    Easy, simple, fast, focused on core service this is Oysters fabric conveyor: affordable prices, fresh oysters and raw seafood, many seats. The best place to eat dozens of oysters. They have terrace, working in winter as well.

    Great for those who love cold seafood. Lobster and prawns were very fresh. Chips were nice too. This place doesn’t do any hot or grilled seafood. Only downside is too many flys all over you whilst you eat. Service wasn’t very personable and always seemed rushed. A nice location though.

    I think that the place is great to go with a number of people as their sharing seafood platters are fabulous. Otherwise, for a single person, what they recommend for "solo" is way too big and a bit pricey. Quality wise, cannot fault them. The service, at least when I went (which I gather is not an usual time for food in Nice - around 4, 5 PM :)) ) was meh. I guess they have such a huge crowd coming and going that they don't really care for customer service. I did not reserve, I just went there and I found a table, they seem to be open with no breaks.

    This place was recommended to us by our tour guide. He said it's a little pricey but the seafood is good. There were only English speakers in the restaurant, and service really was as french as they say in the reviews. The waiter threw a plate at a kid and it broke into pieces when it hit the floor. Hey but we got our order rather quickly given how full the restaurant was and how few waitstaff they had. The table next to us got ice cream in a chicken and they said theyve been coming here for years. Our seafood plate was wonderful the big whelks, tiny rose shrimps were good. The oyster were alright, shrimp tasted a little bleachy. But all in all very tasty. The fish soup was a good alternative to the boulabaise and it was so warm and filling on a cold day like today (13.5€). Fries (4.5€) were well portioned and actually very very good. Loved our lunch here. next time we will try a different seafood plate. We got the fine oysters no. 1 plate (41€) and was quite satisfied.

    This is a public service announcement: To all who are on the hunt for the freshest seafood in town, this is your oyster and a real gem in town. Seafood are served either cooked or raw on ice. They have some cooked dishes like the fish stew and pasta - Huge portions. Prices are not exactly cheap but it’s the quality you are paying for. We had the no.3 oysters, medium prawns, fish stew, pasta, fries, mussel pot cooked in pepper and salt. Service crew Mr Philip was quick and attentive. Our needs were 100% met at Cafe de Turin. Amazing time here!

    Le Café de Turin, located in Nice, is a true gem for seafood aficionados. The establishment exudes an authentic French ambiance, with its elegant decor complemented by the lively chatter of its patrons. One of its standout offerings is the seafood platter, a lavish spread of the freshest catches of the day including oysters, prawns, and mussels. Each bite promises a burst of the sea, reminding you of the restaurant's proximity to the Mediterranean coast. The attentive service and extensive wine list further elevate the dining experience. For those seeking a genuine taste of French maritime cuisine in the heart of Nice, Le Café de Turin should not be missed.

    A longstanding seafood restaurant that is still going strong. Prawns were very fresh and cooked to perfection. And service was terrific as well.

    Came to this seafood restaurant on a French friends recommendation. A good selection of seafood available - raw and cooked & served cold. We had a selection of amandes, sea snails, oysters and sea snails. For main course we ordered roasted dorado and grilled sardines. For dessert I had the rhum creme brulee with was delicious. We originally got sat in the back behind a pillar but we asked to move to the main terrace where we could people watch. Friendly service and good portion sizes.

    It’s good but I would not say top class sea food. The only thing we ordered is mixed seafood. It’s photoshopped slightly. The original one could be plainer than it. You can see the quality yourself, right? Besides the location is good near the square with good vision. Additionally it’s very big place with many tables outside the shop. More information send me msg~

    Casual seafood restaurant close to the Old Town in Nice. Great menu choices, friendly service and the atmosphere of a French cafe

  • 4/5 E H. 2 months ago on Google • 42 reviews New
    Overall nice food (the langoustines were a bit of a letdown, they had less meat than the shrimps), excellent service and atmosphere. Also, a tad on the expensive side (yes, I know it was seafood 😊). All in all, I'd go there again.

  • 5/5 Virtual K. 6 months ago on Google • 20 reviews

    (Translated by Google) Great. Obligatory stop to do in Nice, excellent raw and cooked dishes too. I ate specialties that I haven't tasted anywhere else. The place is very large and quite welcoming. The service is very fast. Prices are very high (Original) Ottimo. Tappa obbligatoria da fare a Nizza, ottimi i crudi e anche i cotti.

    Great place to enjoy oysters,shrimps and snails!) huge size,fresh and very meaty. Didn’t understand the point of small snails that couldn’t be reached though:) nice writers as well. Washrooms were all soaking wet,wasn’t very clean.

