Nice, France - Restaurant Recommendations Needed
We will be in Nice for New Years. Any recommendations for good restaurants that will be open during this time of year? Also, we'd preferably like to spend less than 200E per person.
Thanks!
Thanks!

For grand fine dining, the Hotel Negresco's Chantecler, would be a good choice. Whether they are open on NYE I am afraid I do not know.
Other excellent choices, not necessarily for NYE, are:
La Bastide St. Antoine, Grasse
Le Moulin de Mougins, Mougins
Le Louis XV, Hotel de Paris, Monaco
Restaurant Joel Robuchon, Hotel Metropole, Monaco
Chateau de la Chevre d'Or, Eze

That's what we did when we went from Geneva to Phillipe Rochat (former Girardet's) in Crissier (Lausanne)....

Maybe then Bar et Bouef or Spoon in Monaco may be alternatives for Monaco....
How about: (all recommended by Concierge I know in the area)
Les Epicuriens, 6 place Wilson, Nice (well executied Nicois cuisine with a dash of sophistication)
Le Comptoir, 20 rue St. Francois de Paule, Nice (Nicois cuisine, Art Deco room)
La Petite Masion, 11 rue St. Francois de Paule, Nice (authentic Nicois cuisine)

I highly recommend Le Padouk Restaurant located in the Palais de la Mediterranee Hotel in Nice on the Boulevard des Anglais. The food is superb, plus, you won't be faced with a long drive.
