A Great Place in the Port Area of Nice

A Great Place in the Port Area of Nice

We've been to Les Pecheurs a couple of times now and it is a keeper. This time we ate outside in a warm sun but the inside is very attractive too. There are set menus at 28 and 38 euros and also a la carte items. The chef is quite creative. My entree (first course) today was crab with avocado, but all was pureed and served in a blue glass placed in a clear glass of ice, a beautiful presentation and delicious to eat. For a main course I had the gambas (shrimp); there were only three, but they were a pretty good size and were served with rice topped with bacon; on the side were pureed carrots with crumbs on top and a glass holding pureed courgettes (zucchini). A friend ordered the souris d'agneau (lamb shanks) which were served with mashed potatoes - there was a sprinkling of powdered chocolate on the plate, indicating that there was some cooked with the lamb, not noticeable in the taste but the lamb was excellent. David had a marmite de pecheur, a soup-bowl of seafood in broth, which he loved. For dessert I had the chef's version of tiramisu while the others had a berry crumble.

Service is excellent and the manager is terrific and knowledgable and friendly. This is a good deal for such creative cooking.