  • 5/5 Marcus N. 1 year ago on Google
    Le Café de Turin feels like an iconic restaurant and a staple for the town of Nice! If you love seafood of different types, this restaurant is for you. This restaurant has a large variety of fish and seafood, so I suggest you try something new 👍

  • 5/5 Chelsea H. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazingly fresh seafood. This spot came highly recommended by our Airbnb host for great seafood. We ordered a special #2 (oyster, medium shrimp, sea snails, etc.) and a salmon tartare and we're extremely happy. They were by far the freshest oyster and snails I've had. Restaurant is big and offered indoor&outdoor dining. Waiter brought out English menu after seeing us struggling to translate the menu to enghlish lol. Overall amazing seafood and would recommend.

  • 4/5 Kate 1 year ago on Google
    Very fresh and high quality seafood! I love their crab and oyster(special). I came here twice during my visit in Nice. First time it was Sunday lunch time and it wasn’t too busy so the staff was really helpful and friendly. But the second time was Saturday evening and the staff was too busy to serve, that’s why I gave it 4 stars. Overall it’s a nice seafood restaurant!

  • 4/5 EG C. 1 year ago on Google
    The seafood is good. The place is always busy, it seems extremely popular with tourist. I think their prices are high. The only good thing is in convenient location. You can take walk around seaside and harbour area after your meal.

  • 4/5 Vivien Le G. 1 year ago on Google
    Allegedly this place is an institution, and I can see why. Great location (get a table facing the square), simple, easy to understand food (fresh seafood, cooked and cooled or served fresh in the case of oysters). I had their soupe de Poisson. It was good. The medium size prawn was very fresh and went really well with fries.

  • 4/5 Robert A. 1 year ago on Google
    A loud and slightly hectic place where everyone seems to know each other, there are others items on the menu however there were oysters on virtually every table, so this is definitely for oyster lovers. A small but serviceable wine list and the cutest smallest wine glasses ever.

  • 5/5 V N. 1 year ago on Google
    My first meal in Nice was at Le Cafe de Turin. The large oyster, fish soup, and spaghetti with seafood. The meal was delicious. Our two servers were very nice. Our experience was fantastic. I came back again for some more oysters before leaving Nice. I’d recommend this place.

  • 5/5 F C. 5 months ago on Google • 12 reviews
    Was a bit dilemma before coming to this restaurant due to the extreme of good and bad comments. In fact a bit beyond expectation after coming. Food - Chilled seafood is good, not particularly impressive though (more a typical tourist choice). The big surprise is the chef's recommendations of the day. Sooooo delicious! We have ordered three and I would dare say each of them is comparable or even better than many fine dining seafood restaurant. Bravo to the cooking team! Service - Honestly I feel it is normal restaurant service and not bad. Waitors are not rude at all! Given the amount of customers in and out, one shouldn't expect that they give treat you with those fake polite greetings and smiles as in some other countries or less busy restaurants. I guess they won't have the patient to wait for someone who needs 15 mins (or more) to decide what they want to eat. The waitor serving us is good. I was thinking whether 100g of grey shrimps will be sufficient or not, he (without any facial expression) said that no need to order more, enough for us, and it later proved that he was right ! Atmostphere - the atmostphere is not the best as it is very busy and quite packed for a typical restaurant in France. Yet one should not complain too much as the food is really good and value for money.

    Amazing for sea food lovers, the server was amazing, has been working there for 30 years. The food was excellent, gotta try their "cafe gourmand", coffee with dessert samples, creme brulee was excellent and the mousse au chocolat, amazing 😍😍😍😍

  • 5/5 Loi M. 5 years ago on Google
    After scrolling through different reviews for seafood restaurants, we opted for this one and we weren't disappointed. On arrival, we were seated immediately. The waitress was extremely friendly and attentive. We were presented with an English menu which we found was hard to come by in the southern part of France. We decided on the tasting platter to start with a selection of oysters, and they were extremely fresh. The mains of gnocchi with salmon and fillet of fish wasn't disappointing either. We would highly recommend this gem if you're visiting Nice!

    We had lunch here! No regret coming here! Seafood platter was heavenly! The oysters and prawns (it is big and full of sweetness) was so good. Urchins was abit letdown though. The wine tastes great! Loves the bread and butter as well. We sat outdoor, the weather was great! Thank you! IG: @_bluebulb

    The place is larger than you think. And very busy. But that doesn't stop the waiter from being attentive and super quick. Great food. Definitely try the king crab arms and salmon roe spread.

  • 2/5 Leona L. 5 years ago on Google
    Food is okay . 5.5-6/10 , seafood are fresh but many of them are not clean probably, still have shell on it. Price is okay. Service could be better, sometimes they ignore you or they don’t wait you finish your sentence and walk away. And when I pay they don’t give the small coins back, feels like they assume you must give them tips
