Flaveur or Bistro Gourmand in Nice

[Nancy S.]

We're spending a couple days in Nice and are trying to decide between Flaveur and Bistro Gourmand for dinner -- most nights I plan on buying fish and produce at the local market (plus cheese and wine at the shops mentioned on this board). Although there are a lot of positive comments on Flaveur, I'm not especially loving the menu on their site. I love modern cooking with impeccable ingredients, especially fish and vegetables, but prepared in a somewhat classical approach (in terms of flavor combinations). The menu at Bistro Gourmand appeals to me, but I haven't read much in terms of reviews. I would be grateful for advice.

They are both enjoyable; if you can't get a reservation at Flaveur, Le Bistro Gourmand will be a fine substitute. Why not go to both? They are reasonably priced.

Thanks. It's not a question of cost -- I'm very much looking forward to cooking with local fish and produce, instead of restaurant dinners.

Just like me on holiday

Never been to Bistro Gourmand and have only been to Nice twice so I am no expert, but Flaveur was hands down our best meal in Nice ever and I'd go back there in a heartbeat. While some of the flavor combinations were different, they were so in a "good" way, meaning that I didn't find them so creative that they felt contrived. Modern cooking with impeccable ingredients is how I'd describe Flaveur, to a T.

Am also a Flaveur fan. It also just gets better and better.
