😐 It was okay, but nothing more. The price is for the quality and the ambient too high. The food is actually quite good, but the service, table, decoration, music is more like a cheap wine bar. Also it was really cold in the restaurant because we were seatted right next to the door. First the waitress...

    It was okay, but nothing more. The price is for the quality and the ambient too high. The food is actually quite good, but the service, table, decoration, music is more like a cheap wine bar. Also it was really cold in the restaurant because we were seatted right next to the door. First the waitress/sommelier told us that she would open any bottle for us and we can just have a glas, but in the end we were forced to pay for the whole bottle eventhough we didn‘t want more than one glas. It‘s not a problem for me, but if you first say we can have every wine by the glas but end up paying for the whole bottle, this is dissapointing.in the end the waitress tried to make us pay 200.- more than we actually consumed. After coming back there was still an error of 100.- bucks and we had to complain again. So overall a dissapointing experience for a dinner so expensive. Want go there again

    I had dinner there 1 day ago and was shocked to find out that they do not have a Michelin star it was back on 2020 they received it. NOT 2023! Also the pictures of their place is not the same location and the food is average with a heavy price. Better places to go ( like JAN) that are Michelin star certified,this place is not worth the money. Do not recommend they don’t even have the proper bar and wine list.

    Yet another fantastic visit on Pure & V. Extremely well executed dining experience. Well prepared, very tasty dishes with a solid red thread throughout the meal. Add to that a wine pairing which takes you through a series of fantastic natural wines that go very well with the food.

    Food was excellent but wines were totally overpriced (in june -23). This food deserves real classical wines, not some natural wines which are not up to the food. The quality of wines was low (sorry). Also the amount of wine wasn't right. In the wine package I understand there are many wines and we don't need much each quality. But if we pay 22 € for a glass of shampagne, it should be at least close to 12 cl. Service: the kitchen staff did really good job explaining every single plate but the waitresses were only ok - not to the level of the restaurant. As I said - Food was excellent.

    Amazing little restaurant that serves fish! I had an amazing experience here! The food and service were both excellent! Everything was made from fresh ingredients sourced locally. When the main course was served, I thought the lemon look odd since where I am from the skin of the lemon is shiny. This one was dull looking but by far the best lemon I had in my life! It was lemon from Menton, a town near Nice. I ordered a 5 course meal and it costed €60, I think it’s totally worth it for fresh ingredients and dishes crafted with love. If you are in Nice for vacation or if you live here, I highly recommend you check out the restaurant! It is such an amazing place and cozy interior!

    We visited for dinner, amazing plates, so tasty and well presented. If you are in Nice and you are looking for fine dinning, this place is the choice. The owner, staff and chefs are explaining everything in detail. Professionalism and perfection, thank you very much for the amazing dinner, when will be in Nice again we will come back for sure. Michelin star is well deserved!

    Pinja Pääkönen keeps it simple and delightful, and then the flavours suprise you and evolve. All dishes was a delight and the sommelière came up with good choices of wines. Other restaurants with a star or two often get lost in being to creative. One of our best restaurant experiences.

    Intimate and elegant restaurant, wine pairings were excellent (particularly the rosés, orange wine and champagne) and the sommelier was terrific at explaining the wines to us. Dishes were creative and surprising, particularly loved the brown butter and the desserts.

    Dining at Pure & Vin was simply one of the best dining experiences I have ever had. The creativity behind every item on the menu was stunning and inspiring. I found myself just smiling with each course. The chef, owner, and staff are also some of the kindest people you could hope to meet. Merci pour cette expérience et ce merveilleux souvenir que je chérirai toujours.

    I loved my recent visit to this restaurant! The changing menu with seasonal ingredients ensures fresh and high-quality food. The service is top-notch, creating a refined and seamless dining experience. The calm atmosphere and convenient location add to the charm. The staff's passion and professionalism shine through, making every visit memorable. Just a heads up: If you have allergies, it's best to check with the restaurant beforehand, although they are great at accommodating dietary needs. Also, the wine pairing is a bit pricey. Overall, it's a fantastic spot for excellent food and a great dining experience.

    Our experience at Pure + V was fantastic. From the time we stepped in the door they made us feel welcomed and special. The food was creative, fresh and delicious and the wine pairings could not have complimented the dishes better. The service was on point and every detail noticed. It was an experience we will remember for a long time to come!

