Bistrot Gourmand

good food, not too touristy, proper service although good wines are not much. dorada with cream sauce is perfectly done. ris d’agneu was dry. poisson soup was nice. olive oil and butter are fantastic. the place is centrical but not too crowded.

We had a mixed experience with the food. Had the mushroom soup which was out of this world however the octopus pasta was very hard, fishy and inedible. It is quite a romantic place and a little pricey for the food we had.

What a wonderful experience. The food was amazing and delightful. So creative and tasty. The star of the show was Alex. He was such a joy and pleasure interacting with and educating us on the food. Thank you for making our night Alex. We miss you and will see you soon hermano. Best wishes. Sorry for the late review…we owed you this for the exceptional service.

Lovely service! Really loved shrimp ravioli and the fish dish!! It was one of the best I had and I am not a big fan of french style fish. Celery puree went very well with the fish. It was really helpful that they opened until 3 pm when all other restaurants are closing at 1 pm. A gentleman who served me was very lovely and made my time enjoyable.

It was a good restaurant and the service was very good (although they were extremely rushed). The set up is great as well and it’s a good menu they offer. The food was a little disappointing, it wasn’t that is was badly cooked it was more the flavours they were trying to combine with what should be classic, simple dishes. There were far too many flavours going on in each dish and it just came out as oily and bitter. I like that there was attention to detail and the restaurant is clearly trying to raise their game. I think they would benefit from just taking the well cooked meat/ fish and adding one or two flavours to accompany each dish. 5-7 flavours is just too much in my opinion. My wife, on the other hand, really enjoyed it so make of that what you will. Perhaps it was just me? Regardless, I’d still recommend the restaurant.

Visiting France from Australia, we went to this restaurant when we were in Nice for a few days. We had the degustation menu as we wanted to try a few things. The food had definitely good portions. My favourite would be the carpaccio and the ravioli with fish soup. The flavours all went well together and were extraordinary. The main dish which was the beef steak was good, but was cooked more than we liked (I'm not sure if the level of doneness is different in France and in Australia). Nevertheless, the meat remained tender. The desserts were okay, nothing extraordinary but well made and tasted delicious. The service was good, but we did have to ask about the food more as we weren't sure at times what we were getting served. The facilities looked clean and the atmosphere was pleasant. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a French / Mediterranean infusion type of food.

I searched vigorously for the best dinning experience in Nice and came across this restaurant online. It was the best meal we had in France! The prawn ravioli to start was game changer. Then we got the fish soup and the filet of meat. We asked to share and the restaurant kindly split all dishes in two for myself and my wife! Price was so reasonable for the area as well! (2 glasses of wine, 1 starter and 2 entrees = spent 100€)

Dishes refined in every detail. Great attitude of service to the customer! Thank you for the kind reception of the bride-to-be!
