Chez Palmyre was our choice for the last of our three nights in Nice, and it certainly deserves its high ratings. Once again a short menu - in a small quirky room - but it was a great dining experience with very good food well presented. It's hard to understand how they can charge so little (€15) for the three-course... More

Do yourself a favour and make sure that you make a reservation here one night. It's almost impossible to just walk in, but if you eat here you won't regret it. It's certainly nothing fancy, but it's good traditional Southern French cuisine at super low prices (I think we paid €60 in total for 3 courses each + a nice... More

Great food, 3 courses for a mere E 15. Where can find such great food at such an affordable price. For each course you get a choice of 4 dishes. Even the deserts are fabulously pretty and tasty. Ah yes there is a drawback, need to reserve a month in advance for dinner and 2 weeks for lunch.

This is a good place for young people. Very reasonable price in the center of very touristic place. The foods were good but not special. Book beforehand it was full booked.

Do not miss going here during your visit to Nice. It is very difficult to get reservations, so do so before you leave or as soon as you arrive. The 15euro fixed price menu is delicious. There is a nice variety to choose from and the man serving in the restaurant is so nice. Truly enjoyed our evening. A little... More

This restaurant is exceptionel. The food is authentic and homemade all the way through. Very french - very unamerican. Very little to choose from, but rich in taste and really inexpensive. We had luch and brought 4 teenagers - 3 of them loved it and the spoiled one resented that you had to eat rabbit!

I've been told that we were extremely lucky to just walk in and find a table! And lucky we felt - the extremely tasty three courses did not disappoint. It has a laid back atmosphere: if you arrive as a two be prepared to sit next to another pair on a table of four, which turned into great conversation for... More

After walking past many times and being unable to get a table, I finally walked in just as someone cancelled. So, was it worth the wait? Well, yes and no. Food was good, service attentive , price was right, wine was correctly priced. But it was all over so soon. The kitchen is small and everyone kind of ends up... More

As others have said. Great food, at SUCH a good price. More traditional home-style cooking, rather the same as many others. Limited choice works. Found good company when there last month, just as well, as you're sitting right next to the next table. We were lucky enough to get in on a Monday night, and would have returned later in... More

Yes it is often impossible to get a table and that is a recommendation in itself. We always book weeks in advance and have always thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. As others have said, it is the kind of French cooking that seems almost to have disappeared - more is the pity. The value is exceptional, the ambiance friendly and the location... More
