Why Travelers Love La Cantine
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Supp Poitrine Porc Fume is the pork belly soup and we love it so much. Magret de canard (duck breast) is my personal favourite. The sauce tastes nice and balance and the duck perfectly cooked. TARTARE DE VEAU ET HARENG (beef tarte) is quite good as well. Risotto Petit Epeautre could be better. Saint Jacques is slightly above average. The best dining experience I’ve ever had!! The food was absolutely phenomenal, and the chef is a true food Einstein! The razor clams, marrowbone tartar, and grilled squid were all outstanding. We were way too full to order dessert, but they surprised us with one on the house — and even though we were stuffed, we somehow managed to finish the whole thing. The staff were genuinely warm, funny, and full of charm. A must-visit for anyone coming to Nice! Nice atmosphere. Great service! Good and authentic food. The squid was really well made and had a good texture. Tartar was juicy and flavorful. We also highly recommend their signature dessert

Absolutely amazing food!!! The service was really great as well. When I first saw the menu, I was like hmmmm, that’s a very small menu to order from, and I’m kind of afraid to try most of the stuff for example watermelon soup. So I ordered broccoli, grilled squid and beef tartare. After the broccoli, I was sure that the chef knows what she’s doing, so I decided to order more food to try. Turned out every single dish is amazing!!!! The watermelon soup was great if you’re wondering. We also order two desserts. I have to say, best restaurant in Nice and would definitely come back if I’m in Nice again. We even left some tip for the kitchen crew because the food were so great

We really enjoyed our time here. The dishes were all prepared well and the service was prompt and attentive. We made a reservation last minute so were seated inside; highly recommend making reservation ahead of time to grab a seat on the outdoor patio.
