L'Atelier

The food/menu is well done but unfortunately attention to important details is not. Even though i said i was allergic to nuts, the chef put nuts in every single dish as a decoration. Extremely dangerous if you have a big sensitivity against nuts. It happened in every dish (2 entrees and 2 main).

This place deserve more than 10 stars! I haven’t eaten that well since a while. Fantastic author’s cuisine and very good service. Thank you

Loved the place. Authentic food. Excellent menu, prepared in an open kitchen in front of you. Casual, friendly stuff. Relaxed athmosphere

Amazing food! Beautiful and full of flavor! A hidden germ, take the « seafood spaghetti » reinvented by the chef (and owner)

Very good restaurant in Nice. I really appreciate the food, the wine and the service.

This one deserves a Michelin star. The food is delicious and creative, and the price was cheap. We booked L'Eau de Vie, which is a Michelin restaurant across from it. They messed up our reservation and pointed us to L'atelier, which exceeded our expectations. Talked to the waiter, they did achieve a Michelin star before, but lost it during Covid. They are considering participating in the Michelin star program again.

All dishes made from scratch. Delicious. Cooked to perfection. Husband and wife business, ensuring top quality. 15 guests max at a time.

Great experience in this small place. The quality and quantity are super qualitative and the owners are a very nice couple putting all their heart in their business. Should deserved a star Michelin.

With so much amazing food in Nice, it would be difficult to not eat well, even for a tourist. But when you are given a heads up about a restaurant from a reliable local, then it would be foolish to not heed the advice. For us, a visit to L'Atelier was that advice and we are glad that we went. Things didn't start off well, but they couldn't have needed better. It was a wet, nasty day. And by the time we made it to the restaurant, it was that odd time of day where they are closing their lunch service and will not be open until dinner service. But the awesome staff told us that they can still make us some Socca. I had the socca with cheese and my wife had the socca with foie gras. They were both absolutely amazing. Perfectly cooked and perfectly seasoned. All the ingredients just came together well. It was also a surprisingly large portion. What I thought was going to be a snack turned out to be a meal. And with a great coffee at the end our meal was complete. It's not too often that one can visit a Michelle star rated restaurant and have a meal for under 20 euro per person. But that's exactly what we did here. One day, I'd love to come back and try everything else on the menu. I have no doubt it's just as good.

The socca appetizers were nice and tasty. The service was average at best. For a $50 bill for 2 soccas and 2 beers I expect more.

This was by far one of my favorite places to dine in Nice! We came here when we were visiting Nice in May and the weather was pleasant enough to sit and eat our meal outside. As a lot of restaurants in France, L'atelier has its menu written on a blackboard with chalk. This is one of the things I love about dining in France (at least at the good spots) is that they really aim to serve food that is in season and the menu changes constantly to accommodate for the various seasonal produce / meat / fish. The specialty of this place is socca (this is a Nicoise specialty which is basically a chickpea flour crepe). I am vegan and gluten free so I was really delighted that they could accommodate for my dietary restrictions. This place takes the simple socca - which is traditionally served with salt and pepper and elevates it to another level by making individual soccas in their cast iron pots and then topping it with various delicacies - as I recall you could get anything from foie gras to Thai beef to grilled vegetables as a topping on your socca. One of the things that I really liked about this place was the service. Not only was it good but the waiter was so charming (a delight to find anywhere but especially in France). Not to get on a soapbox, but one of biggest pet peeves when visiting a restaurant is lack of good service. It can be the best restaurant in the world with the most amazing food but the meal is imperfect unless accompanied with great service. But this place has the most spectacular service, our waiter was charming and more than willing to help us out since the menu was written in French (and my French is rustic at its best)! Me and my boyfriend both decided to order socca - I ordered mine topped with various seasonal roasted vegetables while my boyfriend ordered his with Thai beef (which the server recommended). I wasn't in the mood to drink but my boyfriend ordered a glass of red with the recommendation of our server. Both of us really enjoyed our meal! It was flavorful, seasoned perfectly and very well balanced. My boyfriend also thought that this wine paired really well with the Thai beef. I was quite full after the meal but we looked around and the desserts looked so delicious that my boyfriend couldn't resist and ordered the deconstructed Ferrero Rocher (suggested by our server once again!). The dish was so beautiful to look that - its served in a glass jar and has mousse at the bottom and layered with chocolate and crunchy nuts and had several cookies and chocolate added from top. Its much easier to explain via the picture (which I have added). Overall, our experience here was great and I would highly recommend trying out this place if you find yourselves in Nice!

Excellent food in a very rustic restaurant. Very warm interior. Awesome value. Reserve early, only 26 seats.

One of the best! WE made Nice our headquarters on a 3 week south of france trip and this was the one we kept coming back to... hope to be back next summer!

The worst thing about our dinner at L'Atelier was that it came on our last night in Nice -- we might've eaten there every night had it come up earlier in my restaurant searching. It could be that the name, which essentially means "shop" and is common in many business names, and the location, a bit away from the restaurant-heavy areas of the city, make it harder to find online. Since we had an early flight out the next morning, we were out to get dinner relvatively early, and arrived just a few minutes after their dinner hours began as the evening's first patrons. We had sought out various niçois dishes during our trip, but hadn't had socca yet. L'Atelier takes a unique approach to the regional specialty, using it as a base on which to serve a variety of toppings. Unlike the socca that some restaurants make in a large pan and split into smaller servings, these are individual-sized. My wife and I ordered the Thai beef and the bresaola and mozzerella, and split them. They were superb. I preferred the bresaola a bit, if only because it was more unusual for me. The ingredients were fresh and delicious all the way around. They had an extensive dessert list, from which we ordered chocolate and raspberry crepes. This was a dish of three small crepes with chocolate filing, folded into triangles and covered with raspberries and sauce, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream (or gelato perhaps) and a pinch of coconut sprinkles on the side. Also delicious. The service was great as well. Our server answered whatever questions we had about the menu and happily tolerated my weak French. She recommended wines for us from their extensive selection, as well. Not long after we arrived, the rest of the restaurant began to fill up, and it was mostly full by the time we left. It isn't very big -- maybe 10 tables -- but our server was handling the whole place, and two chefs were running the entire kitchen. Nonetheless, she was very charming and helpful, and provided a great night to end our trip.

Wonderful! Unique! Gluten free heaven! We had dinner at L'atelier last night. It was excellent. Besides fresh fish the specialty of the house is a naturally gluten free socca with your choice of different main dishes on top. I ordered the fresh tuna tartare which was cut similar to poke and marinated in a sesame ginger delight. Fresh greens were dressed similarly, and both were arranged masterfully with shaved cheese on top. Every bit of it melted in my mouth. My husband ordered the socca with smoked salmon rolled with French cheese, and it while it looked similar the flavor was not similar to mine; yet equally delicious. (Socca is a chick pea flour crepe.) A great wine was suggested, and it was a perfect pairing. We saw people sharing these as a first course but chose not to. We ate it as a main. Great second, third, and dessert choices, too! We were told the pasta is made in house. Very nice people attended to us, too.
