Selected entries from the current guide for Nice.
Nice, France
Flaveur holds two Michelin stars and a sustained presence on La Liste and Opinionated About Dining, placing it among Nice's most serious creative kitchens. Brothers Mickaël and Gaël Tourteaux run both the kitchen and the front of house from a modest room on Rue Gubernatis, where local Provençal ingredients meet spices drawn from further afield. Service is precise, the format classical, and the cooking consistently committed to measured risk.
Nice, France
Inside the Negresco on Nice's Promenade des Anglais, Le Chantecler carries a Michelin star and a Meilleur Ouvrier de France distinction under chef Virginie Basselot. The kitchen works from a Mediterranean-seasonal framework, sourcing from local artisans to produce modern French cooking with clear Provençal reference points. Dinner runs Wednesday through Sunday, positioning it firmly within Nice's upper tier of fine dining.
Nice, France
ONICE holds a Michelin star and a 2025 ranking among Europe's top 700 restaurants on Opinionated About Dining, placing it firmly within Nice's compact tier of serious modern kitchens. Chefs Florencia Montes and Lorenzo Ragni run the room at 5 Rue Antoine Gautier, where the cooking sits at the sharper end of the Riviera's contemporary dining scene. At €€€€, it competes on ambition rather than occasion-dining convention.
Nice, France
Épicentre holds a Michelin Plate recognition in 2025 and sits at the €€€ tier of Nice's modern cuisine scene, a step below the starred addresses on price and formality but clearly oriented toward technical seriousness. Located at 8 Rue Fodéré in the city's working-class Riquier quarter, it occupies a space where neighbourhood character and contemporary kitchen ambition sit in productive tension.
Nice, France
A 20-seat counter on Rue Lascaris brings South African culinary sensibility into sharp dialogue with Côte d'Azur tradition. Chef Jan Hendrik van der Westhuizen serves a single set menu that moves through sweet-sour contrasts, smoke, acid, and spice, an approach that has earned Michelin recognition and made JAN one of Nice's most closely watched reservation windows.
Nice, France
A Michelin-starred address near Place Masséna, L'Aromate serves modern Mediterranean cuisine from chef Mickaël Gracieux, whose résumé spans Oustau de Baumanière, Plaza Athénée, and Louis XV. The contemporary dining room pairs black, white, and gold interiors with an open kitchen, while the menu draws from local producers and Ligurian markets for ingredients such as San Remo prawns, local green crab, and Niçoise citrus.
Nice, France
A Michelin-starred creative restaurant on Rue Bonaparte in Nice's left-bank quarter, Les Agitateurs has held one star continuously since 2024 under chefs Ron Hsu and Aaron Phillips. The cooking sits outside the Niçoise canon entirely, drawing a reservation-forward crowd willing to commit to a single tasting format at the upper end of the city's price tier.
Nice, France
Pure & V brings a Nordic-inflected neobistro sensibility to Nice's old town, where Finnish chef Pinja Paakkonen's vegetable-forward cooking meets sommelier Vanessa Massé's natural wine focus. The ground-floor dining room runs a produce-driven menu built around fermentation and careful sourcing; upstairs, Pure & Vins offers a simpler evening format. Ranked #549 in Opinionated About Dining's Top Restaurants in Europe for 2024.
Nice, France
At Racines, Bruno Cirino and José Vidal serve a single, bargain-priced set menu built entirely from local organic and sustainably grown vegetables and fruit. The small eatery on Rue Clément Roassal operates Tuesday through Saturday evenings only, with a kitchen garden philosophy that draws on the Mediterranean's core pantry: garlic, olive oil, basil, and produce harvested only at peak ripeness. Booking is recommended.
Nice, France
On a quiet residential street in central Nice, Chez Davia represents the kind of Niçoise cooking that rarely travels far from its neighbourhood.

