    I loved this place! Firstly the waitress is super friendly and funny. The vibe is eclectic. The food is superb. The onion waffle for entree was delicious and both the mains hit the spot. Definitely come by and try this for yourself.

    After running away from the crowds, we came upon this great little place and we knew the wait would be worth it. They had some chairs for us and some cool drinks to keep us well hydrated while other clients were finishing up their meal. Great food and quick service. Mussels and fries seem to be their specialty although other items are on the menu and smelled spectacular when served up at the table next to us.

    Just as the name would suggest, the restaurant is serviced by a number of older people who were just lovely to us! The food itself was very tasty and I would definitely return to try other menu items. Specialises in clam based dishes, but has a variety of other meat dishes.

    Food is excellent and portions are HUGE. We shared the pissaladière with goat cheese for starters. Very good, and great portion to share, more than enough for 2 people. Then had the lamb daube, which was excellent. Very tasty, lamb was very tender. Again, enormous portion, probably enough to share for 2 persons. We also had the fish stew (marmite du pêcheur) which was also excellent and huge. The cuisine is veeeery rich. Good service, good location in the old Nice.

    Great find in the heart of Old Nice. Great tasting home cooked food. 2 ladies who run it are excellent ( and funny) hosts. Snails are a must……

    The restaurant is cozy and cute. It feels like you are at your home because of the home cooked foods :) the owners are so warm and friendly, they make you comfortable like at your grandparents home :D The taste of the food is amazing! Especially lasagna and chickpea tapas are so delicious! Thanks for everything it was an amazing experience and will suggest my friends :)

    I highly recommend this restaurant. Definitely one of the best restaurants. even if at first sight it may not impress at all but the food has a phenomenal taste. Every day the chef changes the menu and the food is always tasty and fresh. I ordered the beef for the copper and the chicken for the oven. the simple beef melted in your mouth. The dessert was something spectacular, I ordered cheese cake and tiramisu. Even if the restaurant does not have a position like the other restaurants in Old Town, but I can guarantee that it is much better than any of them.

    We had no French knowledge. This place is has the vibe of a grandma’s kitchen. The staff is super friendly, make you feel super comfortable. They made sure we have the best of French food in the grandma’s style. Super tasty affordable food located in the old town. Simply loved everything about this restaurant.

    Small, cute, and unassuming place with great food. The older person seating us was very rude and wouldn’t let us sit where we asked for while seating another couple at the same table a little later. However, the older lady serving us later was very nice and sweet. The food was absolutely delicious (probably the best I have had in south France over the past 20 days. I had the mussels with Provençal sauce and my wife hag the gnocchi with Provençal sauce. She only ate half of hers but I gladly finished both. Absolutely delicious sauce. The best red sauce I have had in a very very long time. Very inexpensive too. Only €27.5 for both dishes.

    Comfort food and good service. I felt like when I was little and used to leave my own grandma's place, --Stuffed of good food made with love--Had the snails as a starter and then the large tasting menu of small local dishes. Will be back when I have the chance! 💕

    The most charming, quirky restaurant in Nice. The owners and staff will ensure a smile never leaves your face the entire time you’re there. Better yet; on top of having a great time, be prepared to enjoy very generous portions of truly delicious food!

    We loved dining at Chez Mémère. Everything was perfect. Everyone who works at this restaurant has a positive attitude and are very friendly. The food was delicious. Thank you Marie and Mémère for having us at your restaurant. Claudette Debois

    Great place with lovely local tapas. As the name suggests there were two older women running the front-end, which gave you the idea of dining at your grandparents. The food was very good, and a lot, especially given the price of 15-19 euros for a platter I couldn't finish. Would definitely recommend.

    First night in Nice and wasn't sure what to have - so I chose everything! All delicious and very filling. The woman who runs the place is funny, always teasing and joking - I guess the negative reviews come from people who are easily offended and expect restaurant staff to bend over backwards like in the USA.

    Excellent home cooked food accompanied by charismatic staff who are very friendly. We ordered the duck and lamb for main, and shared the salmon starter and cheesecake dessert which is more than enough food. Place was very busy from 9pm and people started queuing outside. We managed to get the last free table at 8pm. Went back a few days later and had the duck again! It was even more delicious than I remembered. We had the Framboisier cake for dessert this time which was just as good as the Cheesecake! Despite what Google opening times said, they were open on a Tuesday!

    Of the many places I visited, I found unique places and foods that best satisfy the french folk taste. The meat is tender and the sauce is amazingly traditional. Makes me give the most stars for the most exotic taste, price and place. Create a never-before .... try it first. if I am given a chance here again. I will look for the mother "who made me miss. congratulations to who has given this reference. See you again....caoooo

    Fantastic authentic homemade food and entertaining friendly staff. We had onion waffle and escargot as appetizers, I liked the escargot (eaten with shells on!) even though I never like escargot. Then the best Coq au Vin for main meal. Extra special was the delicious sangria. We told everyone who stopped to look at the menu that it was amazing and they all sat down to enjoy it as well. Yummy:)
