In Nice's old town, opposite the town hall, this restaurant's newly refurbished interior is organised around an open kitchen and a counter where customers can sit to eat. But the real pleasure is to be found in the food, with traditional dishes chalked up on the board each day, including for starters the home-made pissaladière, devilled eggs or calamari a la plancha.

Under the management of a Japanese chef who lacks neither experience nor enthusiasm, this smart establishment can be relied upon to deliver the goods. The lunchtime menu is something of a bargain for Nice! The score is Mediterranean, minimalist, fresh and wonderfully delicate, with a scattering of Japanese twists.

At a remove from the tourist trail, this unassuming gourmet bistro has opened its doors opposite the Docks de la Riviera covered market, in the area around the market (Marché de la Libération) and the Gare du Sud food hall.

An intimate sushi counter in pale-coloured wood and another small, pared-back space through a stone archway – this is where Shintaro Suzuki, the meticulous and focused chef, presents his no-nonsense authentic Japanese cuisine at very reasonable prices. The must-try dishes include confit aubergine marinated in soy sauce and ginger, beef tataki with onion yakiniku sauce, and yuzu-miso tuna katsu. A simpler set menu is available at lunchtime; reservation required.

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.

Between Place Garibaldi and the port, this offshoot of the Peixes Opéra also boasts a huge terrace that is taken by storm on sunny days! The Bonaparte deploys the same winning formula of seafood dishes (fish, tataki, sashimi, accras, oysters) and ceviche specialities. The updated blue and white seafaring bistro decor calls to mind Portugal or Greece. Behind the bar, a mixologist conjures up cocktails. The lunch menu is a steal. Open all day long, albeit with a more concise menu until 7pm.
