Bistro Saint Louis

This place has such amazing food! Everything we tried was delicious. The chef/​owner made an incredible dish with the block of parmigiano lite on fire! It appears it’s a family effort and the wife runs the front of the house. Great service. I highly recommend!!!

Everything about this place is phenomenal! The wait staff are very knowledgeable and attentive. The food is some of the best food we have had. After each coarse the chef came out to ask us how it was. It has a great ambiance.

All very tasty and creative dishes (recommend the lamb), warm service, cute interior, and just an all-​around fantastic experience. Will definitely come again next time we are in Nice. On par with a few Michelin star restaurants we’ve been to!

Easily one of the best meals we have had in France. The food was fresh and flavorful. If these two adjectives appeal to you, then this is the place to be! We had the mussels to start — perfectly prepared in a sauce I could almost make a meal of with the bread. Hubby had the filet with truffles; I had the sea bass. Delish! The service was spot on-​the staff could not have been nicer.
Will. Go. Back!

Yum!
This is a cozy little restaurant and it’s known for its delicious food.
Despite hating the idea of foie gras (because it’s super inhumane), we were in France, so I decided that I wouldn’t restrict my diet at all and ordered that as our appetizer. It was a pâté with dried figs and it was amazing. The bread was actually a gingerbread, which was interesting and a really delicious combo. For our second appetizer, we got the burrata with watermelon carpaccio. The watermelon was lightly sweet and extremely fresh and offset the creaminess of the burrata well.
For our mains, we each chose something different. E got the house special pasta, which they made in front of us, basically. There was a huge wheel of cheese with a little nook scooped out and they poured in grappa, set it ablaze, and then scraped a sauce into the cheese. Then, they tossed the pasta in that sauce. It was really fun to watch and even more fun to eat.
I got fresh seared tuna, which was perfectly cooked and tender and delicious. My sister got the tagliatelle pasta with mushrooms, which might have been everyone’s favorite. It was quite good. S got the octopus ragout, which was packed with baby octopus and it was super delicious.
For dessert, we got a pistachio crème brûlée, which was really different and really delicious. I think pistachios are a local crop or something (I might be lying). And, because the waiter liked us for being fun and practicing French, he also brought us some after dinner shots of mango juice with vodka. So delicious.
Service is quick and friendly and everything is delicious. I would definitely recommend this place.

Le plat du jour: Porc noir de Bigorre, jambon grillé et mozzarella accompagnés de spaghettis frais au pesto. Je vous laisse supposer le plaisir de déguster ce plat. 1 verre de vin, 1 café le tout pour moins de 20 €. Le service est attentionné et éfficace. Que demander de 1 petit bémol: Le soir il n’y a plus de menu comme au début mais seulement à la carte. A recommander évidemment.

One word: Incredible.
Easily one of the best meals we had during our 3 week stay in France.
My eggplant tartine appetizer was insanely good. Eggplant, tomatoes, asparagus, Parmesan cheese, pine nuts, and a drizzle of balsamic with a nice dollop of homemade pesto on the side.
I opted for the Burrata, tomato, and pesto pasta for my main course and it was so good I wish I could have finished it all. It was such a generous portion, but I really tried!
Im normally a dessert person. In fact, Ill purposefully save room for it. But for some reason this night I was particularly full and didnt want to stuff myself.
I have to admit though, I think skipping dessert at this place was a big mistake. Everything was SO good and SO impressive Im sure they would have knocked our socks off with dessert.
My husband and I are only half-​kidding when we say we want to take a trip back to Nice just to try their Parmesan pasta (that we saw them making after we ordered) and their dessert offerings.
FYI: they are closed on the weekends. We went on a Friday night… and if they wernt closed on the weekends we would have gone back for round 2 on Saturday night.
Do yourself a favor and come here for dinner.

Restaurant récent sur Nice. Accueil et service chaleureux. Ambiance idéal pour un repas en tête à tête. La carte présente peu de plats, tous aussi tentants. Mélange de saveurs garanti! J’y retournerai sans hésiter! Très bonne expérience.

Belle découverte
Avons profitez de l’offre groupée pour découvrir cet établissement et charmé par l’expérience (cuisine comme le service). A recommander !

Ras
Le chef, le serveur et le cadre sympas. Pour moi, l’assiette n’est pas assez copieuse…

Parfait
Une cuisine de qualité, un service, agréable, des gestes attentionnés, etc. Adresse recommandée, et à goûter au plus vite !

Une agréable surprise
Cherchant à faire découvrir les locaux de l’ancien propriétaire à mes parents (Chez Boni), j’apprends finalement par téléphone que la direction a changé. Le chef m’explique cependant la nouvelle carte proposée, et c’est tout naturellement que je décide de me rendre au Bistro Saint Louis afin de forger mon opinion sur cette toute nouvelle enseigne. Quelle excellente surprise ! La carte, bien qu’un peu limitée pour le moment, a su nous conquérir par sa cuisine authentique, raffinée et délicate. Les vins d’accompagnement correspondent parfaitement avec les mets proposés. Le cadre chaleureux laisse transparaitre un soin tout particuliers accordé à la décoration vraiment soignée. A noter mon coup de cœur pour les publicités d’époque (et d’origine) affichées sur les murs du restaurant, nous berçant d’une certaine nostalgie. L’accueil constitue également l’un des points fort du Bistro à travers son service irréprochable. En un mot: laissez vous tenter vous né le regretterez pas… et votre portefeuille non plus ! Les prix tout à fait abordables né peuvent qu’inciter à y retourner. Félicitation Benjamin !

A déguster
Resto super sympa l’accueil y est chaleureux, le chef prend le temps de discuter de sa passion «la cuisine» et vous donne l’envie d’y goûter. Les plats sont sublimes et le foie gras à tomber. Il faut absolument y aller. Et l’essayer c’est l’adopter.

Excellent
Benjamin Lequeux, chef quadra très talentueux, vient d’ouvrir le Bistro St Louis en lieu et place de l’ex-Boni, au 15 Rue Tonduti de l’Escarèné à Nice. Fervent défenseur des AOC, DOC, IGT et autres produits d’origine véritable, il propose une carte restreinte et délectable, comme ce filet de bœuf du Limousin (comme tout ici), ce pavé de loup frais en croûte d’anchoïade, cette souris d’agneau confite ou encore ce foie gras maison (comme tout ici) et sa compotée de figues et pain d’épice. Au rayon desserts, le dôme de chocolat 64% et sa nage de vanille Bourbon ou la crème brûlée à l’ancienne, rhubarbe rôtie et biscuit cannelle sont un délice. La carte des vins est judicieuse, s’évade facilement de la Provence a prix doux (Bourgogne rouge André Ducal à 25 €, beaux Côtes du Rhôné et Bordelais qui change un peu). Une belle carte de whiskies (à seulement 5 €), une ardoise de marché du jour, un service attentionné (rare), un cadre cosy. Addition correcte. Il faut en profiter, ce genre d’adresse n’est pas si fréquente.