The price point sits at €€, making it one of the more accessible entries in the city's award-recognised restaurants.
Nice, France
Bistrot d'Antoine sits in Nice's Old Town as one of the Cours Saleya quarter's most consistent addresses for traditional Niçoise and Provençal cooking, earning consecutive Michelin Bib Gourmand recognition in 2024 and 2025. Chef Simon Scott holds the line on technique and sourcing at a price point that sits well below the city's starred tier, making it a reference point for anyone tracking the city's mid-range dining scene.
Nice, France
Two consecutive Michelin Bib Gourmands (2024 and 2025) place L'Alchimie among Nice's most consistent value propositions in modern cuisine.
Nice, France
La Merenda sits at the lower end of Nice's price spectrum yet draws consistent recognition from both Michelin's Bib Gourmand and Opinionated About Dining's European casual list, ranked 68th in 2024, 75th in 2025. Chef Dominique le Stanc runs a strict, cash-only, no-reservation format that puts the food, not the experience machinery, at the centre. The case for eating here is direct: serious Niçoise cooking at a price point that the starred alternatives cannot match.
Nice, France
Olive & Artichaut holds two consecutive Michelin Bib Gourmand awards (2024 and 2025) and sits in Nice's Vieille Ville, where regional Niçoise cooking meets a considered, unhurried approach.

Nice, France
On the Promenade des Anglais, La Rotonde holds consecutive Michelin Plate recognition (2024 and 2025) and a White Star listing on Star Wine List, placing it among Nice's more formally acknowledged Mediterranean tables. A reliable address for classic coastal cooking without the austerity of a tasting-menu format.

Nice, France

Nice, France
A Michelin Plate-recognised address on Rue du Marché, Comptoir du Marché sits inside Nice's densely packed traditional dining tier, mid-price, market-driven, and rooted in the cuisine that defines this corner of the Côte d'Azur.
Nice, France
A Michelin Plate-recognised Italian restaurant on Boulevard Stalingrad, Epiro sits in Nice's mid-price bracket. It holds its own against the city's more formal dining rooms by leaning into the trattoria tradition: direct cooking, neighbourhood warmth, and a format that rewards repeat visits over occasion dining.
Nice, France
A Michelin Plate holder for consecutive years in 2024 and 2025, Fine Gueule sits in the Old Town quarter of Nice at 2 Rue de l'Hôtel de Ville, delivering traditional cuisine at a mid-range price point that is increasingly rare in a city skewing toward destination-dining budgets.
Nice, France
On the eastern arc of Nice's Bord de Mer, La Réserve de Nice holds a Michelin Plate for 2024 and 2025, positioning it in the city's mid-to-upper modern cuisine tier. The address on Boulevard Franck Pilatte places it away from the tourist-heavy Promenade des Anglais, pulling a more local crowd.
Nice, France
Le Bistrot des Docks has held a Michelin Plate in both 2024 and 2025, placing it in the recognised tier of Nice's modern cuisine scene without the premium pricing of its starred neighbours.

