Le Bar des Oiseaux

Nice secret restaurant in the old city of Nice. We arrived late around 21.30 without reservation, but after 20 minutes we got a table ❤️ Really nice dishes prepared with passion and good taste and flavours. Reasonable price taking the quality into account. Bib gourmand level. We can only recommend 😊

This fantastic restaurant is hidden away in the backstreets of Nice. Small restaurant with excellent service and a blackboard menu. French inspired plates with a modern twist. Everything was delicious. I had a carbonara style ravioli with calamari that was unique and delicious. Nice wines. Good prices. Highly recommend.

Great little French restaurant in back alley of old town. Very popular and I recommend booking. We had a 15 minute wait for a table for 2. Food was fantastic and I highly recommend it. We are the chicken and duck and paired it with a nice rose wine. The fig dessert was great.

Wow wow wow. Reservations recommended! We managed to get seated without one by showing up right at opening, but not much availability was left. Recommend getting a starter as well as a main course (and dessert!), as portions are a little small but priced reasonably and the taste was incredible. Even indoor seating was well-appointed and beautiful.

The mushroom ravioli were delicious and satisfying. The dish felt light and fresh. I left excited to return to try all the dishes on the menu

We went for lunch. Our waiter was very friendly and spoke excellent English. He talked us through the menu and made recommendations. The calamari was among the best I've ever had, with a unique texture unlike what I've had before. It was ace! The bourride was also lovely, and the wine suggested with it was also lovely! An excellent meal and a steal at the price.

COULD NOT HAVE BEEN BETTER! Best meal we’ve had in France so far this trip. Set the benchmark for food and service! Our waiter was friendly, funny, knew his job and was spot on with his recommendations. Had three appetizers, two mains, one desert, wine and after dinner drinks. All were well prepared, tasty and cooked perfectly. I would return here in a minute.

Lovely ambiance and good food. We especially enjoyed the pasta with mushrooms and the pasta with calamari. The starter we tried (stuffed courgette) was just average, and the desserts were good, but not particularly memorable. However, I’d definitely return for the pasta!

Great fast service, celebrated a birthday and staff were so kind. The food is tasty, nice art inside and good view into the kitchen!

Ok , the place is just OK. Another case of a restaurant being over hyped. The grilled calamari was chewy in a bad way. Chef , please, zucchini flowers are delicate, and my palate senses that they are best enjoyed fried with a touch of delicate filling. These were stuffed to the brim with, I think, a too runny ricotta. Plus, the zucchini flowers were not fried ,I think they were blanched. I am eating my main course right now, and it's sort of soupy white fish and octopus combo with a hint of Thai chilling paste. This was not a restaurant quality dish in my humble opinion. Given how my meal was, I'm not gonna stay for dessert. I'll take my chances on some random gelato place.

This was my first visit Bar des Oiseaux. It was stupendous. I had the lunch tasting menu for 20 euros - house terrine with a cornichon jelly, chicken breast with a wonderful mushroom sauce and gnocchi, and a tasty apricot with cream dessert. It's a very extensive menu so I want to come back to try more dishes!

One of our last stops of the trip was the south of France, which you can imagine was a culinary delight! We didn't make any reservations ahead of time, but I had a list of places all in the same area that I wanted to try. Thankfully they had a later seating time which allowed us to grab a drink before dinner. This hidden gem is literally located down an alley, with a changing menu (all in french by the way). But luckily for us, our server was super sweet and explained each item off the menu in English to us. 1. This creamy mushroom "soup" with a perfectly runny egg with bits of bacon: It was so rich/creamy and divine (I was so tempted to order another) 2. We also went for the beef tartare : I found the aftertaste to be a bit weird, so I wasn't really a fan of this) 3. Chicken and mushroom, which was served in a little pot: The chicken was juicy on the inside however I found the flavors to be a bit lacking 4. The duck was absolutely heavenly, super flavorful and cooked tender in the center We had a great first meal here in Nice, just wished we had a bigger group and would recommend calling ahead of time to guarantee a reservation as we saw many unlucky patrons being turned away!

