Café des Musiciens

A MUST when you’re visiting Nice. Beautiful restaurant run by a lovely couple! The food was amazing and we were welcomed and taken care of in the most beautiful way. Thank you for this special experience.

The best dining experience ever! The small menu is a celebration of fresh, seasonal ingredients—think panisses with lemon and rosemary, pork and fig terrine, sea bass with chicken jus, and the best smoked mayo you’ll ever taste. Every dish is thoughtful, vibrant, and full of flavour. Add in the excellent service, natural wines, and cosy ambiance, and you’ve got the most memorable dining experiences in Nice. So good I went back 3 times in a week!

We ate here last night and had the best meal. Everything beautifully cooked (I had the panisses followed by the sea bass with a rich curry sauce and seasonal vegetables) with a strong focus on the sourcing. Don't skip dessert either, we shared a roasted white chocolate semi-freddo with local plums. Friendly and knowledgable service. 100% recommend!

It was a rainy night in Nice so our original booking at another restaurant was cancelled which we had waited for 6 months for and our activity earlier in the day was also cancelled. We were quite devastated about the news but nothing stopped us from trying to find another restaurant! My friends and I set on foot to find another restaurant but was turned down because the tables were booked out indoors except for Café des Musiciens. We were greeted by Charlotte who was very warm and friendly. We were captivated by the ambience and Charlotte’s enthusiasm. We entered and settled into our seats and from there the night got better - the food, service and coincidentally Charlotte and Christopher also had lived in Australian. It made it feel comfortable and special on such a day where a lot of what we had planned did not go well. So thank you to the both Charlotte and Christopher for the service tonight and delicious food and dessert! Very unique, balanced and used fresh produce from local markets. They change their menu daily as well to keep it new so their efforts in developing the business is to be commended for. All their foods paired well with the excellent wine. Would definitely recommend to dine in if you’re in Nice !

This is a new rising star on the block - a great family restaurant. Charlotte (in the room) and her husband (in the kitchen) offer great meals. We like how classical dishes have been re-created. Kids have enjoyed their meals too (that’s does not happen often). I can’t but mention the sauce for the eggs. No wonder that the chef has got some rewards for that. Between the meals we enjoyed guessing the names of the great musicians on the picture (luckily Charlotte has got hints). We’ve been two times already and we would definitely come again.

Professional and welcoming service, using fresh local ingredients from Nice. The lunch set (formule midi) offers generous portions. The egg mayo appetizer and the crème caramel à la mandarine dessert are absolutely delicious and worth trying.

A great discovery in Nice! Charming restaurant with interesting, flavorful, and well-prepared dishes at lunchtime with a good wine list. Friendly and welcoming service. Excellent value for the lunch formulas.

Lovely authentic French cuisine. Beautifully presented and tasty. The sea bass was perfectly cooked. The gnocchi was a wonderful mix of flavours. Good value. Friendly welcome and service. As there are only two working the restaurant you have to wait a (short) while but it’s worth the wait. Relax and enjoy the experience.
