Description: As the saying goes, good things come in small packages, and La Route du Miam restaurant in Nice is no exception. This bijou restaurant, located on the rue Moli��re, has an intimate dining room with an animated and convivial atmosphere and an excellent menu specialising in authentic southwest French cuisine. The staff are well-known for their friendly service and good humour, and the menu at La Route du Miam is produced using fresh local ingredients.

2nd time i eat in this restaurant, and it's still incredible. I've never eat such a tastefull duck meat and fat leaver. I had the feeling to eat like a King. For 35€ you have the best duck, "FoieGras" & top quality Wine , and terrible potatoes, cooked in the fat of the duck. Intense taste and gigantic plate i... More

Try not to fall for the feigned eccentricities and the madcap bonhomie. We had two enormous plates of greasy potatoes with giant slabs of tasteless foie gras with even further foie gras discovered under piles of damp duck. We had a bottle of red wine recommended by the hostess. We hardly touched our food. By way of apology there followed... More

I have been to a lot of nice restaurants all over the world and this place is one of my favorite. They only have five dishes and four of them are duck so if you don't like duck or fois gras then this place might not be for you. The owners are great and my wife and i really enjoyed... More

My wife and I ate here on Saturday night whilst on a weekend break. We had read the great reviews and decided it sounded too good to miss. We were not disappointed the food and service were fantastic. The restaurant is small so make sure you book to avoid missing this great experience. The owner and chef Jean-Michel cooks rustic...

True Gascoigne Cuisine. Gooseliver and duck in enormous portions. Never seen a plate being presented so unattractively. Small restaurant, not appealing. Very limited menu. Do not expect the best restaurant of Nice here. Hosts are friendly, but a bit strange, to say the least. The lady is hyperactive and quite imposing. They use good ingredients, but it's not refined, at... More

I regret not finding this wonderful restaurant closer to the beginning of my trip so I could have gone back more! My meal at La Route du Miam was scrumptious... I STILL dream about it today. The duck was tender and full of flavour and the foie gras was to die for. My mouth is salivating just thinking about it!... More

Looking for a restaurant where you can get a true taste of old France, created with a love that you won't find in your typical fancy hotel restaurant? Then La Route du Miam may be the place for you. It's not for the typical judgemental and snobby tourist. La Route is a tiny "hole in the wall" place where the... More

This restaurant is in its own unique category. As many reviewers have said, it is like having a dinner hosted by your friend family. This devotion is unparallelled. The food: it was as if friends, or grandparents had made it. Home made rustic style. It is pretty much as you can imagine from the pictures and reviews. Not much elegance... More

This restaurant was not bad, but for us it certainly was not as amazing, out-of-this-world, once in lifetime etc etc as all the other reviews say. We were extraordinarily excited about this place, understandably, given the reviews, but upon tasting our meals could not at all understand the rave reviews. The duck breast was fairly tough; the potatoes and mushroom... More

I've never felt so welcome and warm in a restaurant before. GREAT food, GREAT people. You can really feel that the food has been prepared and cooked with nothing but love. I would definitely recommend everyone to go there! No holiday to Nice would be complete without a meal at La Route du Miam. Just make sure you make your... More
