Flunch - Nice

Very confusing set up, meal deals, etc. but the food was lovely once we got sorted and very reasonable too.

Had lunch here on a sunny midweek in October. Steak hache XL, with as much of a selection of rice, chips, haricot vert, ratatouille, etc as you like with a glass of wine and coffee for less than €10. Choice of mains such as 1/4 chicken, rump steak, cassoulet. The concept is easy, self service: pick your tray with cutlery, and drinks and desert if required; head to cash register, tell them the mains you desire, pay, you’ll get a ticket for which you go to the relevant counter and they give you the chicken, or perhaps the grill area where they’ll cook your steak, then help yourself to as much of the accompaniments as desired. There’s plenty of seating, some outside, and coffee is from a machine but it’s good. Adequate toilets on site. There’s a L’Eclerc supermarket just beside Flunch, so everything you might want is at your disposal. On this occasion, don’t think my XL was XL, seemed much smaller than before, but still good value. They also have good choice of soft drinks and beers including Belgian for good prices. Lots of free parking in the multi storey car park facing.

As Flunchs go, this one is well run and clean. I i visited in may, and found the staff friendly, and the food pretty good, tasty and fresh. It's a self service place for straight forward food at reasonable prices. For instance, the main meal is from around €7 to around €10, which can range from burger, steak hache, duck breast, paella, 1/2 chicken, entrecôte etc- you pay at the till for what you want, hand the receipt to the guy at the grill, he hands you, or cooks for you, your required meat, then you help yourself to as much potato, chips, rice, pasta and assorted veg as you wish. There are some seats outside also. There's a big car park here to accommodate the L'Eclerc hypermarket in this centre commerciale. Coffee is about a euro, and a quart pichet of wine is less than €3. If you don't have a car, the Lignes d'Azur bus no 11 goes there from Nice. In the morning it goes from near the Lycee opposite La Vielle Ville to the shopping centre but during the day only goes from near Carras bus stop which is close to airport. You can also just get coffee and or juices croissants etc from their cafe counter. Very good value.

Not much choice, I feel that in 20 years the card has not evolved.

Always eat well and there is a wide variety of dish, but it's still a little expensive that I put 4 stars for her.
