling I ordered my food and the waiter waited 45 minutes after ordering when I was already eating my starter before telling me that my mains was finished. No word or apology from the manager or anyone of authority and you could sense that they just don't care. The only good thing about the night was the musician, will definitely not be going back.

  • 5/5 Sarina H. 2 years ago on Google
    Very underrated restaurant. Dined in on a Wednesday night. the food was tasty and good quality. We had the fish fillet with risotto, and the fish was cooked perfectly. Our waiter was friendly and attentive despite being the only server and host. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Thomas K. 5 years ago on Google
    Amazing place. This was the best steak I had in Nice. The waiter / owner was very nice and helped us through the menu and made recommendations! The chocolate fondant was fantastic, I believe it was the one of the best I've ever had! Girlfriend liked both her dishes carbonara and Tiramasu, but nothing to write home about. Still 5 stars from me and highly recommended!

    We used to come to Koudou since 2014 & we recommended it to many friends, the location of it is beautiful on the beach, but befor 3 days strange thing happened with us that the table near us was annoying, laughing loudly, knocking on the table and going too far. The restaurant management or the waiter did not ask them to be calm and polite, which forced me to go to the lady in theeshop and asked her to intervene and she did not interfere seriously, so we in turn left the restaurant, the food that day was bad and the rice had a lot of oil and they forgot our order for fried calamari

    I took oysters here and felt intoxicated the following night. My next day was ruined by sickness. The food was good by taste, however, probably the quality is not sufficient

  • 5/5 Arash G. 2 years ago on Google
    There were 6 of us that they managed well . Despite the fact that they forgot my order, they insured that I had a pleasant experience. Will definitely come back.

  • 5/5 Matteo F. 2 years ago on Google
    The place itself is pleasurable. The staff is really nice and welcoming. Food: another planet. I believe the best raw fish I ever had. Not to talk about their rice with ink. Just amazed at the splendid dinner I had
