La Barque Bleue

Seafood mecca after having just arrived in Nice. What a better setting than to sit at the Old Port just after sunset amidst the swaying boats and a strolling musician playing classic french music on his accordion? We waited a while for a table for a late seating but the staff was attentive during the wait and through our meal. The seafood stew was exceptional as well as the fresh fish! Highly recommended!

Horrible. If you order something that has an unspecified allergen they will charge you for it. Just awful service.

If you like mussels, YOU HAVE TO EAT HERE. These were by far the best and biggest mussels I've had in France, maybe one of the best meals of my life. I ate mussels at three other fancy restaurants in Nice, and the mussels at this restaurant cannot even compare. There are sent from Heaven. I did not want the meal to end and even drank a little of the sauce like soup bc omg ... please try it for yourself and you won't regret it!!! I'll be thinking of this meal for the rest of my life.

We were really hopeful after walking by and seeing the food but ended up disappointed. Although seated right in front facing out we were ignored for 20 minutes and had to flag them down to order. Everybody around us had to as well and if you finally caught their attention they were unpleasant and frustrated. The pasta came out cold and the pizza soupy. We had no forks either and had to flag them down for that too. The pizza wasn't salvageable in general. We couldn't even get their attention to bring us our check, felt very uncomfortable. Keep looking for somewhere else!

Cozy ambiance, friendly staff and excellent food & service . I definitely recommend this restaurant. And will plan to visit again next year .

le gérant du restaurant nous as très mal reçu , aucune politesse , manque total de professionnalisme . il nous as fait payé plus que l'addition initiale . restaurant à fuire. repas de mauvaise qualité , mais je remercie particulièrement les serveuses pour leur amabilité

A very good seafood restaurant along the east side of the port in Nice, La Barque Bleue offers many seafood and pasta dishes, as well as pizzas. We have been there twice in the last months and each time have gotten the simple grilled fresh fish. They have loup, durade and sole meunière for about 9 or 11 euros per 100 grams. Each time our fish was about 400 to 450 grams. They show you the fish before it is cooked and again after it is cooked and ask you if you want them to filet it. The result is a beautiful white filet that is the sweetest fish you've ever tasted! Along with some pommes frites and a bottle of white wine, you've got a delicious lunch.

Best food i've ever had. I recommend spicy bacon pasta and crème brûlée. Delicious . Def recommend to everyone who goes to Nice

This restaurant was completely empty at 18:45. We stopped to eat there. The server tried to put us against the wall. We asked to sit a little further out stating that if another party of 2 showed up, they could sit against the wall instead of us. The server did not agree. We were literally the only two there!
I understand about the fact they were expecting more customers but we were going to be fast and he knew it as we told him what we wanted.
This restaurant is a tourist trap. We went to eat at a restaurant only a few meters down that and that restaurant is getting a 5 star review from me because they went out pf their way to make our dinner comfortable! They did not care where we sat. Too bad because the location is beautiful!
Try the nearby place. They serve great fish. Great same location. Great servers.

We went twice for dinner because it was close to the place we were staying. Nice location, good food but very, Very unfriendly service!!
