About This Place
La Petite Maison in the heart of Nice is a culinary gem that masterfully marries French and Mediterranean flavors into an unforgettable dining experience. Nestled at 11 Rue Saint-François de Paule, this restaurant is a testament to timeless elegance and bold, vibrant cuisine.
The menu reads like a love letter to the Mediterranean coast, featuring an exquisite selection of dishes that entice every sense. From the richly indulgent Bone Marrow and summer’s delicate A la Truffe d'été Risotto to the iconic Escargots de Bourgogne Très Gros, every plate is crafted with precision and passion. Seafood lovers will delight in the perfectly prepared lobster pasta, known locally as استكوزا مع باستا مع كريمه, while meat aficionados can savor the succulence of the Filet de Bœuf or the tender Entrecôte. The signature Burrata with Tomatoes and crispy Fleurs de Courgette en Fins Beignets add a fresh and light balance to the menu, and the Risotto Aux Truffes and Truffle Pasta elevate the dining experience with their intoxicating aroma and rich flavor.
Dining at La Petite Maison is an experience beyond just food. The atmosphere strikes a perfect balance between lively and intimate, reflecting the vibrant spirit of Nice. Indoor seating is a cool, inviting sanctuary—especially appreciated during warmer months as noted by customers who find the terrace a bit humid in May. The attentive and warm service ensures that, even during busy nights, each guest feels genuinely cared for—making the meal feel like a special occasion.
Patrons like Craig Bloom rave about the consistently "amazing" flavors and attentive service that never compromises despite the bustling setting. Loyal regulars such as Shara Talabany praise the unwavering quality and the charm of the team, especially Madam Nicole, whom many consider an icon. Guests frequently mention the heartfelt professionalism and pride radiating from the staff, perfectly encapsulated by the hosting prowess of Jordan, whose dedication and kindness enrich the overall experience.
La Petite Maison's reputation is richly deserved, not merely relying on its fame but continually impressing with remarkable food and genuine hospitality. It's the kind of place where every bite sings of fresh, vibrant flavors, and every visit feels like coming home to a cherished and beautifully crafted tradition.
For those seeking a true taste of Nice’s culinary artistry—in an environment that is both elegant and welcoming—La Petite Maison promises an unforgettable journey through Mediterranean sophistication and classic French refinement.

1 month agoThis place hardly needs an introduction — its reputation speaks for itself. Still, I feel to share my experience. At first, things didn’t go as expected. There was a line at the entrance, and the host seemed overwhelmed and a bit disorganized. It gave off the impression that the restaurant might be relying on its fame rather than maintaining its service standards. But once we were seated, everything changed. From that moment on, it was nothing short of exceptional. The food was phenomenal, the service attentive,the music perfect and THE lady, owner, whose presence fills the space in the best possible way, she is truly part of the evening experience. By the end of the evening, I found myself wishing I lived nearby, this is the kind of place I’d love to return to weekly.

3 month agoWe were very lucky to spend an evening here and had such a wonderful experience. Our host, Jordan, was exceptionally kind and charming. What impressed us most was not only his professionalism (even after a very long shift), but also the pride and loyalty he showed toward his team and his boss. He told us that the owner has been the heart of this restaurant for over 30 years — and you could truly feel that spirit in the atmosphere. Jordan also shared interesting details about the wine we ordered from Château La Coste, its origin, and even about the vineyard owner. That personal touch made the evening even more special. The food was excellent, but what really stood out was the sense of harmony in the team — everyone seemed to work together with respect and joy, which created such a warm atmosphere. We even briefly saw the owner, and it was clear how much love she has poured into this place. Overall, it was a beautiful evening, and we left with full hearts (and stomachs!). Highly recommended.

4 month agoLa Petite Maison, the original and the one and only in Nice. A simple menu, unlike the other ones. The food was delicious especially the lobster linguine. Also, the dessert I tried (strawberry/raspberry gratin) was unique. Never seen something like this before.
