Why Travelers Love La Rotonde
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
The restaurant is very nice and cute. The food was amazing — everything we tried was delicious. The Steve Molinari fish soup was one of the best dishes we’ve ever had. The portions are generous: we ordered one tasting menu and, for the other person, a starter and a main dish — and we both ended up full. The staff was very friendly and professional. We’ll definitely be coming back. We celebrated my birthday at this restaurant, and it was an unforgettable experience! The food was high class – every dish was absolutely delicious, and the starter was the best we’ve ever had. Everything was cooked to perfection and full of amazing flavors. A special mention goes to our waiter, Jeremy – such a heartfelt, kind, and genuine person. His warmth and professionalism made the evening even more special. We would honestly come back just because of him. Thank you to the entire team for making my birthday so memorable! 🤗 This is a not miss restaurant in Nice! The staff are just next level amazing and everyone was so helpful for my dairy and gluten allergy. They brought our gluten free bread and even made me a special dessert. Highly recommend!

Our server Emelie (I hope that’s right) was fabulous! We had a great night. We are from Germany and can’t speak French but we we were all working together to make it work. Thank you Emelie! Food was phantastic. Unfortunately, we didn’t like the drinks very much though they were well crafted but I wish there was one or two more classics on the menu like a proper Daiquiri, a Gimlet or anything like that cause I think it’s perfect for a hot night at the French Riviera. Great evening, absolutely recommend!

Avocado tartar 3/5 stars - the chef mix the soft and unriped hard avocado so I think that’s not so professional for this top famous hotel Fish soup- 4/5 stars. Their signature dish but I had much better fish soup. Their coutons were very hard and soup was a bit too salty. View was nice but can’t say amazing because you see the streets and the cars
