Nice (F)
A good location for a birthday event – and with decent food, depending on the choice: Restaurant La Villa Massenet (19. July 2025)
My friend was celebrating her birthday here, and we had to pre-select what we wanted to eat, and I’m gonna be blunt. I wish I had chosen something else … in any case, it started with a “sea bream ceviche with leche de tigre, pickled onions, and mint”, which sounds lovely, but somehow it didn’t […]
A lovely place for a swift and delicious lunch: Restaurant Fine Gueule (19. July 2025)
It wasn’t all too easy to find a good rated restaurant, which was open on a Saturday for lunch and had availability – but luckily enough, that was the case with the Fine Gueule. I started with the “sea bream crudo, tomato, tahine” (EUR 17.00), which was definitely a bit different than I had expected, but […]
A decent dining experience for a larger audience: Restaurant L’Antidote (18. July 2025)
Finding a nice restaurant short-notice for a larger group in Nice isn’t really an easy endeavor – but somehow, we managed. The whole thing started with an “gazpacho” as an amuse bouche, which was quite nice and refreshing, and, frankly, also necessary, since it took a while until the rest of the dishes was served. […]
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 […]
Old run-down breakfast place with non-attentive service: Le Colonial Café @ Le Méridien Nice (19. February 2017)
I stayed at the Le Méridien Nice in 2014 and I was not entirely persuaded of the hotel. And well, this time, it started way better as I got upgraded to the Panoramic Junior Suite which is a corner suite and you have a view all over the coast of Nice – which is quite […]
Nice finding in a non-touristic area – French speaking only: Restaurant Le Millésime (18. February 2017)
The Le Millésime is not really a place you would randomly walk into as a tourist as it is not really located in any ‘touristy’ area. However, thanks to TripAdvisor I got aware of the restaurant and booked a table in advance. Highly recommended to do so, especially, given that the restaurant was full this […]
A well-deserved Michelin star in Nice: Restaurant JAN (18. February 2017)
It is three years ago since I have last paid the JAN a visit. Since, the restaurant has received it’s first Michelin star – and I think I can say, it deserves it. While last time the service was not really satisfying, it was much much better this visit. I went for the “Menu Midi” […]
12. October 2014: Brasserie Les Ponchettes
The Brassiere Les Ponchettes is located in the market area of Nice – and the place – while mainly visisted by locals shopping on a Sunday is definitely nothing special. It is absolutely perfect to do some people watching but besides that there is nothing too appealing about it. The waiter is friendly but quite […]
