French Riviera — Restaurants

Le Chantecler at Hôtel Negresco

Fine Dining

Getaway Unpacked Edit

The grandest dining room on the Riviera — a MICHELIN-starred restaurant inside Nice's most iconic hotel, with a Louis XV interior and Riviera-meets-haute-cuisine menu.

Why It Belongs on the List

Chantecler is housed in a remarkable Louis XV room within the Negresco, with carved panelling, Aubusson tapestries, and crystal chandeliers creating a setting more extraordinary than almost anything else on the Côte d'Azur. Chef Virginie Basselot holds one MICHELIN star for cooking that celebrates Niçoise and Provençal traditions through a fine-dining lens. The most formal and prestigious dining experience in Nice.

What Stands Out

  • One MICHELIN Star
  • Louis XV–style dining room
  • Located within the Hotel Negresco
  • Elevated Niçoise cuisine
  • Most prestigious restaurant in Nice
