The Beach Restaurant

From the shaded terrace overlooking the Bay of Angels, guests gaze into the distance.

Nature explodes in an exuberant display of greens and whites, revealing a botanical garden.

The sumptuousness of the Grand Siècle shines brightest at the white linen-dressed dining tables and cushions filled with extraordinary fables. Rumour has it that the sublime, sun-drenched vistas are postcard-perfect and will whet your appetite.

Lunch from 12pm to 3pm

Set between land and sea, resonating with the flavours of Provence and the deep blue sea, the poetry of the N La Plage restaurant sings the praises of Mediterranean cuisine. And God only knows, there are many delicious local ingredients to choose from!

It comes as no surprise that Chef Sébastien Volontier draws on this culinary heritage under the watchful eye of Virginie Basselot, whose Chef’s hat is adorned with the title of Best Craftsman of France. Their signature is an ode to the Niçois culinary repertoire. The rich local flavours are showcased in the sun-kissed vegetables, freshly cut fish, and meticulously selected meat. Authentic products with the charm of the south. A delicious cuisine without frills. Simply the basics. Aromas bursting with flavour. Flavours that explode.

Time stands still. As you sit with friends or family, simply relish the pleasure of being together, and sharing genuine, unpretentious meals. Oysters from the Maison Giol oysters, salt-crusted bass, or still, a beautiful plate of persillade vegetables paired with delicate wines and champagnes. The flawless foretaste…

And just to nurture the daydream a little more – but is that really necessary – in the evenings, you will enjoy the breeze and the scents around you as the waves gently lap the beach while you greet the setting sun.

Virginie Basselot

Local Produce and Savoir-Faire

Virginie Basselot draws her inspiration from the heart of the Mediterranean, where the excellence of local produce takes centre stage. Freshness, seasonality, and proximity are the guiding principles of this Meilleur Ouvrier de France, who elevates each ingredient with elegance, audacity, and technical mastery. Around her, a passionate brigade – from her sous-chefs Michelle Gibon and Amélia Losilla to chef de partie – brings to life a vibrant Mediterranean: iodine-rich, plant-filled, and earthy. Each plate pays homage to the rich traditions of Nice, with deep respect for its heritage and the momentum of a resolutely contemporary creativity.

An ever-present Heritage

In 1957, the visionary and passionate Jeanne Augier transformed Le Negresco into a hotel of art and history. Through rare pieces and majestic styles, she created a unique masterpiece on the Riviera. At the heart of Le Chantecler and the Salon Régence, art graces the table: a portrait of Louis XV by La Tour, Marie Leszczynska by Nattier, wood panelling from the Château de Chaintré, or leatherwork from Malines… Every detail reflects the elegance of the Grand Siècle and the finest expression of French excellence.
