Looking for great bouillabaisse in Nice.
Would welcome any suggestions as we are in Nice for the week.
Thanks.

Alanhros: Could you kindly share on this board where you had bouillabaisse in Nice? Thank you.

Several years back we had a wonderful meal including Bouillabaisse at L'Ane Rouge on the port in Nice. I just checked and they still have Bouillabaisse on the menu but it must be ordered in advance. Here is their web site http://www.anerougenice.com/

There have been several threads on this. For the best, drive or take the train to Golfe Juan and go to Tétou.

Thanks! but I am looking for Nice, not the surrounding areas.

Bouillabaisse is NOT a nicois dish. It is from Marseille and the surrounding area. Therefore, there is no "best", nor "great" bouillabaisse in this area. You would do better with a good Soupe de Poissons, or some Nicois cuisine.

Les Viviers is one of the best restaurants in Nice for seafood.

Bouillabaisse is indeed not from Nice but there is still good Bouillabaisse in Nice, since I had some last night. Thanks for the Les Viviers suggestion, I will check it out if I have time.

I'm sure the bouillabaisse is good here, and the location overlooking the sea and the easy parking are all very appealing - but how about 160 euros per person for the experience - and this is the version w/o lobster..for that 200 euros pp.
