Ruhl Plage

I stayed in Nice for four days, and on three of them I came here to enjoy my coffee. On Monday around noon, I was served by a very kind gentleman with shoulder-length hair tied back. On Wednesday and Thursday, I was served by a young lady with such a positive and welcoming attitude. The service was wonderful, attentive without being intrusive. They even checked back at the table to make sure everything was fine, which I really appreciated. It truly feels like you have a great team here, and I would be happy if both of them could receive my feedback.

An unforgettable experience at Ruhl Plage! Before choosing where to spend our afternoon, we walked along the Promenade des Anglais, comparing menus, prices and the overall atmosphere of each beach restaurant. The clear winner was Ruhl Plage and it truly exceeded all expectations! The cuisine is delicious, beautifully presented and full of authentic Mediterranean flavors. The reception and table service were impeccable, with every detail handled gracefully and professionally. The tables are prepared to a true 5-star standard, everything was spotless and the staff makes you feel genuinely welcome. After lunch, we relaxed on the comfortable sunbeds, enjoying the view of the sea and the elegant energy of the Promenade. It’s the perfect spot for anyone seeking a unique experience between the sea and the city — elegant, peaceful and unforgettable. Highly recommended — Ruhl Plage is the place to be in Nice! 🌊🍽️✨

Good beach place with nice service, good restaurant and good sunbeds. 30 euro for the bed included parasol, 42 Euro for front row included towel. The truffle pizza was the best pizza i ever had, really amazing 😋 Nice and clean shower and toilet. We will definitely come back when we visit Nice next time ☀️🏖️

A nice beach club with their iconic day bed and umbrella. We paid 30€ on a Thursday, arriving around 3pm and we were able to get two beds right in front of the water. Beds were comfortable and their menu has a lot of selections. It was a little hard to flag their staffs down since there were so many people but the staffs are friendly overall. It was a nice way to spend a day relaxing at the beach. We wish that they would open a little longer since the sun sets so late anyways but they already start packing up around 6:30pm. The bed and umbrella was indeed iconic for a Nice beach. Very beautiful and chic. I wish we have a little bit more space in between. It felt a little cramped with everyone an inch away from each other.

We spent our last full day in Nice here relaxing and watching the planes land at the airport. It was wonderful! The drinks were good, and the views were spectacular. Very worth it to spend the day here!

Really a great beach club to get a chair, umbrella, great food (good quality and quantity), drinks and service. A bit off season so the prices may be a bit lower because I was surprised the umbrella was included with the chairs. 5 of us were easily able to get chairs together and they were comfortable and high quality. Typical “stone” beach so recommended beach shoes to be worn but they have nice “mats” to make it more comfortable to get to the water. Overall I would highly recommend.

Ruhl Plage was amazing! Recommended by my hotel Concierge, we went 3 days in a row and had the best time. We had three beach loungers and umbrellas and were waitednon all day as we enjoyed the sun, sand, and water. The servers were great, especially Lauren, she catered to us and was very kind and pleasant. Everything we are was tops. The Caesar, the fruit, the burgers, you can't go wrong. Note: Be sure to wear water shoes, the beach is rocky and are painful to walk on bare feet.

We booked a day at this beach club for our last full day in Nice, and it was absolutely worth it. We arrived around 10:30 AM and were shown to our lounge chairs. Our waiter, Patrick, was extremely welcoming and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed throughout the day. We requested an additional umbrella for some extra shade, and he got it for us right away. The food was delicious, and we kept it simple with a hamburger, ham sandwich, fries, and a refreshing bowl of watermelon. Everything was tasty and satisfying for a relaxed beach day. One thing to note: as others have mentioned, it's highly recommended to book in advance since it can get busy. The service might be a little slower during busier hours, but that’s completely understandable given how popular the spot is. The key is to be patient – the stunning view and relaxing atmosphere definitely make it all worth it. Overall, a fantastic experience and a perfect way to spend our final day in Nice. Would highly recommend!

