Olive et Artichaut

About Olive et Artichaut

As a newcomer wandering the foodscape of Nice, stepping into Olive et Artichaut felt like discovering what happens when a passionate chef decides to challenge everything you thought you knew about French dining. Chef Thomas Hubert has created something remarkable here—a restaurant that earned its Michelin star not despite being vegetarian, but because of it. This isn't plant-based cuisine as limitation; it's vegetables elevated to fine dining through technique, creativity, and deep respect for ingredients. When their signature artichoke preparation arrives, transformed through multiple cooking methods and paired with olive tapenade that sings of Provence, you understand that this is cooking that happens to be vegetarian rather than vegetarian cooking trying to be special. What makes Olive et Artichaut extraordinary is how it's quietly revolutionizing Nice's dining scene, proving that vegetables deserve the same reverence as any protein when treated with proper skill and imagination.
