Le Chantecler

Modern Cuisine · ★ Michelin

€€€€

Le Negresco regally occupies its seafront location on Nice’s iconic Promenade des Anglais. "MOF" 2015, Virginie Basselot, is at the helm of its fine dining restaurant, Le Chantecler. In this swanky setting, the Normandy-born chef makes no secret of her ambition to craft a creative, modern score using first-class ingredients, cherry-picked from local artisans with whom she has forged strong ties. Each dish tells a story of purity and simplicity, illustrated by Mediterranean monkfish in a lemon balm and Var lemon-laced butter, or red mullet with combava-flavoured cabbage purée and a seasoning ma

Flaveur

fine_dining, french · ★★ Michelin

€€€€

The Tourteaux brothers, Gaël and Mickaël, are inseparable. Not only did they attend the same hotel school in Nice (and sit exams in the same room) and both train at the Negresco during Alain Llorca's time there, but they also share the same motivation to run their own place, delivering good, honest, tasty fare. The result of this fraternal alliance is Flaveur, a project into which they ploughed all their energy to the point of receiving a Michelin star in 2011, and a second one in 2018.How might the "Tourteaux touch" be summed up? A certain kind of confidence, boldness and measured risk-taking

L'Aromate

Modern Cuisine · ★ Michelin

€€€€

This attractive restaurant is idyllically located near Place Masséna in the heart of Nice. The contemporary decor sports a black, white and gold colour scheme, untreated materials such as wood and granite and a glazed kitchen overlooking the dining room. The scene is set for chef, Mickaël Gracieux, armed with an iron-clad CV (Oustau de Baumanière, Plaza Athénée, Le Bristol, Louis XV, etc), to craft modern, creative and elegantly presented cuisine using top-quality produce from Nice and the Mediterranean (San Remo prawns, trumpet courgettes, local green crab, squid and citrus fruits, etc).

Racines - Bruno Cirino

Vegetarian, Mediterranean Cuisine · ★ Michelin

€€€

Bruno Cirino and his faithful right-hand man, José Vidal, regale diners with a bargain-priced single set menu composed entirely of local organic or sustainably grown fruit and vegetables in their small eatery. They propose "kitchen garden cuisine" using ingredients that are picked only when perfectly ripe. Their talented craftsmanship shines the spotlight on characteristic Mediterranean produce, like garlic, olive oil and basil. Dig into a soup of red spring onions and basil; purple artichoke with a cheesy emulsion and grilled spiny artichoke; compressed root vegetables à la “César Baldaccini”

L'Alchimie

Modern Cuisine · Bib

€€

Picture a modern, buzzy hangout popular with local foodies for its sensibly priced honest food and its particularly enticing lunch menu, something of a bargain for Nice. Think pork in a tom kha kai stock, beef confit in peas and carrots or upside-down-style apple tartlet – good food that ticks all the boxes. Invariably fully booked for the first service, it is much easier to find a table come 2pm. Only open for dinner on Friday and Saturday.

Chez Davia

Regional Cuisine · Bib

€€

This likeable establishment, run by the same family since 1953, was founded by grandma Davia and taken over in 1985 by mum, Alda, now retired. Since 2016, Pierre Altobelli, whose impressive CV features star establishments in France and Asia, concocts tempting recipes rich in the aromas of Nice. Every detail is perfect, and the ingredients are meticulously sourced. Served in a welcoming vintage bistro décor steeped in authenticity. Heavenly!

Café des Musiciens

Farm to table · Bib

€€

Here in the Musicians' Quarter, Australian chef Christopher Edwards, who hails from Paris, devises a short menu that makes no bones about sticking strictly to market produce: autumn terrine with figs, tripe stew Niçoise-style, Perugina sausages and Sardinian fregola. These are hearty, unpretentious dishes, served in a simple setting by Charlotte (his partner), who cordially manages the dining room and handles the well-chosen selection of natural wines. Lunch is very affordable, dinner more ambitious but still reasonably priced.

Oh Nice, how your flavours captivate! Lorenzo Ragni and Florencia Montes are the endearing and talented Italo-Argentinian couple at the helm of this intimate address in the antiques quarter. After an international career in Michelin-starred restaurants, they met at Mauro Colagreco's Mirazur. Today, they jointly sign a festival of crisp, gutsy dishes that reflect the seasons and the local catch, together with the occasional striking, and most welcome, flavour combination: tagliatelle of cuttlefish, lemon and citron dressing; seabass paired with an emulsion of champagne and cockles; bloody orang
