It's a tiny new (opened May 2009) good-looking restaurant/take-away by Place Rossetti offering simply five types of roasted meats, with a choice of either mash, roast potatoes or ratatouille on the side - eat in and you get a mesclun salad included in the price.

We've tried the beef, which is served French-style rare, and lamb so far and they were both delicious: seriously good value at 11euro each. After sharing one generous take-out serving of lamb between two at our apartment rental we were so impressed we went back to dine in the next day.

It's a brilliant concept and a very welcome addition (for carnivores at least) to the Vieille Ville's restaurant scene. Go early if you want the half chicken - or the window seat!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/23292 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/21987 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/21987 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20555
The place is great and the decor is superb. The floor staff (Igor and JP) is the same as at the former address. They do speak English
fluently which is a great help if yours is basic.

The food is simple and yet full of flavours, taste and colour. The service is excellent and the desserts are... out of this world.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20555 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19614 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19614 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18670
The moustachioed owner is friendly and chatty - go a second time and chances are he'll remember you.

To get a real taste of classic Nice food go for the assiette Nicoise. It gives you all the classics on one plate: stuffed vegetables, courgette flowers, sardines etc.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18670 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17595
It is quite small and cosy with some tables outside. It's always busy and we'd highly recommend booking a few days before (we had to try three times before we got a table). It is a much better experience than the tourist trap of the Cours Saleya, and just two streets back.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17595 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/15423 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/15423 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11506
Oysters were not previously palatable for both my wife and I, but this experience was to die for.

We have not stopped eating them since! So now we are all zinced up and with a few of the shampoo bubbles we have been lifted to a new way of life.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11506
