Traveler reviews
Daan De Vos
★★★★★5 years agoIt is one of my favo restaurants in Nice. Its a Spanisch restaurant and the good is perfect. The service is a 10/10.
David P
★★★★★8 years agoNot really sure of the history or context, but interesting nonetheless. In comparison to all the other art in Nice and in France more generally, it's not as impressive as some of the more beautiful works of art.
