A friendly retro bistro in the heart of Old Nice, where Mediterranean market cuisine is savored in a warm, authentic setting.
Nestled at 8 rue du Marché, a stone's throw from the Cours Saleya market, this inspired address inherits an old-bistro spirit with its retro decor, wood panelling, antique lighting and small, convivial tables. The atmosphere evokes a modernized grandma's cooking, faithful to the neighborhood's roots.
The short menu changes regularly according to market arrivals. Current suggestions include calamari a la plancha with artichokes, veal mousse, duck breast or monkfish, homemade purée, and classic desserts with a twist. Each dish is well thought-out, enhanced by a touch of creativity, and prepared with ultra-fresh produce. Value for money is often praised, especially at lunchtime.
The decor is reminiscent of a cozy kitchen, with vintage objects, retro refrigerator doors and an intimate terrace. The welcome is friendly, the service professional and fast. The atmosphere is lively without being noisy, appreciated for its authentic conviviality.
