What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
La P'tite Cocotte offers a charming, intimate atmosphere and a highly praised three-course menu at a good value. While many enjoy the ambiance and dishes like truffle risotto, some reviews mention a lack of clarity regarding extra charges for certain menu items and small main course portions.
"Great taste. Simpel and delicious. The waitress was very nice too.
It’s a very small restaurant. And many drop in guest was rejected at the door. I recommend to order a table regardless how many people you are.
The atmosphere was tradition France but a little to noisy for my taste.
I can happily recommend this place!"
Michael Lindberg
"A charming little restaurant tucked away in a side alley. Both the interior and exterior are nice designed for theold town.
There is no "à la carte" menu. Instead, a set three-course menu is offered. The starter, main course, and dessert were all delicious. Personally, I felt the dishes could have been elevated with a bit more spice variety to create a more rounded flavor profile. The ingredients were fresh, and the drinks were also excellent. The staff was friendly and attentive. A good value for money. It`s ok...
We had a wonderful evening with fantastic food and a lovely atmosphere, perfectly complementing the old town charm of Nice."

Restaurants Open on Sunday and Monday
La P’tite Cocotte Up a tiny side street, is worth the effort to find for their three-course fixed-price menu, lunch or dinner, for 28€ (but roughly half the menu choices cost extra, so the bill can expand rapidly). The ambiance on the terrace is great though, with a view of a historic vine-covered building (which is home to one of my favorite wine bars, btw). Dinner only during the week but they also serve lunch on the weekends, making this a good choice for Sunday lunch or dinner.
