    We came here our first night in Nice with my uncle who loves this place. It is fairly small but food is truly amazing, homemade, prepared with regional products. It is located in the old Nice. Service was really good. Reservation is highly recommended, several days in advance in summer or week end.

    An absolute marvel of a meal. Get there early because the restaurant fills quick. The food is so full of flavour and heart and would go back in a heartbeat. The service is attentive. The atmosphere, well, French!

    Eating while traveling can be a bit of a challenge for me as I have some food allergies & I'm vegan. I created a card (pic included) that I shared at every eating establishment we visited while on our recent trip to Paris & Nice, FR. & it proved to come in very handy. There was only one restaurant that said they couldn't accommodate me & I appreciated their candor & honesty. That however was not the case with Chef Antoine Crespo at Bistrot d'Antoine. I shared my card with him (before we considered going) and he said, "Of course. Make a reservation & we will prepare something to your liking." Well, "liking" doesn't even come close. How about "LOVING?!" For an appetizer, I was "gifted" with the most amazing Poireaux (Leeks) that I've ever had - literally it was if they had passed through some magical dimension & had been transformed into silk. And for my main dish I was served a platter of stunningly beautiful, vibrant & fresh vegetables atop the most velvety mashed potatoes I've ever encountered. I'm not sure what he did, but I'm pretty sure it was heaven on a plate. Even my friends were envious of my dish (which btw, all of their dishes were equally spectacular as per their opinions,) which included: the same appetizer I had, the Poireaux (Leeks,) Lentilles Saucisse (Sausage & Lentils,) Cocotte De Cochon (Pig Cheek Casserole - and yes, that was hard for me to "stomach,") Filet de Truite (Trout Filet.) For dessert (which I didn't partake in,) the table shared Tiramisu, Fruits de Saison (Seasonal Fruits) & Chocolat Mousse (reviews on the desserts were difficult to understand because at this point everyone was too busy putting themselves into food comas. But finally I understood them to be très magnifique!) Due to their limited outdoor space they have an adorable 2nd floor of the restaurant w/big windows looking out over the quaint Nice street & that's where we sat. There were only 3-4 tables in this area & because we were a party of 6 we took up a couple of those tables, but 2 additional parties were seated up there after a while ~ it was very cozy. The service was spot on & as if all this wasn't enough, the Chef even served our dishes to us (& I noticed he served the other tables, so I wonder if he serves everyone?!?) What a classy touch to an already upscale experience & when we realized it was the Chef serving, we broke into spontaneous applause which was well deserved. When we were leaving & descending the stairs, the entire staff was standing there (almost like a receiving line) & it provided us with the chance to applaud (again) & thank everyone. Definitely one of the best gastronomic encounters I have ever had. Note - if you want to visit Bistrot d'Antoine, I can't express enough the importance of making a reservation in order to get in. Safe travels & wishing everyone spectacular food/drink adventures.

    This was the BEST meal of our two and a half weeks long trip. You won’t be able to walk in so make sure you secure reservation so you won’t be disappointed! Everything was cooked to perfection

    This is the perfect place to introduce French cuisine to your friends and family! Been here twice and very satisfied with the food quality. Early reservation (at least a week ahead during summer time, to be specific) is necessary to get a seat here. I saw so many people being turned down because they are fully booked while sitting here. Well-deserved the Michelin Bib Gourmand recognition! Though I must say they are not “affordable” if you’re looking for such meal. Average price: 30€-40€ per person

    Good food overall and nice service. Too bad I found some aluminum foil when I was almost done with my tartare. That put a shadow on the overall experience. I mentioned it when they were cleaning the plates and I almost got scolded I didn't ask for a new tartare earlier. I was more than half way through like...I just didn't want a new one and the experience was already teinted...🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

    Excellent authentic French fare at very reasonable prices. Totally enjoyed the meal, and would have loved to come back to eat again, if my schedule permitted. Came before the restaurant opened for lunch and was able to secure a table. Good and brisk service, staff able to communicate in English. Everything ordered was delicious!

    Solid 4.5. there's outdoors seating and indoor seating as well as upstairs seating. The staff was very helpful and the English menu (though touristy). We got the pork cheeks with palenta and the scallops. The pork cheeks was good but a little porky, but it was well seasoned and tender. The palenta is also very good. The extra side of veggies was very well worth it and so beautifully presented. The scallops I guess was not the biggest hit. The portions are french instead of Italian. Feels very authentically French.

