Our 10 Favorite Restaurants in Nice, France 🇫🇷 (Local Picks)

Planning where to eat in Nice, France? In this video, we’re sharing 10 of our personal favorite restaurants — from hidden local gems to scenic terraces and cozy bistros — all places we genuinely love and return to again and again.
🍽️ Featuring a mix of local favorites like La Merenda, Le Canon, Bistrot de Jan, Le Saint-Paul, and a few delicious surprises right in the heart of Old Nice.
We mix seaside lunches, Old Town rooftops, tiny family-run kitchens, and a few more refined spots that are still completely relaxed. These are not fine-dining showcases or tourist checklists — just really good food in places we enjoy as locals on the Côte d’Azur.
Some are surprisingly unknown.
Some sit right in busy areas and are far better than you’d expect.
And all of them are worth your time (and appetite).
