"Really excellent food is now available at the Snug and Cellar bar just beside Place Rosetti on Rue Droite in Old Nice. They only use fresh ingredients with no refridgeration and a new menu every singly day. If you want to know where the international locals go to eat, this is the place. "
"One of the first things you should do when you arrive in Nice is to find a copy of the English magazine 'That's Nice'. Once you have that in hand you will have all the up to date information on the coolest eating venues and the best live music venues - something that Nice is becoming famous for.
'That's Nice' magazine is really full of information and an absolute must have."
"We went to Nice for the final of the 6 Nations Rugby championship and because Ireland was in it, we were recommended to go to Ma Nolans in old Nice.
It was really packed with Irish supporters and a few Welsh, and the atmosphere was electric.
The pints of Guinness were flowing fast and we spent a great day there. We also had food, a huge fish and chips and some Calamari, both were good, and perfect pub food for the occasion.
Ireland won the match at the last kick of the game and the emotions ran high in the bar, this was one of our best days on the Rivera, even though it had nothing to do with the South of France, more like the large numbers of friendly Irish who live on the Riviera.
So regarding what to do in Nice, I would definitely go to Ma Nolans when there is any rugby match where Ireland are playing."
"This was a really lovely villa to stay in. Very nice view over Nice city and the hills and sea. The decoration is very unique and interesting and our family liked it very much.
We visited nice centre often which is a lot of fun, full of restaurants and artists. We will be back 100%."
"If you are lucky enough to visit Nice in summer, I can recommend that you take the train ride from Nice through the mountains to Tende and back again. You will just go higher and higher into an almost different world of 100s of year ago. It is completely upspoiled.
The train goes through Peille, L'Escarene, Breil sur Roya and lots of other tiny little mountain towns and villages. The scenery is spectacular and the welcome extremely warm everywhere you go.
You can get off at any stop and explore, then catch a later train either up or down. The Carte Isabelle that you buy at the train station covers your trip for 12 euros for the day.
We went to Tende and had lunch and a few drinks, went to the loacl museum which is all about the Valley Des Merveilles (Marvels) in the Mercantour National Park which is accessed from the town. Brilliant!"
"There are so many restaurants in Nice that it's really hard to choose a good one. The Cour de Saleya is the main tourist area so you kind of feel that you won't be able to find the best or the most authentic Nicoise food here. The competition is so hot though that actually the standard of the food and the quality of the service in Nice is pushing up and up all the time. Le Voglia arrived and with queues out the door each night they have set a new standard of service and dining experience.
Nice is getting chic. The French Riviera has always been known as being 'fabulous' but Nice has always been a little bit rough and ready, not so glamourous and definitely not as 'dressy' but there are some news places opening up that mean you can now actually get dressed up and go out for that 'South of France' experience.
If the queue at Le Voglia is too long then you could try Karré Noir on the Promenade instead. It is quieter but décor is similar in style, clean, modern and chic. The English and French speaking staff are very friendly and the food is modern Mediterranean with an emphasis on presentation.
Karré Noir has the complete night out experience with the new nightclub 'base' operating on Friday and Saturday nights. Music is international hits, R&B, pop and a little bit of disco on occasion. It's a bit different from the usual dark and dingy French clubs which are hard to find and, if you do, you often regret it. It's great to have the choice."
"We tried BienVenue in old Nice and found it to be very modestly priced with very good quality meals. We got to know John the owner who was very helpful an gave us lots of advice on things we should see while we are there. The restaurant is entirely English speaking."