    What a wonderful dinner in this small but great bistrot in nice ! We did enjoy several fantastic dishes, like Lean Fish Gravlax, Tuna, Asparagus, Beef Tartare and citron dessert. Team is very friendly and supportive in any matter - even our little knowledge of french wasn’t any problem. Looking forward for our next experience in this bistrot!

    Nice traditional French bistro. The food was delicious. Can highly recommend the turbot. Staff are efficient but not as friendly as in other restaurants I’ve been to over the past few days. Therefore I found the atmosphere wasn’t as nice as the welcome was not very warm. To sum up, excellent food, but I just didn’t enjoy my experience there as much as I did elsewhere.

    Hands down the best experience in France in a long long time. French traditional fare with a culinary twist. Superb, attentive and effective service. The turbot filet was just plain fantastic.

    Fantastic quality and efficient service. Best pate and Tiramisu I’ve ever had. Extremely good value. It’s the kind of place where you want to try everything on the menu. Will definitely go back. Make reservations.

    My friend Rachel brought me to this 'must try' spot in Nice. Blown away, absolutely superb. The service was fantastic, warm and knowledgeable. Highly recommend.

    This was the best dining experience we had in Nice. The complimentary sardine entree was a tasty treat. For an entree we shared the zucchini flowers which were fresh and fragrant/zesty. For mains we ordered the sausage lentil soup and meat/veges of the day (beef and veges) which were both sublime. The energetic ambiance of the restaurant added to the excellent experience. Would strongly recommend!

  • 5/5 Nelly 3 years ago on Google
    A popular, authentic and great restaurant in Nice old town. Perfectly located. Service is quick, efficient and nice. Many options and specialities from the region. Both meat and fish dishes were tasty! Only the chocolate dessert was too much and lacked some fresh flavors. Would recommend and return!

  • 5/5 Dilip H. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing food! Very friendly and quick service. Right in the heart of old Town Nice. Must try - Boudin Noir and the cocotte cochon.

  • 5/5 Guy S. 10 months ago on Google
    Absolutely fabulous! Busy, a little noisy but as a pleasant contribution to atmosphere. Great menu: hard to choose especially when you see great plates coming out of the busy kitchen. All staff were friendly, helpful and very efficient. The cod was sublime. So tender. We were full but couldn't resist the deserts...

  • 5/5 Carina G. 2 years ago on Google
    Very lovely place and very authentic. The food is amazing and so is the service. Definitely one of the better places to eat if you are visiting Nice.

  • 5/5 Mary K. 1 year ago on Google
    Great french food...started with a smoked duck salad and then green lentil with sausage Both were great. Also had kidneys which were great also. Dessert of poached pear with chocolate was delicious.

  • 4/5 Zara K. 3 years ago on Google
    The service was fantastic! Other than that, the leek salad was phenomenal. It was just too damn good. I’ve never had anything like it. It was juicy, crunchy and sublime! I highly recommend it! The trout was beautifully cooked. It was fresh, simple and juicy. but I didn’t like the combination of the sweet chocolate crumble with the fish. It was too damn weird. A bit under seasoned as well. The dessert, the chocolate crumble was underwhelming and totally ruined my experience. I don’t suggest it at all. It was too basic and too sweet. The carrot salad was fantastic and colorful but the plate that stole the show was the leek salad. That’s something you lose sleep over. Over all, a great experience!

    Very easy 5 stars to give. The food here is truly excellent, with a wide range of options to suit different tastes. If you don’t have a booking, make sure to get there as it opens to avoid disappointment.

  • 5/5 Sarah D. 1 year ago on Google
    Delightful little bistrot in Nice. I was taken here for dinner a few years ago by local business contacts and happily sought it out again as a tourist. It didn't disappoint! The menu is limited as befits an establishment that focuses on local and seasonal. I am a vegetarian who doesn't normally eat fish, but I made an exception for this visit as there weren't any vegetarian options (which is the only criticism). It was exceptionally good. Creative presentation and high-end culinary touches make this unassuming little place a definite go-to if you're in Nice.
