For some time now, we have seen the emergence in Nice of new gourmet addresses, ingeniously run by talented chefs in their thirties. Fine Gueule is part of this movement.
The keys to success? A skillful combination of know-how, creativity, quality products and original decoration. A very "bistronomical" spirit to use this trendy term. Here it is in no way misguided and it takes on its full meaning.
The chief, Géraud Gary-Bobo is a graduate of the Bocuse School. Despite his young age, he already has some great references: the Metropolis with Joël Robuchon in Monaco, the carré des feuillants with Alain Dutournier in Paris or Guy Lassaussaie's Lassaussaie restaurant near Lyon. This is his first case on his own. The location is very well chosen... Just in front of the town hall in the heart of Nice.
The menu is essentially slate-based, with dishes changing according to the market and the chef's inspiration. Two formulas, one for lunch at 16 € (starter of the day, main course of the day + glass of wine) or the menu that can be enjoyed at lunch or in the evening
Here are some examples of current starters, main courses and desserts... I loved the "Burrata truffled with Fabio and black radish, truffle vinaigrette" and the "Ceviche de dorade, green apple beetroot and curry vinaigrette".
Then, I made the gourmet by tasting two dishes, on the land and sea sides with an excellent roasted cod in the garlic way, crushed potatoes with olives, and an almost veal, semolina with fresh herbs and candied eggplant
Well, for the desserts, I admit, I had a little more trouble because I wasn't hungry at all! But I still tasted the lemon meringue pie (Top) and the roasted figs with honey and vanilla ice cream
In short... A fine, balanced cuisine that highlights the product, without adding unnecessary frills. An elegant and innovative decoration both in the room, on the outdoor terrace, and on the plate. An affable service but not too stuffy, just the right balance
It is prudent to book, the success is already there since the opening