Nice, France
Le Canon at 23 Rue Meyerbeer holds consecutive Michelin Plate recognition (2024 and 2025), placing it in Nice's reliable mid-range modern cuisine tier.
Nice, France
On Rue Grimaldi in Nice's Carré d'Or district, Le Séjour Café brings the feel of a private sitting room to the table: bookshelves, framed photographs, trailing plants, and a daily menu anchored in market produce and seasonal discipline. A Michelin Plate holder since 2024, it occupies the €€ tier in a city where market-driven cooking at this price point is harder to find than the guidebooks suggest.
Nice
Selected entries from the current guide for Nice.
Nice, France
Le Negresco is Nice’s grand Riviera hotel for travelers who care about architecture, art, and old-hotel theater as much as sea views. Its Belle Époque shell, 6,000-piece collection, 128 individually designed rooms, Michelin-recognized dining, and 2024 spa place it in a different register from the city’s cleaner-lined beachfront addresses.
Nice, France
A 17th-century convent transformed into one of Nice's most quietly authoritative hotels, Hôtel du Couvent earned the #27 position on the World's 50 Best Hotels list in 2025 and a Gault & Millau Exceptional Hotel distinction the same year. The 88-room Marriott Luxury Collection property trades Riviera flash for cloister calm: Roman baths, a resident herbalist, and garden rooms where the dominant sound is a fig tree in the breeze rather than the Promenade des Anglais.
Nice, France
A five-star address on Avenue de Suède, Maison Albar - Le Victoria sits between the Promenade des Anglais and Place Masséna, carrying a 2025 Gault & Millau Exceptional Hotel distinction and a Regional Luxury Boutique Hotel award. Its 132 rooms and suites, a 650 m² spa, and a rooftop pool with restaurant make it one of Nice's more complete luxury propositions in a competitive field of Riviera five-star properties.
Nice, France
Perched on the cliffs at the eastern end of the Promenade des Anglais, Hôtel La Pérouse occupies among the more geographically privileged positions in Nice. Recognised in La Liste Top Hotels 2026 with 92 points, this boutique property looks out over the Baie des Anges with an intimacy that larger boulevard hotels cannot replicate. It is the kind of address that rewards guests who look past the obvious choices.
Nice, France
A Belle Époque landmark at 12 Avenue de Verdun, Anantara Plaza Nice occupies a building inaugurated in 1848 and completely renovated by David Collins Studio in a contemporary Mediterranean style. The 151 rooms and suites face the Mediterranean Sea or Albert 1er gardens, and the SEEN by Olivier rooftop bar positions the hotel as one of the more scenically advantaged addresses on the Côte d'Azur. Gault & Millau awarded it Exceptional Hotel status in 2025 with five points.
Nice, France
Boscolo Nice sits on Boulevard Victor Hugo in the heart of Nice, holding a 2025 MICHELIN Selected distinction that places it among the city's recognised hotel addresses. The property operates within the Italian-owned Boscolo Hotels group, positioning it in the mid-to-upper tier of Nice's competitive hotel market, between design-led boutique addresses and the grand seafront palaces along the Promenade des Anglais.
Nice, France
A Michelin Selected hotel on the Rue Gounod in Nice's residential Cimiez-adjacent corridor, Gounod Nice offers a quieter entry point into the city without sacrificing proximity to the Promenade des Anglais.
Nice, France
Selected by the Michelin Guide for hotels 2025, Hôtel Amour Nice brings the Parisian Amour brand's studied informality to the Côte d'Azur, occupying a position in Nice's growing field of design-led boutique properties. Located on avenue des Fleurs, it sits at the intersection of neighbourhood character and considered hospitality, offering an alternative to the city's grand palace hotels.
Nice, France
Occupying a listed Art Deco façade at 13 Promenade des Anglais, the Hyatt Regency Nice Palais de la Méditerranée sits where the Baie des Anges meets one of Europe's most storied seafront addresses. Its 187 rooms face either the Mediterranean or the mountains, while Le 3e restaurant serves Maralpine-influenced cuisine from a Gault&Millau two-toque chef. The Clef Verte certification and Clefs d'Or concierge complete a property that operates at the upper end of Nice's five-star tier.
Nice, France
Selected by the Michelin Guide Hotels 2025, L'Abeille - Boutique Apartments occupies a Vieux-Nice address on Rue Bonaparte, placing guests within walking distance of the old town's markets, the Cours Saleya, and the Promenade des Anglais. Compared to Nice's large hotel blocks, this is a smaller-format property whose address does most of the heavy lifting for location convenience.
Nice, France
Le Ponant - Mediterranean belongs to the small-ship end of Mediterranean cruising: a three-masted sailing format, all-inclusive structure, and routes that favor the Greek islands, Croatian coast, or a combination of both. The appeal is architectural as much as nautical, with the vessel’s scale shaping a quieter rhythm than large-ship itineraries can manage.
Nice, France
Mama Shelter Nice brings the brand's signature design-led irreverence to the French Riviera, earning a MICHELIN Selected designation in 2025. Positioned on Boulevard de Riquier, it occupies a different register from Nice's palace hotels, trading grandeur for a knowing, graphic aesthetic that plays better with a certain kind of traveller than polished anonymity ever could.
Nice, France
Le Méridien Nice occupies among the more architecturally significant addresses on the Promenade des Anglais, placing guests at the centre of Nice's seafront theatre. The hotel sits in a competitive tier alongside other promenade-facing properties, offering a position that no amount of interior renovation can replicate. For travellers who want the Riviera's defining boulevard as a constant backdrop, this address makes the case clearly.
Nice, France
The Hôtel Ecole Jeanne et Paul Augier at 163 Boulevard René Cassin operates as Nice's dedicated hotel and tourism training school, where students from the hospitality program run front-of-house and kitchen operations under professional supervision. Positioned in the western residential quarter of Nice, it offers a distinct model where educational purpose and guest service intersect. For travellers curious about the city's hospitality training tradition, it represents an atypical entry point into Nice's accommodation scene.
