The most exceptional meal in Nice! We learned about Lavomatique through a friend's recommendation. We are SO glad we took his recommendation as this was the most exceptional meal we have had in our European travels this season.
The location, a small former small laundrymat (hence the name, Lavomatique), has a warm and fun vibe with retro music and hip furnishings.
The small plate format is great for sharing. Dishes are prepared with care in an open kitchen complete with Big Green Egg wood smoker for the grilled meats. "Le 3 mousquetaires" behind the counter are fun and inviting. Service was impeccable as was the care with which the food was prepared. The menu changes daily and the culinary creativity shoes. We tried grilled zucchini, Panisse fries, and chicken. All dishes were accompanied by perfect sauces and bursting with flavor.
Save room for dessert and espresso, both are also exceptional.
If you are in Nice, don't miss a chance to try this exceptional restaurant; you will be glad that you did.
