Staff super attentive and present. food is really overpriced but quality is good. the only negative was seeing a small dog run around the restaurant including in the kitchen....for me unacceptable on hygiene level. also having a tablecloths instead of eating directly on wooden table would have been appreciated

I experienced kind and attentive service. I sat at an outdoor table with a wonderful ambiance. The dishes made me feel like I was having a fine dining experience. The main server recommended a local house wine, and it was also good. You should trust her recommendations.

I sat outside in a beautiful night across the street from another restaurant that had piano playing. How delightful. The service was impeccable as was the food. A wonderful experience.

Nice atmosphere , a classic and elegant dining room . We’ve visited this restaurant before , both when the former chef and the previous chef were working. The entrées tonight ( paté and burrata respectively) tasted good .4 p. For main course we took Royal Dove . The dove was cooked perfect. The dish was not enough balanced in salt sour sweet bitter, structure and colours . We think that the endives were too prominent and soft. We would hade liked more crisp and a some more fruity companion. 3,5 p Service -good . 4,5 points. We appreciated also the company of the restaurants dog! 4 points in total.

Twas once my favourite restaurant in Nice. Today, it’s a tourist trap - the new faces that wait the tables don’t really understand the menu let alone give the right recommendations. I ended up with 2 starters and left the restaurant still hungry and disappointed. portion and quality of food has declined vs past visits. Maybe Twas 1 unfortunate visit vs 11 good ones, 🤷🏻‍♀️

My wife and I returned to Franchin in May -24, after a wonderful experience last year. Both the kitchen and the waiters delivered the same high level this year too. The ambience is classic French and embracing. We enjoyed every minute.

We booked this restaurant 20 minutes before we arrived via The Fork as the heavens had opened! What a result! We have been in France for 10 days now and this has been our best experience to date! Fantastic food, service and the most beautiful environment. Fantastic lunch, would highly recommend.

First of all, the staff denied that they get the changes from 2 to 4 persons and we have had real hard discussion about that. They ask us to go to next restaurant! Finally they organized our table. The restaurant well decorated, but a little bit noisy, and air conditioning was not working properly (too hot). The fish (sea bass) is over, so we took octopus (recommended), blue crab salad (too many mayonnaise) and vegetable salad with burrito. Final score- a little bit above moderate.

The service and ambience was good. The food quality and taste was okay but below my expectation especially thinking of the price. Expensive than the quality of food and no glass wine.

Excellent little restaurant - fantastic food, superb service, and a great friendly atmosphere. Very rare to get this level of food without being overly fussy / stuck up. The restaurant’s jack russel Sky running around is a testament to that. 10/10 will definitely visit again.

You couldn’t beat this lovely place! Warmly welcomed, table chosen, menus given, specials explained and all in the first five minutes so after that we could truly relax and enjoy the atmosphere. Our food choices came and at the first mouthful it was obvious there was a genius in charge. He was also front of house and the owner! Somehow, even with a sick waiter, the Boss calmly made sure everyone enjoyed the food and drinks. We can’t recommend this place more highly.

We took a friend and reserved a table for 7 pm. Despite notifying them it’s for a BD dinner, they put us at to a table near the door, drafty and without a table cloth like all other ones and the restaurant was not even half full. Waited over 40 min to place an order and grocery store-bought quality baguette with no olive oil. Then had to wait another 45 min for the food to arrive. The pork chop and beef/lamb kabob were ok but the beef cheek was quite disappointing - greasy, looked not freshly prepared and a sauce of quite poor quality, obviously not with red wine! The best thing was the crepe Suzette! For what they charge, it was very disappointing. Don’t know how they got such good reviews. .
