The best bistros in Nice, according to the experts: Le Fooding and Michelin Guide have both weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Café des Musiciens comes out on top.
-
Rank 1. Café des Musiciens
Niçoise Mediterranean Bistro
A short, market-driven menu in Nice's Musicians' Quarter, where the cooking changes with what looked good that morning. This is a neighborhood bistro with Australian roots and a Niçoise soul, earning a Michelin Bib Gourmand for hearty, unfussy plates served by the chef's partner, who runs the room with the ease of someone who genuinely likes being there. Natural wines, affordable lunches, and no dish on the menu that needs an explanation.

Rank 3. Le Bistrot de Jan
Bistro French
Emerald walls, crystal chandeliers, and exposed stone pillars set the mood at this glamorous little bistro tucked next to its Michelin-starred sibling JAN. The menu runs classic French, sole meunière and tarte Tatin, but chef Jan Hendrik, who grew up in South Africa, quietly folds in lentil bobotie and malva pudding alongside vanilla ice cream, which gives the whole thing a cosmopolitan undercurrent that the room, for all its Niçois polish, wears surprisingly lightly.
