Garden Café

The Garden Cafe is one of Nice's most sought-after brunch addresses, on Boulevard Gambetta. The decor plays the leafy veranda, bright and green. The house made its name on generous brunches and several set menus, from breakfast to lunch.

The menu goes healthy: several brunch sets, the first from around €20, but also salad bowls, burgers, bagels, toasts and eggs. Salmon toast, pancakes and pressed juices are among the classics. Better to come early: a queue is common.

Good to know

Open every day, from morning to mid-afternoon. Reachable by tram. A wait is common at the weekend: arriving early is advised.

Visitor reviews

Highlights: The generous brunch sets and good value come up often. The bright, leafy veranda decor is much liked, as is the smiling welcome. The address is cited among the must-visit brunches in Nice.

Areas for improvement: Queues and waits for a table are frequent. The room, with close-set tables, can be noisy. A few guests regret products that seem industrial, pancakes and eggs to the fore.

Overall impression: A generous, very popular healthy brunch, to choose for the leafy setting and the sets, coming early to avoid the queue.
