Flaveur

★★ Michelin€€€€fine_dining, french

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

Previously chef of Granite, Tom Meyer, also a Meilleur Ouvrier de France, has replaced Arnaud Faye here. He demonstrates the solid qualities for which he is already renowned:

The chef devotes himself body and soul to devising flawlessly cooked and subtly seasoned dishes, rich in texture, whose intricacies he adores explaining to diners.

Le Bistrot de Jan

★ Michelin€€€€south_african, fine_dining

Next door to its MICHELIN-starred counterpart JAN, the laid-back yet elegant little brother has plenty of panache. With emerald-green walls and floors, crystal chandeliers, exposed stone pillars and floral arrangements, a bistro atmosphere reigns, yes, but a glamorous and refined one! The food strikes a nice balance between classic French bistro dishes – Rossini tournedos, sole meunière, tarte Tatin – and more personal influences. Chef Jan Hendrik, originally from South Africa, mischievously slips in a few childhood memories, such as lentil bobotie and malva pudding with house-made vanilla ice

All the tables face the open kitchen, where the chef crafts an immersive dining experience, including interactions at the counter, during which diners discover the spices that form the backbone to their meal – Sansho, Timut, green car

But the view does not eclipse the cuisine of Justin Schmitt. No stranger to prestigious kitchens, this veteran chef is a dab hand at cooking up precise modern cuisine with plenty of personality eg green asparagus from Provence with fresh goat's cheese ice cream and elderflower, and pearlescent cod wrapped in seaweed. The desserts are on a par – think velvety matcha rice pudding and tarragon sorbet.

La Table du Cap Estel

★ Michelin€€€€Modern Cuisine

Perched atop the rocky cliffside on an enchanting peninsula between Nice and Monaco, this hotel is one of the most secluded and exclusive spots on the Côte d'Azur. Access is via a discreet gate, then a winding path that seems to draw you away from the world. Dining on the terrace here, lulled by the swaying palms of a Mediterranean garden, feels like a rare privilege. Kevin Garcia, former executive chef for Frédéric Anton at Le Jules Verne enhances the blissful experience with his homage to seafood, garden herbs and top-quality locally grown vegetables. His straightforward dishes are forthrigh

Café des Musiciens

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.

Nestling in a chic neighbourhood, this bistro with a navy blue decor is home to a Piedmontese chef.

Originally from Vendée, chef Stéphane Chenneveau must have been a little crazy – or "fada" in the Nice dialect, to dare to revisit the city’s ubiquitous socca, flatbread made with chickpea flour... And yet it remains a firm fixture of the menu. The chef has never ceased to evolve, crafting flavoursome regional recipes, together with a more ambitious carte blanche menu which is seasonal and reflects his mood of the moment. Splendid biodynamic wine list.

In a side street set back from the port, chef Claudio Marsico, who hails from southern Italy, and Jacopo Marini, a sommelier from Lombardy, have transformed a former burger joint into this charming, bright and welcoming Mediterranean restaurant. The fresh, spontaneous cuisine, with spicy notes and hits of citrus flavour, takes daily inspiration from the neighbouring Saleya Market: fried artichokes, lemon vinaigrette and carrot ketchup; duckling fillet, sweet potato, leeks sautéed in butter and white wine. A constantly evolving European wine list completes this pleasant culinary interlude.

Pirouette

This intimate bistro was a grocery shop in a former life. Opened by the team behind Nice restaurant Les Agitateurs, this place serves up seasonal and fresh dishes playfully drawing inspiration from both classic and more exotic dishes: lamb in lettuce-leaf "tacos", "River Kwai" ravioli or, a classic if ever there was one, pigeon pithiviers and foie gras… On this short menu, most dishes are designed for sharing (for two people), to a background of trendy music. The "living" wine list also embraces the orange wine craze.

Their set menus feature dishes inspired by France and Provence (sea bass in an almond crust, courgettes and pistou) and elevated by discreet Japanese touches (wakame, oloshi sauce, yuzu).

We enjoyed the chicken raviolo served with vegetable stock and barley miso; shoulder of confit suckling lamb with navarin-style early vegetables; and, for dessert, the scrumptious riz au lait with Madagascar vanilla and salted caramel. Great value for money at lunchtime, and a warm welcome.

In a 17C former oil mill whose millstone and press are still visible, the kitchen sings an ode to bistro fare (veal blanquette and pilaf rice, beef tartare and fresh fries, black pudding with apples) and specialties from Nice like roast squid and risotto of Nice courgettes.