Checked in about 4PM and we were taken to our umbrella and beach chairs ( massively cramped up for sure). We checked in and settled though it took some time for someone to come to us grab our order. We requested the lady at the front desk to change our chairs to the ones behind us though it seems she forgot to inform the same to our server and we saw some frustration flying around for that. Our order got a bit mixed up as well though he was able to fix it and got us with all that we had ordered. Got ourselves an Americano , an iced coffee, half a pineapple and a bowl of diced watermelon. The presentation do the fruits was great and they taste very fresh as well. The Americano that we received initially was just warm and the quantity was less than little. My wife walked to the front and the lady at the front desk did make her a fresh one to solve the problem. The juice is not freshly squeezed and is served from a bottle which is good to know just in case. We paid initially about $80 for the two chairs and the umbrella and the setting was just ok and like I mentioned it was too cramped for an ideal beach setting. Recommend it- maybe not very positive though!!

Ruhl Plage was recommended by a friend. The beach club is stunning with navy and white umbrellas lining the sand. The day we went was a little overcast, which made it perfectly comfortable. We decided to do it right in France and ordered a bottle of Taittinger sparkling rosé and may have gone for a second because why not, it's vacation. The water was gorgeous and I couldn't resist a quick dip in the Mediterranean. We just had an appetizer since we had a late lunch planned, but this is the perfect spot to just kick back, relax, and soak in the scenery.

Very picturesque beach club and the food was good however the service was very slow and the beachside servers were quite rude. Took them over an hour to even give us a menu and we had to ask..meanwhile people that got there well after us had already had drinks served (I have a hunch it's bc we're American)

This is the beach club I'm Nice with the beautiful blue and white umbrellas. As of June 2025, the cost for a bed and umbrella is €30 per person. Towels are extra, and we brought our own, so I don't know how much those cost to rent. The day beds cannot be reserved in advance. However, I think you can make reservations for the restaurant. We did not order any food or drinks, but I overheard the guest around me check out and the bills can definitely be in the hundred if you're into that. My husband and I snuck in our own water bottles and fruit. Not sure if that's technically allowed, but we didn't have any problems. For me, spending €60 for two people to have our own bed and umbrella on a beach for the whole day in the South of France is definitely worth it. You also get toilets and showers included. The beach club is super clean and the staff is so nice. The water is amazing and there is a life guard on duty. I would give Ruhl Plage a 10/10.

We stopped here for lunch one day, no reservation and were able to get a table right away. It was a little pricy but the food was delicious and the atmosphere was really nice. I love eating by the water and this is right on the beach! The restaurant part of the club is open but covered so you aren't sitting in the direct sun which is nice! The Truffle pizza was soooo good I would highly recommend!

Stumbled upon this restaurant when walking along the beach and I'm so happy we tried it for lunch! It was such a beautiful setting hanging amongst their striped umbrellas. Their poké bowl was really tasty. Everything tasted super fresh and the soy sauce on top was the perfect touch. We also opted for some shrimp tempura over veggies and this was an incredible dish too. The service was excellent. Our food came out in a timely pace and honestly, sitting right by the ocean was priceless. Their table settings and plating of food was beautiful. Such a great meal and experience while in Nice. Highly recommend!

When visiting Nice making time to relax under an umbrella, take a dip in the Mediterranean, sip on a mojito, and catch some rays is a must. Here they charge 50 euros to do all that, mojitos are extra but delicious. I found the equipment new, clean, and comfortable and if walking through the rocks is not your thing, they wheel out a bridge first thing every morning so you can walk past the rocks and climb into the water. Hey also have showers and restrooms for your comfort. Meals are also available but I had lunch plans elsewhere. What I did see of the food looks very good.

Terrible experience. Don't fall for the trap. Terrible serving experience, uncooked food. Literally just paid for uneaten food to get out of the headache

Avoid this place. The hype is not true. The woman at the front is the meanest, rudest person I have ever been served by. She berated me and another random little old lady for being a few minutes early prior to opening, instead of just politely asking us to wait. Awful woman. We paid almost 80 euros for beach chair, towels and umbrellas to be ignored the whole time. Ridiculous. Shame on you. GO TO ANOTHER BEACH CLUB.

