Bar des Oiseaux

Top choice in Nice


Hidden down a narrow backstreet, this old-town classic has been in business since 1961, serving as a popular nightclub before reincarnating itself as a restaurant (some of its original saucy murals have survived the transition). Nowadays it’s a lively bistro serving superb traditional French cuisine spiced up with modern twists. The weekday lunch special offers phenomenal value. Book ahead.

It’s owned by local entrepreneur Armand Crespo, who also runs Le Bistrot d’Antoine and Le Comptoir du Marché.
