Small restaurant full of charm, nice location, with very good food and a different menu, great wine and very nice staff.

Visited for my 30th birthday, tried to go last night but it was fully booked with queues so booked for this evening instead. Table booked for 7pm, Well we arrived at 6.54 to which the waiter told us they weren’t open for another 15 mins even though we had booked for 7pm. We walked around nice arrived back after 7pm were seated by around 7.10pm. The menu sounded good, a lovely typical French restaurant, perfect for what I was looking for for my birthday. Especially with all the brilliant reviews from online. We ordered a carafe of wine, and a bottle of still water. We chose mussels, egg parfait beef pate the pate was a little like a pork pie and had burnt bits in it, the egg parfait was nice not what we were expecting but that could be due to translation, runny yolk the mussels were in presented in an almost olive oil water they really lacked in flavour. We had eaten mussels in the square the day before which had more flavour. For main we had two chefs risotto, duck with dauphinois I decided to have two starters as main the tuna tartare mussels. The risotto was good, with a fresh lemon running though it but nothing special. The duck lacked salt massively but the dauphinoise was nice. The mussels again we tasteless however the tuna tartare was delicious what I had hoped the whole meal would have tasted like. It was very fresh packed full of flavour. We paid the bill and we’re in and ate two courses within an hour of sitting down. no exaggeration. The bill was €171 we enjoyed a far better dinner at Type 55 (down the road) 3 courses with a bottle of wine for the same price. Very disappointing, not what I expected from a Michelin recommendation all the recommendations online. A real shame being our last night in nice.

I loved this petite place. Very quaintly situated in its own little corner of old Nice. The staff are relaxed and delightful. The menu is varied but authentic and contains dishes you don't come across often e.g. Beef tongue casserole We were well looked after and really enjoyed our meal. It is a little hard to find but well worth the effort.
