    Visited Nice for a couple of weeks and was recommended to eat here by a family member. What a gem! I am looking forward to eating here at least twice more before I leave. The food is the best I’ve had in my entire life and the service is amazing. Everything we ate was so fresh and perfectly made. From appetizers (entree) to dessert. Nothing was disappointing. All amazing.

    Pretty good. Octopus salad was excellent, best octopus I’ve had. The fish dishes felt fresh. The fish soup was not so good, it was ok. The crème brûlée was also ok, not as good as other places, a bit plain. Overall, pretty good. Nice views of the harbor.

    Hands down the best meal we had in two weeks in Nice! Beautiful creations by Chef Orsini and friendly personal service. We are foodies and carefully research each and every restaurant, this was the highlight with beautifully prepared dishes, the menu leans towards seafood but also has other choices. We stuck with seafood and fish. Stunning delicious fresh and bursting in flavor! The team clearly loves what they do, chef tended to my kids and us with a smile and jokes, and we were treated like the most special guests both time we visited, Once for dinner and once for lunch the next day. The view from the restaurant is also spectacular… Cannot wait to be back, thank you Chef Orsini and the team!

    Excellent seafood, staff is very friendly and welcoming, and the chef is extremely passionate about his dishes. He came out to ask about how we want our food, how it was and asked where we were from, etc. Really great dining experience with a beautiful view!

    Food was ok, the portions were small. Couldn’t see any fish in the fish soup. Also kinda of expensive for what it is.

  • 4/5 Garrett D. 2 years ago on Google
    Great location by the harbor and had excellent seafood from the seabreem to the scallops. Service seemed a bit overwhelmed and thus felt quite slow at times, but otherwise wonderful experience.

  • 5/5 Rami Y. 1 year ago on Google
    Hands down, this restaurant is absolutely incredible in every way. The atmosphere, the service and the incredible dishes will impress anyone looking for a top of the line sea food and fish restaurant! The chef is also very knowledgeable and friendly!

    This was our best meal so far in our 2 weeks vacation in France. It’s not cheap (about 30+€ for a main course and about 16€ for an appetizer) but it was totally worth it. Their smoked salmon was the best smoked salmon I’ve ever had, made in-house by the chef, with a warm smoky flavor but not over salted. It came with leeks that were deliciously prepared. My husband and I shared the appetizer and they served it already shared. We definitely wanted more afterwards! I got the French scallops, which were extremely fresh, sweet and juicy, and my husband got the best bouillabaise he has ever had, which came with crunchy bread slices, a garlic sauce and cheese which you’re supposed to assemble and put into your bouillabaise soup. This is a gem that I’d highly recommend!

    Absolutely excellent food! I recommend a cheeseburger (one of the best I've had). We went here a few times and just about anything is great.

  • 5/5 Jean H. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolute gem of a restaurant that seems to be in a tourist-y location, but truly had some of the best seafood I've ever eaten. This is a can't-miss spot in Nice!

  • 5/5 Guillaume V. 1 year ago on Google
    Brought a party of 9 here for dinner and was thoroughly impressed! Very accommodating staff and the dishes are simply wonderful. Fine dining plates with an authentic Nice touch.

    I've been walking past this place for a year, after two recommendations I booked. Wow, I was missing out - one of the best restaurants in Nice. Super atmosphere and the staff really want you to enjoy.

    One of my favourite address on the riviera for years, their lunch formula is the best money can buy and if you order "à la carte" you can get the best fish available. A classic with view on the old port. Friendly couple have been running this place for years. Sometime they surprise you with mushrooms, truffles and seasonnal specialties. The employee are all friendly and highly professionnal. Everything you eat there is homemade. Make reservation, often full.

    They have an outdoor seating facing the Port. Food was amazing. It's a small restaurant so I would advice that you make reservations in advance. It's a family owned restaurant and you can really tell from the authentic taste of the food. Ps the mini burrata pizza has a spread of burrata. I would recommend payi g extra and ask them to put the burrata on top.

    Was walking around the port looking for somewhere nice and low key, and Google reviews led us here. Wonderful, attentive service and delicious local dishes. The mushrooms with sweetbreads was our favorite. The chef/owner chatted with us for a long time as well. Cheers to small places with an intimate vibe like this - much less touristy than the main plage area with a great port view.

    Amazing restaurant. One if not the best seafood restaurant of Nice ! The staff is extremely welcoming, kind and knowledgeble. Don't hesitate and go !

    Fantastic meal, absolutely delicious! We were worried we wouldn’t get a table as we hadn’t booked but the staff were incredibly accommodating. We shared the prawns & anchovies to start and for main, I had red mullet and my partner the veal and it was all exceptional. The service was second to none and it was a fantastic touch that the head chef came to speak to every guest. Will definitely revisit when we return to Nice!

    The restaurant was not busy. We opted to sit inside, having been given the choice by the waiter. As the dining room was totally empty, we asked to sit at a round table laid for 4 by the window. This request was refused and so my 6'6" son and I were directed to a small table for 2, one with view of the port and the other with view of the toilet door. When I pulled over an extra chair for my coat, hat and handbag, the waiter placed a wine bucket stand beside us and told me to put it all in/on that. At this point, I was ready to get up and walk out, but, as it was getting late and we were hungry, I swallowed my irritation. We ordered two courses each. Our request to either order desert after our main course or, if we did order it in advance, and didn't have the room to consume it, whether we could take a warm chocolate cake home, was denied. The Chef/owner was polite and very friendly. The menu was pricey and the food was acceptable; but after the behaviour of the wait-staff, we would be reluctant to go there again.
