A great find in central Nice with tons of rugby fans: Restaurant Comptoir du Marché (18. June 2022)
If you don’t book in advance, it is often quite tricky to find a place – and that was the case in Nice that Saturday for a late lunch as well. Luckily, after having tried four different places which were either booked out or closed, we finally encountered the Comptoir du Marché which was almost full but still had one table left big enough to host our group. The rest of the restaurant was filled with rugby fans, making it a quite noisy experience – but also a fun one.
Although it was loud, noisy, and intense in terms of atmosphere, the waitress was outstanding. Super friendly, super attentive, mega swift – perfect service. And the dishes were good too. I went for the “carpaccio de ‘Seriole Harachi’, crumble de guanciale, broccoli” (EUR 13.00) as a starter which looked tiny, but turned out not to be that tiny, and was actually great in terms of flavour profile. Absolutely loved it.
The “joue de boeuf, ravioli citron et ricotta” (EUR 20.00) was a dish which made you feel homey. Good, tasty, but nothing mind-blowing in terms of combination of flavours. But it would make you feel like a dish your grandma would cook – absolutely great.
The Restaurant Comptoir du Marché is a great place – full of atmosphere, exquisite service, and tasty dishes, for a very fair price. Definitely worth visiting when you’re in Nice.

I was in touch with food since my early childhood (as my father is a former chef). Whenever I can, I travel the world to discover new places, to meet people but mostly to try local dishes and to find hidden gems!
