About Bistro d'Antoine
As a newcomer wandering the foodscape of Nice, stepping into Bistro d'Antoine felt like discovering the neighborhood secret that locals guard jealously—a tiny gem in Vieux Nice where Mediterranean soul food gets the respect it deserves. This beloved bistro doesn't chase trends or Michelin stars; instead, chef Antoine Crespo focuses on what matters: transforming the best local ingredients into dishes that make you close your eyes on the first bite. The squid with chorizo and tangerine dressing sounds simple on paper, but when it arrives, the interplay of smoky Spanish sausage, tender seafood, and bright citrus creates the kind of flavor harmony that explains why securing one of the 30 seats here requires persistence and patience. What makes Bistro d'Antoine essential isn't just the food—it's the way this restaurant captures the essence of Nice's dining culture, where quality trumps pretension and every meal feels like a celebration of Mediterranean life.
"Beloved Vieux Nice bistro where locals queue for squid with chorizo and black sausage risotto. Mediterranean soul food in intimate 30-seat setting that captures Nice's authentic dining spirit."
