La Cave du Fromager

Visited here last night for my birthday meal. Amazing atmosphere, and gorgeous food. We ordered baked camembert and fondue with charcuterie for two and ate everything. The only negative I have is you couldn’t pay by card as we don’t have a french pay system. Nearby ATM charges €6 to get cash!

If you think Nice has all types of restaurants, you’re absolutely right. The entrance is a bit unassuming, with a small reception area, but once you’re taken down to the underground level, you discover a romantic, cozy cave-like setting. It’s truly stunning. The food is delightful, so be prepared to break your diet here! The service is very friendly and welcoming, with servers who have excellent wine knowledge and are eager to offer great recommendations. One small suggestion: it would be helpful to have more options for pregnant women. When I called ahead, they mentioned having a few dishes, but unfortunately, only salad was available. Overall, I had a wonderful dinner and highly recommend this place

Amazing atmosphere, fantastic service. Went here twice in 5 days while in Nice, it was that good. We tried 8 different dishes and were not disappointed with any of them.

Horrible food, horrible service, horrible wine. After walking past and trying to come for lunch before being told abruptly they are only open for dinner and to book online. Booked for the evening and required credit card details to hold the booking -ok. Then arrived for our reservation to a near empty restaurant and seated under the down pipe for a bathroom upstairs- constant hearing the flushing of the pipe above your head. Ordered terrine and a cheese plate, the terrine was a pile of cold sausage mince and the 5 types of cheese was plonked down and waiter walked off before being able to enquire what type of cheese they were… 3 of the 5 cheese was nice, if the service was better I would happily buy a wheel of each. Order the fondue and for €28 each so €54 for the 2 of us it was not at all worth the price. It was very mediocre and came with damp bread for dipping. Could not eat it and that’s saying something when I eat nearly everything edible. The 2023 bottle of white wine for €34 was nice until the second glass when clumps of strange brown ‘snot’ appeared. The waiter did not care. When going upstairs to pay we are told they don’t take card payments… despite needing card payments to hold the booking??!! So €120 in cash and needing to go to an atm nearby that charges £6 to withdraw we were finally able to pay and leave. Absolutely horrible. Horrible food, horrible service horrible wine.

Lovely place for a dinner. Service is excellent and the environment is so much fun. We loved eating different cheeses and meats inside of a cave. Would highly recommend for a nicer dinner out. It would be best to make a reservation beforehand. Cash only!

Absolutely loved our dinner at La Cave du Fromager. We were delighted by environment. When we arrived we were surprised to be shown downstairs into a beautifully decked out cellar (which during the heatwave was excellent at keeping us cool by bringing us down from the hot city and into the air conditioned dark). Our waitress recommended a delicious sparkling wine and showed us how the meats and cheeses were freshly cut and presented. We chose charcuterie and fondue and LOVED it. There was so much to enjoy that we couldn’t manage a dessert but they looked delicious on other tables. We will be back! Our favourite meal during our honeymoon.

This place is just EPIC! We came here without a reservation and the staff were welcoming. It’s good to point out at this time that they take CASH ONLY. So make sure you have brought enough with you. The ambiance and setting is very charming and welcoming, the decor, lighting and feeling was really nice. The food? Amazing. We ordered the raclette with supplemented cheese and red wine. Avoided the starters and was the right choice as the main was filling… all the flavours of the cheese, charcuterie and bread etc were so nice - incredible homely comfort food. Had the chocolate fondant for desert - all deserts are made on site and just super tasty. The staff translated into English really well however it’s always good to at least try speaking in French to meet them half way. This, for me was one of the most warming and rich dining experiences I’ve had in Nice. This place has some negative reviews and everyone will have a different experience but my advice? The team here work incredibly hard to provide an amazing experience. Be humble and grateful for the fact you can experience something tasty and amazing and not to be disrespectful and entitled. Parting note: Reserve now! Thank you for an amazing experience, we will be back :-)

I will give 4* as it was not top experience. The place inside is amazing, the cellar makes it special atmosphere and those tables… it looks so cosy. We ordered fondue and it was not the best one. Unfortunately in the middle of our meal the cheese separated from the fat and this oil was simply horrible and we asked the waiter what happened and he just turned off the heat from the bottom! It was really not looking good and tasty! We were left like this without a single world or explanation. We were unable to continue as it looked disgusting. We got coffee and desserts. It was ok. But to be honest they looked the same as they were bought in the other place and just the price was higher. The location is in the middle of the old town. The inside is great but the food… I have never returned there… I will not pay such amount of money for nothing.