I had a nice lunch here with my friends. My poke bowl was very good with lots of different components and fresh salmon. It was a nice portion and very filling. I had a good bellini as well. The restaurant is outside under a terrace with a view of the ocean. There are also beach chairs to rent, and you can order food from there. Our waiter was nice and we had no issues with service. My only complaint is that the food and drinks were pretty expensive, but you're paying for the ambiance. I recommend for a relaxing lunch with fresh food and an ocean view.

Shortly after in Nice, decided to grab some lunch and of course I wanted to eat as close to the beach as possible. Ruhl Plage is right on the Promenade de Anglais and on the beach. It is both a restaurant as well as a place where one can rent a beach chair/umbrella for the day. As I was having a late lunch, I was able to get a table beachside which was perfect as there was a nice breeze and plenty of shade. For lunch I had the chicken Caesar salad which was filled with tender grilled chicken, fresh romaine lettuce and cherry tomatoes. While this particular Caesar didn't come with anchovies, the dressing was nice...not too heavy and they didn't bathe the salad in dressing. To accompany my salad, I had the house white wine which was a Chardonnay. In addition, they served rather tasty rolls and crisps along with the wine. While the service was a bit slow (it took 5 minutes to get a menu and another 5 to order), the view and quality of the food make up for it. I would certainly return for a nice, casual Oceanside lunch.

Fantastic location on the beach. Perfect Côte d'Azur vibe with a nice menu & good music. A vacation from your vacation...bring sunscreen & have your favorite drink brought to your lounge chair.

We were staying at Le Meridien and was told that this beach club was recommended because they are known to treat guests well, especially patrons of the hotel. We were able to secure 2 beds at the front with an incredible unobstructed water view. Staff proved to be helpful during the reservation process. However, once we arrived and situated ourselves at 10:30 am no server approached us for the hour we were there. We decided to eat lunch at their restaurant and we're seated promptly. However, once again waited 30 minutes until being approached by a server. There were several servers walking around aimlessly and conducting team meetings in our presence during the time. Furthermore, there were only 2 tables seated in the restaurant including ours. When the server arrived, he apologized communicating that he was preoccupied with other work related responsibilities. We were finally served and the food was good, but not great. At the conclusion, we inquired about the lack of service at our beach bed and the waiter assured us that he had notified our beach server of our presence and that he would come find us after returning to our seats. Once again, we waited with no server in site. I finally flagged him down as he was taking another group's order so that we could order some drinks. Unfortunately throughout the course of the day this was a recurring theme. I understand that service oriented industries are struggling with staffing, but if you are going to charge a premium for the experience then the expectations need to match. Their seemed to be an abundance of staff for the volume of patrons since it wasn't particularly busy. Safe to say that compared to other beach clubs this place doesn't even come close. I also fault the Le Meridien for continuing to recommend a place, that based on recent reviews, continues to underperform.

One of my favorite places to hang out when I an in Nice. I get myself a chair and relax on the beach all day and walk up to the table I have reserved in advance for lunch....always one closest to the ocean. The waiters are always very nice. Its not a spectacular looking place as its outside and not so fancy but the food is always super fresh and tasty.

Excellent food. Good but not too quick service. Fantastic view of the ocean, including sun chairs.

Not worth the money. The food was meh, the loungers were too close together, and the service was terrible. My server was nice but I noticed others being treated very rudely. Additionally, it took 20 minutes to place an order, as so few staff on the beach actually take them. Most of the staff essentially say taking orders is "not their problem," and it seems the entirety of their jobs is standing on the beach and doing nothing. I get that the plage privees are all overpriced, but if I'm going to be spending hundreds of dollars, I want bang for my buck, not mediocre food and terrible service. Le Voilier Plage and Castel Plage are much nicer, take your business there.

Nice staff and really fresh and delicious food. But I was there in the middle of high season and the saltwater kiddie pool they advertise doesn't exist, so if you're making plans based on that you're out of luck.
