Le Speakeasy

We entered and were greeted by a snappy woman who wanted to make sure we left by 3p (we arrived at 215p). The meal was great, but the tarts we not.
The food is comfort food and delicious.

I had a delicious, fresh, and filling lunch here today. The hours are wrong. She is open for lunch as well, at least until the food runs out. I had a wonderful vegetable tart with fresh salad and miso soup. Sat at the communal table with a nice group of travelers and regulars. Service is friendly and everything is vegan. No reason to post a picture since mine looks the same as the other photos.

After a week of really good Italian food (yes, it’s France), I was ready for a change. Fresh! Organic!

Trying to find good vegetarian food in a city that loves meat is very challenging. This restaurant is small, charming, and makes you feel like you are a guest in someone’s home and they are preparing you a homemade meal. As stated, the menu changes daily. I was lucky to have the potato and sweet potato pie accompanied by a side salad with avocado, olives and tomato. I also tired the vegetable pâté as a starter, also very good! If you are looking for vegetarian/​vegan friendly food this is THE ONLY PLACE in Nice! The owner/​chef was very kind and friendly (and speaks perfect English– formerly from the U.S.!) Lovely experience and fanatic home-​cooked food! Just go. Even if you are not a vegetarian/​vegan you should try it!

Centrally located near Nice etoile /​ave. Jean-​Médecin. Small but very cosy and charming. There are pro-​animal/​vegetarian quotes written all over the walls. Limited menu but large portions. The food is not amazing but it is good, satisfying and inexpensively priced. The service from the owner was tops.

j’ai testé ce soir ce restaurant emblématique de la cuisine vegan à Nice.
Le cadre est intime, pas de déco tendance, ni de chichi dans les assiettes. La priorité de la propriétaire, c’est la qualité des produits et des plats végétaliens, et l’échange avec les clients.
C’est frais, sain et bon. On en ressort à la fois léger et rassasié, un bel exploit! Et en plus, c’est une belle rencontre

One of a kind. I’ve been to a lot of vegetarian and vegan restaurants around the world but this place is truly unique. Located a quiet corner of rue Lamartine this restaurant will not fail to surprise and delight you with its unique flair and its genuine and soulful Vegan specialties. Not a single wrong note in my meal at this place, great organic red wine, delicious vegetable pâté’, crispy fresh salad, outstanding potato and leek gâteau, light and tasty dessert.
This restaurant is a true gem.

I have been spoiled by excellent vegan fare on the west coast of the United States of America (where Le Speakeasy might rate closer to a 2 or 3 stars). Run by a friendly California ex-​pat, the food at Le Speakeasy was a little less innovative than what I’ve become accustomed to, but this place is still a gem to find over in this part of the world. And you will have to work hard to find it. Blink and you’ll miss it down this side street behind Nice Etoile. We just about gave up figuring we’d been teased by outdated information but decided to double back. Our (minimal) efforts were rewarded by a very intimate setting (only 3 tables — one 2-​top, one 4-​top, and one 6-​seater), a hospitable and English-​speaking host, and an overall lovely night.
Daily changing set menu including appetizer, entrée, and dessert for a very reasonable price. It is a lot of food, so we ordered a menu and an entrée, sharing the appetizer and dessert, and also enjoyed some very delicious organic Merlot (which is very different from California Merlot in that it is actually very good. I know you are skeptical; I was just as surprised as you are. Stop judging.) We started with the veggie pâté which had great flavor but was a textural nightmare for me. We both ordered the potato and courgette pie with vegan/​gluten-​free crust (I no longer recall the alternative entrée that night). It had a lot of potential but was fairly bland. Dessert was an apple something-​or-​other, and I don’t know where we found room for it, but it was worth it.
The hours of operation here are limited, only open for a couple hours for lunch and a couple for dinner (19:00−21:30 or so), closed on Sundays I believe. As mentioned, the restaurant is very cozy, and I would think that during peak months you would do well to call ahead with a reservation. Interesting quotes by fellow vegans/​vegetarians/​animal lovers written on the walls will keep you engaged if your dinner date doesn’t. I could have done without the animal rights propaganda staring me down during dinner, but as they say in France: C’est la vie.

On appréciera la simplicité et l’authenticité de l’accueil de la patronne.
Un VRAI restaurant où l’on se restaure !
On en repart véritablement rechargé, ressourcé, repus et léger à la fois.
Si vous recherchez les chichis, vous risqueriez d’être déçus.

Végétalien et bon pour tous
Déjà, quelle joie de voir un restaurant végétalien, dans le centre ville de Nice qui plus est ! Je suis allée manger dans ce restaurant au printemps 2009 avec mon ami qui est omnivore (je suis végétalienne) et nous avons tous les deux été rassasiés et ravis pour un prix tout à fait correct. En effet les plats sont copieux et bons, sans pour autant être lourds. Cependant on pourrait reprocher un léger manqué de finesse et une présentation laissant parfois un peu a désirer. La maîtresse des lieux prend le temps d’expliquer sa carte et est à l’écoute des clients. Ce qui est spécial dans ce restaurant c’est le côté «familial», on a l’impression d’être chez quelqu’un, il n’y a pas ce côté impersonnel «lounge» qui est si à la mode, bon après on aime ou pas ce genre d’ambiance ! En tous cas, au Speakeasy, tout végétalien sera ravi d’avoir ENFIN le choix dans un restaurant et les autres auront l’occasion de découvrir une nouvelle cuisine !

Speak easy, chez Jane
C’est petit, mais super convivial, on s’asseoit là où il y a de la place, et ainsi on peut faire connaissance avec ses voisins de table. C’est tres bon, copieux ! frais (marché du jour) bio et végétarien et vraiment raisonnable ! Jane, américaine, est une fervente défenseure de la cause animale. Elle fait tout elle même, le service, la cuisine, et son efficacité n’a d’égal que sa gentillesse.

Speakeasy ! Génialissime
Super !! même pour les carnivores, ça vaut le détour ! L’accueil est génial, les prix tout petits, le choix varié et original ! Je vous conseille vivement le paté végétal et la glacé à la banane, des classiques revisités superbement !!

Incontournable cuisine bio ! Végétarien
Pour ceux qui aiment la cuisine végétarienne. Pour ceux qui aiment la convivialité. Pour ceux qui aiment les univers atypiques. Jeanne, la maitresse des lieux vous invitent à découvrir une autre manière de manger sans aucune graisse animale. Tofu, jus de carotte, gratin, légumes… With an american touch !
