My wife and I had 3 course lunch because we could not get booked in at night due to restaurant being fully booked for full week, I had vegetable soup starter and my wife goats cheese and both were delicious, We both had lamb for main course and it would have melted in your mouth. For dessert had peaches in... More

We would love to keep this gem for ourselves. Not quite sure i would call it à childrens though. A brilliant atmosphere for couples.

I loved this little restaurant so much we went back the Sunday evening, just to try the rest on the menu, but it was unfortunately closed. This was the Sunday evening of Easter, so we knew there was a chance of it not being open. The menu is written on a black board, which was only 15 or 16 Euro... More

Arrived just as it opened and were seated promptly in what felt like a set in a french film.It was fully booked and we had a young couple from Nice seated next to us which was great as by the end of the evening we had swapped details and hope to see them again one day. Drinks were served swiftly... More

Chez Palmyre offers a limited menu at amazing value - 15 euros for a 3 course meal in the Old Town, and very reasonably priced wines. The food is good without being outstanding. My Choux Farci (cabbage stuffed with shredded pork and beef) was very tasty and quite rich - it could have done with some potatoes or rice to... More

I loved this place. I was getting a little bored with the same old fare that most of the eateries churn out in Nice. You can only eat so much daube and over cooked petit farci at rip off prices. This place however is lovely, service is spot on and the food creative and tasty. Recommend

My husband and I stumbled upon this little restaurant while in Nice last weekend. We were a bit early for the lunch crowd so we just walked in and were given 2 seats at a table near the door. Over the next half hour the place filled with locals. We enjoyed a wonderful, leisurely, quiet winter lunch. Simple, but with... More
