This restaurant is a remarkable addition to the famous Nice flower market, the Cours de Saleya. The Cours is well known, well loved and often frequented but it is generally not known for great restaurants. There are certainly plenty of them but finding one that is worth visiting for the food is not an easy task. they are all worth visiting for their atmosphere and situation. La Cambuse is one of the notable exceptions. This charming wood panelled restaurant has the feeling of being an original. With white linen table cloths and a fine dining French menu it is both good value and good quality. You can expect to pay in the region of €30 for a main course but you will get an exceptional dish that is both traditional French, as opposed to Nicoise, and gastronomique without being pretentious. An original, in a beautiful setting on a well worn tourist trail that is worth the time, the effort and the money.
