La Rotonde

Gazing up at La Rotonde, imagine a carousel, a submarine, and a spaceship swirling together. This isn’t science fiction. This is the unique vision of La Rotonde, nestled within the legendary Negresco Hotel in Nice. La Rotonde isn’t just a restaurant. It’s an experience. A whimsical escape where the chic Riviera spirit meets playful design. La Rotonde reopened in 2017, transformed by decorators Marc Hertrich and Nicolas Adnet. They captured the Negresco’s extravagance and added a touch of playful fantasy. Imagine dining under a moving ceiling depicting a starry night sky. Airplanes, seagulls, and even shooting stars glide across the azure canvas. White carousel horses stand proudly, adding to the dreamlike atmosphere. La Rotonde offers more than just a feast for the eyes. Executive Chef Virginie Basselot orchestrates a culinary symphony. Her modern Mediterranean cuisine features fresh, local ingredients. Dishes like grilled avocado with clementines and veal breast stuffed with niçoise sauce tantalize the taste buds. La Rotonde’s menu changes with the seasons, always offering something new. The wine list boasts nearly 70 selections, including grands crus and local favorites from Provence. Knowledgeable sommeliers guide you to the perfect pairing. Even the tableware, with its terracotta plates and sleek stemware, adds to the sensory experience. La Rotonde is located within the Negresco Hotel on the Promenade des Anglais. It’s a prime location for exploring Nice’s vibrant heart. After your meal, stroll along the Promenade or visit the nearby Jardin Albert 1er. La Rotonde is an unforgettable experience, a place where culinary artistry meets whimsical design.
