AU MOULIN ENCHANTÉ

A great find. Worth the walk from the regular haunts. Great traditional food in real restaurant.

Un vrai coup de cœur ! Ce restaurant traditionnel français allie parfaitement authenticité des plats et convivialité hors du commun. On s’y sent comme à la maison, avec un accueil chaleureux et une ambiance sincère. Chaque bouchée respire le fait-maison et le partage. Une adresse à ne surtout pas manquer pour les amateurs de bonne cuisine et de belles rencontres ! Baieta !

Nice is a city which in some of its areas tends to be quite touristic about the food offer, especially in the old town or in other famous spots, where prices are rising beyond any reasonable standard. This restaurant is fairly central (stop "République" of the tramline 1, one after Place Garibaldi), but quite hidden, so that I used TheFork to find it, conveniently 5 minutes walk from my hotel. I have to confirm the most positive feedbacks, the food is delicious, prices are reasonable for a city like Nice (fairly cheap with TheFork discount of 30%), but I like mostly the atmosphere and the service. The only person serving, who I assume is the owner because he acts like a real host, is welcoming guests with exquisite manners and savoir-faire, while about the service is very attentive and careful. The presentation of the dishes is very elegant (I took a look also at what the table next to me ordered) and everything tastes delicious. I expecially liked that the menu is very short - and presented only on blackboards (no paper menu) - which is often an indication of the quality and the freshness of the ingredients. Some extra points for some small kindnesses the restaurant has towards its guests, like the black olives as appetisers, the "digestif" at the end after coffee and the bread, all free of charge. I highly recommend the place, also because I was the only tourist (I speak French but to a limited extent and I can't be confused with a local) while other guests were mainly people living in Nice. Not a touristic spot but an excellent familiar restaurant with a rustical atmosphere and an amazing service.

Cuisine irréprochable avec un excellent filet de loup et un serveur habité et haut en couleur, j'ai passé un très bon moment.

Un grand merci à Damian pour avoir nous donner une très très belle expérience !
