We thoroughly enjoyed the delicious tapas, with each dish full of flavor. The service was quick and friendly, and it was a pleasure to sit outside, soaking in the warm Mediterranean breeze. Every item we tried was tasty and satisfying.
We had a lovely meal here. The service was great and food really tasty. Everyone in our group had something to choose. We finished the night with Chartreuse and a wonderful conversation about its history. Would recommend.
Brilliant Tapas place. The food was delicious, our highlights were the duck and foccacia along with the chocolate desert, however, we enjoyed everything we ordered! The service was also great! We booked a table for 7.30 and within 20 minutes the place was packed so would advise booking!
It was a really delicious tapas place. The food came out pretty quickly, and the service and atmosphere were good. The oysters were especially delicious. I can't forget their fresh taste. Each dish was full of care. I wanted to order and taste them all. :) The beef steak was so tender that it melted in my mouth. I also liked that they changed the wine glasses every time. It's a place worth visiting. You should definitely go.
Even in the heavy summer heat of the Côte d’Azur, this place was a delight from start to finish. We decided to truly indulge — a bottle of wine and, quite literally, one of everything that tempted us on the menu. By the end, the bill came to €175. Yes, it’s on the pricier side for Nice, but compared to Monaco, it feels almost modest — and the quality here more than earns it. Each dish was beautifully prepared, full of fresh, vibrant flavors, and served with the kind of attentive hospitality that makes you feel like a welcome guest, not just another table. If I’m being completely honest, the portion sizes could be a touch more generous — especially for someone with a healthy appetite. Still, the presentation, taste, and overall experience made every bite worth it. A perfect spot for those who appreciate quality over quantity, and for anyone looking to enjoy the elegance of the Riviera without crossing into Monaco-level prices.
Loved everything about it!!! Very nice interior, great menu, good veggie options, food was yummy and great cocktail menu too! Would absolutely recommend! Best to book a table online in evening!
The croquettes were amazing, one of the best ones I have ever eaten, super creamy. Brie with truffle was pretty good as well. We also had the sea bream ceviche which was very fresh and not fishy at all. The sirloin was a disappointment, rather tasteless.
