Fodor's Review:

In a fine old residential neighborhood between the waterfront and the train station, this peculiar little white cube of a restaurant may not look appealing from the outside, but its shape creates a pretty rooftop terrace and a closed terrace, quiet oases where you can enjoy a hearty meal à la Provençal. Specialites include fresh sea bass steamed with mushrooms and braised fowl with potato galettes, all prepared by local chef David Faure.

The first year in Nice we went to their Sister Restraunt in the old city and had the "chefs choice" menu. The 2nd time the sister restraunt had become a bistro but they sent us here to get our dinner. David was still the chef and it was delicious.
Once again we got the "chef choice" but this time I told them I did not like anise, and my DH added that I loved mushrooms. Every dish but dessert came with shrooms. The main course was a split lobster with golden chantrells and a butter sauce. To die for.
That was the only part of the meal where we each had the same thing. We each got diffeerent apps, different soups and beautiful desserts. I think it was a 6 course meal, and everything was prepared immediatly before serving. It was not cheap, but I wouldn't go back to Nice without a night here.
