This restaurant prides themselves on using all natural ingredients in their cooking. The dining room is located in the basement of the restaurant that felt like we were eating in a wine cellar - nicely decorated and well appointed. The food was delicious - my wife especially liked their Foie Gras. As their restaurant name implies - most if not... More

We had a wonderful time at this restaurant. The food was great and the atmosphere was fantastic. Very quaint and romantic. Loved every minute of it.

Finally, I got to eat at this lovely restaurant. It is so intimate it is almost a shame not to be with a loved one or conducting an illicit affaire. It is in the basement, in what appears to be an old wine cellar, with hidden alcoves & nooks & crannies, all candlelit & cosy. Truly, the atmosphere is worth... More

My wife and I decided to book a dinner here because of favorable Tripadvisor reviews. The restaurant has no web site, so I contacted Tripadvisor members who had posted reviews to see if they had contact information. Two people very generously obtained an email address for the restaurant and sent it to me. On March 22, I sent an email... More

We'd heard about this restaurant from Rick Steve's. Calling for a reservation, the restaurant was full for the first night, but was available for the next. The person on the phone asked me if I would mind if he spoke English! (I think he was trying to avoid my bad French). What a terrific surprise this restaurant was. With a... More

Cheese, great cheese, and even better cheese. It's in an old cellar and nearly impossible to find. We used the GPS in our iPhones but it was worth the data bill. The waiter was great and had good suggestions, except for the wine. He did have a propensity to talk much faster than we could listen, even when we gave... More

This is a restaurant with a real difference. Located in the old part of Nice, the restaurant is situated within a wine cellar and specialises in cheese dishes, accompanying either meats, vegetables or both. The owner explained each of the dishes on the menu and we really enjoyed trying some different combinations. Our choice of wine was taken straight from... More

This is unbelievable! We had walked past and thought the restaurant was tiny and no one was in. We then looked it up on Trip Advisor and thought we'd give it a go thanks to the rave reviews. We were very lucky to get a table. The cellar is fantastic, the service first rate and the food is to die... More

Don't be fooled by the funny little alley in Old Town of Nice! This Cheese Bistro offers excellent dishes and yes, you should make a reservation ahead of time. The service is handled by a very passionate guy, who happily will try to explain to you the dishes in English and will recommend the right wine. Trust him - you... More