    Very happy with this experience. This place serves an incredible menu with novel dishes and combinations of flavors. So many lovely courses. The wine pairings matched the dishes as promised. Luxurious dining, would give more stars if I could.

    Amazing service and food, slightly pricey but worth the try.

  • 4/5 Meri T. 1 year ago on Google
    Pure & V was indeed an experience. Food was delicious and exciting and the wine pairing was on point. Our special diet request was well accomplished. The mains were a bit on the salty-side, but the menu was all in all harmonised. All dishes were appealing to the eye as well as out mouths. Especially the desserts were truly amazing. The downside of the experience was the athmosphere in the restaurant. We found it really quiet there and thus felt uncomfortable to have a conversation at first. Most notably, we were quite upset by a conflict between the owner and the customers next to us. All were shockingly rude to each other, which did ruin our vibe for the rest of the evening. Regardless, the staff was super polite and friendly to us and we even got service in our native language from the chef.

    This place is outstanding! Perfect food and wine list! The owners (chef and his wife sommelier) are super friendly and nice! Amazing place, great evening. Thank you!

    We were excited to visit this restaurant but unfortunately it did not live up to our expectations. There was no explanation of the concept of the restaurant and the sommelier made some rather inappropriate jokes that we did not appreciate (I.e not accepting guest that arrives with 5 minutes delay). During the day I received a message saying that our table was ready at 20, however our initial reservation was for 21. This was somewhat confusing to me. We asked via text message if we wouldn’t have time to finish the dishes if we arrived at 21h but the restaurant didn’t reply. We ordered champagne as predrink and due to a “misunderstanding” we were never offered the wine pairings, which we all wanted. A shame. According to the staff this was a misunderstanding, however I must say that a misunderstanding on a restaurant this level is just not acceptable. Service is a large part of the experience and a responsibility of the restaurant. Having visited many Michelin restaurant I feel like Pure et V is not as refined and sophisticated as previous experiences at similar establishments. We arrived all quite excited to hear more about the wine from supposedly one of the best sommeliers in France however the service was throughout the dinner very confusing and we had to ask the staff to repeat several times as we didn’t understand what they were saying/unclear communication. Even when one of us clarified in French, we still were left with an impression of not really knowing what the next dish would be/the choices to make in terms of the menu. Disappointing. The dishes are ok, some of them very good and quite refined, some of them average. The best part of the menu were by far the dessert. Both were excellent and quite exciting. I truly believe this restaurant has potential but when you pay 800 euros for a party of 4 you want to leave with a feeling of excitement and ideally also a memory of a special evening. Unfortunately, this was not the case.

    Amazing food, a amazing service from passionate hostess who clearly loves what she does as much as she loves food and wine. Each dish delighted and surprised. Only regret was getting the 5 courses instead of the full 9 courses!

    My wife and I visited Pure & V during a 4 day visit to Nice - the food was spectacular. Very creative and innovative menu with 100% locally sourced ingredients. Props to the chef and the entire staff for an amazing visit. I'd definitely recommend. Make sure you have reservations!

    Such a unique dinner experience. Interesting food, delightful wine pairings, knowledgeable staff. With only six tables in the restaurant, it felt more like a family meal than a restaurant experience…..that is, if your family were filled with five star chefs. This was truly a magnificent experience. Each of the many courses was surprising and delicate and delicious. We had a lovely conversations both with the owner and the chef. Such talented and passionate people. This was a unique evening. We left satisfied in every way.

    A romantic wedding anniversary dinner turned into a frightening experience and a visit to the hospital! Everything was going smoothly at the restaurant. Then the saga began - in response to our specific question on whether an allergic ingredient was present, the waiter came back with a firm "NO", after discussing with the chef. They confirmed that it was a look-alike ingredient and we ought not to worry. At our first taste, we knew we were in big trouble...it turned out that they DID include the ingredient abundantly (chef had a taste afterwards and admitted it. I mean ...how could this happen?) After some massive forced puking and frantically getting my husband's Epipen ready, we had to rush to hospital immediately for medication. They did not waive the price of my husband's meal (and not mine of course) and we paid for our portion in full, with hours of nerve wrecking. It was not about the food quality nor the price, but a lack of communication between staff and the very poor service, that earned them a 0 star. Food allergy can be a matter of life and death, and should be considered as basic training for chef and waiters. I hope this post can remind those with food allergy to be cautious and not entirely trust the restaurant. They were also unapologetic for almost killing my husband. AVOID AT ALL COST!
