Rouge

This is a fantastic wine bar in Nice and truly a hidden gem. A real must visit for wine lovers. They pour around 60 to 70 different wines by the glass, which honestly feels like a dream if you love wine. But Rouge is not only about wine. The kitchen is outstanding. We arrived around 3.30 pm and stayed until closing time because everything was so good that we kept ordering more. The food is creative generous and absolutely delicious. We tried razor clams, Parmigiano risotto with meat gravy, barbajuans, the candied pork knuckle burger, beef chong which is one of their signature dishes, and salted wild broccoli with raw almond. Every single dish was spot on. The atmosphere is great with beautiful nostalgic jazz and classic songs that make you want to stay longer. The staff is another big reason to come here. Julien and Alexandra at the bar are incredible. Their wine knowledge is deep and precise and whatever your taste is, they will find the perfect glass for you. Amazing wine, amazing food, amazing music and amazing people. If you are in Nice and you love wine, visiting Rouge is an absolute must.

Amazing food. Super unique and tasty, at a reasonable price. Best I’ve had in France after going to 5-10 restaurants. Server was nice too!

This was actually our first meal in Nice, and it turned out to be such a great start to our trip! We had seen some recommendations before coming, so we decided to give it a try—and we were so glad we did. The restaurant isn’t in the busiest touristy area, but tucked away in a quieter little street with a nice local view of the buildings around. The food, though, was absolutely amazing—every single dish we ordered was delicious, and the service was both super friendly and very fast. We ordered around five dishes, and they came out almost all at once, without any long wait (though to be fair, it wasn’t too crowded when we visited). The atmosphere was relaxed, the food was spot on, and we especially loved the pork belly and the octopus—they were cooked perfectly. Honestly, this was one of those meals where everything just felt right. We enjoyed it so much that we’re even considering going back before we leave Nice. Highly recommend!

The service, food and drinks were phenomenal. The pork belly might be one of the best things I’ve had. Lovely lovely staff and a gorgeous little spot. Pallet Truck (so sorry if I got that wrong) is a legend!

This was the first restaurant we went to on our first day in Nice, all thanks to the Michelin guide. It was a bit far from our hotel, but the journey was worth it. From the staffs that greeted us to the food, everything was perfect. It’s a small restaurant, but produces really good tasting food. All the waiters are friendly and jovial, with Leo who speaks english and able to explain the food and recommendations. Overall we loved the pork & octopus, and also barbajuan was so tasty! Thank you for the excellent experience, please keep it up and we hope to visit you again one day.

Best spot I found in Nice with amazing food. We tried pork belly, razor calm, sardine, and zucchini flowers tempura. The sauce from razor clam is perfect with bread 😋 Also the staff served us was super nice and kind. He gave good suggestions on wines. Apparently they change menus/seasonal food, so will definitely come back if I have a chance.

Had a wonderful dinner at Rouge. Food and wine were lovely! Highly recommend the Pork knuckle burger (didnt get a picture because it was eaten to quickly).

This was our first place to eat in Nice and it was amazing. The man behind the bar greeted us warmly and accommodated us with our preference of outdoor dining. Really pretty setting, it backs up to the walls of castle hill. Our waiter was amazing, I forget his name but he was from Belgium. Every item we got was amazing, really loved the pork belly. I want to go back! Impressive wine list