I came here because of local recommendation as well as the reviews I had read. All in all, the food was decent but I was left dissatisfied and unimpressed. Highly sought after, this restaurant garnered a lot of attention. The place was booked but my partner and I managed to grab a table outside. We ordered rose, two different seafood plates, and an apple tart. The server was attentive as any other server we experienced in France. He translated a few options for us but was always rushed and not present. Unfortunately, the plates we ordered were very similar just a different presentation. I was not happy with the little amount of seafood in the plate. The thinnest pieces of calamari, 6 small muscles, and 3 very small pieces of fish. The highlight of the meal was the rose and the dessert. The place is worth a visit and I hope you experience better. I will keep exploring elsewhere.

Found this as a recommendation on Lonely Planet and was not disappointed! Fantastic atmosphere tucked within the magical streets of Vieux Nice. We chose to age outside but the inside was lovely as well. Great lunch deals! Our waiter was wonderful and helpful translating menu items to English for us. We both had ravioli (artichoke with poached egg in some magical sauce as well as the steak of tuna option) and we can honestly say that this was our best meal in France thus far!

Our annual return back to Nice reminded me that I hadn't written a review of our lunch here in June 2018. The food was beautifully presented, in perfect portions but nothing spectacularly delicious, and I love the atmosphere of this charming little spot. Our service was wonderful, helpful and cheerful, and the prices seemed reasonable for the quality. However, the credit card receipt we were presented to sign was 10E more than the bill we had been shown. The waitress (still cheerful) apologized and quickly handed us a 10E bill as refund. Hopefully this was an honest error but I do recommend checking the amount charged to your credit card against the bill.

My favorite meals in Nice were enjoyed here. From the daily changing chalkboards to the culinary quirks and unconventional evening spritzes - I couldn't help but come back for more.

Amazing meal in Nice! There were 4 of us and they were busy but able to seat us right away. Loved the food and decor!

Monsieur P and I adore this eatery. I would say "every time we visit the Cote D'Azur we dine here", but since only going twice I am more Madam Currie than Marie Antoinette. I had the pâté, made from every delicious bird who has the privilege of feathering a French nest. My handsome Hubbie indulged in the gnocchi. Pricey dinner, but worth every €. Dine here for the food & to hear the French speak to one another in (very) close proximity of a neighboring table. Until then I had never heard a conversation oscillate between politics, romance, & food all within 10 minutes. Truly a triste for the tastebuds.

Easily one of the best meals we have had in Nice. The spaghetti with sausage was amazing, but the ravioli with asparagus in a truffle sauce deserves a Michelin star. Well done.

Great restaurant amazing food very good service I would definitely go back there again I highly recommend this restaurant to everybody visits Nice.

We stumbled across this place after not being able to get into the restaurant we planned on. It was so serendipitous because this cafe was amazing. The drawings of famous chefs on their chalk board drew us in as well as their menu. Nice has a unique blend of classic French and Italian influences which the chef here did perfectly. We sat out on the patio which music playing as we sipped our wine and ate some of the best food I've ever had. The escargot and the pasta they have is fantastic. If we ever make it back to Nice, we'll be eating here again for sure.

Stopped in for lunch at the recommendation of a server from another local restaurant and had the most amazing meal ever. We shared the calamari with pasta starter, which was fresh and light. For entrees, we had the sausage with spaghetti (in the most delicious tomato sauce ever) with basil and the pork (so tender) with gnocchi. For dessert, we had the baked apple in caramel sauce with crumble. The service was fantastic and they were so nice to us even though we do not speak any French. We could not ask for more and quite honestly, this was our favorite meal while visiting in France.

The best restaurant in old town nice! The greatest restaurants are the ones that are hard to find or you find by accident! This is the most satisfying restaurant because every single dish from the gnocchi, to the fish to the pork it was pretty amazing Staff was excellent and this is a true French dining experience!
