Le 7eme Sens - Nice

We ate all nizza. we were among the most rated restaurants in tripadvisor and all Michelin-star restaurants (except l 'aromate). we have been back to le 7eme sense for about 5 years and must have gone about 15 times into the restaurant. eating is always top notch and somehow chef giles creates this extra twist to make some very good dressed. his cooking art is rather directed towards the traditional style of the French cook. for example, the empty shell is always a winner. the sauce is based on a slowly boiled boullion that shimmers all day. terrific food needs time to prepare, no dish on the menu that their children do not like, no problem. chef giles goes out of this and prepares a pasta dish only for her children. the ambiente of this small cozy restaurant makes us feel that we are on French land to see a cook that prepares for them. they come hungry if they want to eat the 3 curs meal!

Le 7ème Sens is the kind of restaurant you dream of finding. The menu suggests “bistro”, but every dish has a special touch that reveals the personality of the chef and reflects the best that the market can offer. With many visits over a number...of years, my wife and I have eaten our way through most of the menu. The cooking and presentation have always been perfect, and the atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable. Surprisingly, this is all the work of one man — owner/chef/waiter Gilles. In spite of his many tasks, Gilles manages to find time to chat and make his guests feel genuinely welcome. Le 7ème Sens is only a few minutes walk from the hustle and hype of Nice’s Vieille Ville. It is quite simply the best value for money among Nice’s many fine restaurants.

Le 7ème Sens is a cosy little restaurant located very centrally (200 metres from the Old Town . The chef/owner Gilles Minier is an eminent representative of French cooking at its best, combining simplicity and sophistication. Fresh produce is cooked with skill, imagination and an infallible...sense (the seventh? of taste and texture. Prices of both food and wine are very reasonable. Highly recommended – avoid the rush of the Old Town and enjoy a superb meal in quiet and quaint surroundings.

A nice small restaurant serving good home cooked food accompanied by keenly priced quality wines. There were 8 covers including us and le patron was the chef and server. So at times we waited a longer time to be served as he sought to juggle...both roles! Food was lovely. A very small point was that the sauce with my St Jacques was too salty for my taste but that could be me). It was good te away from the main tourist centre.

On a recent business trip to Nice, a friend took me to this cute little restaurant. He had told me that it had received great reviews on trip advisor, but I was still a little bit skeptical, since we were the only two guests. It...was a Tuesday evening and Nice was extremely quiet. Another restaurant would've sent us away, with only two to cook for. Not this one! He treated us amazingly. The food was delicious. I had a starter with fois gras. Usually restaurants serve up a small portion with lots of bread, but here, the portion was very generous and the quality excellent. Next I had a steak, which was expertly prepared. We rounded off our meal with a cheese plate. The attention to detail was mind boggling. He sprinkled chili powder around the rim of the plate, which looked nice and gave a great flavour when dipping the cheese in there. The host was by himself, but did everything, from prepare the dishes, entertain us with stories, welcome us, bring the food, everything. I'm sure in the end he also washed our plates. I wish him all the best for the success of his restaurant. Ordering is very easy. You choose whether you'd like starter and main course, or main course and desert, or all three, and then you simply pick off the various options on the wall. Prices were reasonable for what we ordered. The *only* slightly negative mark that I would give him and with this my friend agreed it would've been nice if he had told us a bit about the cheeses. Since they were all quite different, it would've been nice to know what their distinct qualities were.
