Great restaurants/bars
Unique dining experience
02/02/06
We had a great evening out at
‘Karr’ in Rue Alphonse Karr which is between the
apartment and the pedestrian area. The food is excellent.
If you want a very different and unique dining experience, go to the Brasserie Flo in Rue Sacha Guitry which is just behind the Galeries Lafayette (Ave Jean Medecin). Food is phenomenal and the restaurant is based in an old theatre – the kitchen is actually built on the stage!

Expensive & cheap
26/10/05
A
couple more suggestions for eating out: the restaurant Chanteclor
in the Negresco hotel was expensive but excellent. The hotel is
worth a visit itself with the rather bizarre but beautiful art deco
lobby.
At the other end of the scale, if you want an authentic local experience, you can queue up for a portion of socca (chick pea pancake – local speciality) at the Café Rene in the old town. Very wholesome!

Where to eat
12/09/05
The Quebec – located on the
pedestrian street (Rue de France). Fantastic prices and good food.
Waiters really friendly and appreciate you trying to order in
French.
Ma Nolan’s – Irish bar in the old Nice. Great atmosphere, fantastic English food. English football matches shown. Good bands and free internet access (when working). Like a traditional English/Irish pub. English speaking staff – for when you’re sick of speaking French.
The square around Ma Nolans has loads of other nice restaurants – Spaghetissimo is really, really nice and reasonable. Worth a visit also is the little market selling little gifts and unusual things.

Try Bocaccio's
16/08/05
The best meal we ate was at Bocaccio in
Rue de France. For a nightcap, I recommend you try the Oasis Hotel,
23 Rue de Gounod – lovely courtyard to sit under the night
sky and enjoy your drink and cigar.

Eat in Monaco
20/07/05
For food, we definitely recommend a trip
up to the Palais in Monaco for an evening – there are lots of
little restaurants with great food and great views. Good value for
money.

Recommended restaurant
21/05/05
Restaurants to recommend are ‘La
Maison Bleue’ on Rue Meyerbeer and anything in Rue de
l’Abbaye in the old Nice. If you are keen on some travel for
food, head to Biot (train stop before Antibes).

Great places to eat

There are of course plenty of places to
eat and drink. We liked ‘La Havane’ on Rue de France
– nice Carribean stuff; and also Spuntino Divino in the old
town on the edge of the market place (Cours Saleya).

Try the Karr
27/04/05
As for restaurants we recommend the
‘Karr’ on Rue Alphone Karr (less than 10mins walk from
the apartment) – the food is great and the staff are very
friendly. We also tried the ‘Maison de Marie’ on Rue
Massena – it is more expensive than the ‘Karr’
but is worth it.
Most restaurants provide a set menu option (some times only a lunch time). This is frequently the best way to get value for money and to be sure of fresh ingredients.
