Le Petit Niçois

Le Petit Niçois restaurant shines a light for southern French cooking next door to the magnificent open space of Esplanade des Invalides in Paris 7th. Here, newcomers merge with a faithful crowd of regulars for the chance to bask in the old-fashioned charm of this historic vaulted room in which colourful frescos of Nice combined with the owners’ joie de vivre evoke a palpable conviviality. You might almost feel you were on holiday in the Mediterranean. You can’t go to Le Petit Niçois without trying the bouillabaisse, the highlight of a memorable choice of simple, authentic fish-based Provencal dishes prepared with true passion and skill.
