About

L'Atelier de Tam addresses a demand that classic Niçois cooking workshops don't cover: learning to cook Asian gastronomy — Japanese, Vietnamese, Thai — with authentic techniques, in an intimate, convivial setting. It is one of the highest-rated cooking courses on Yelp Nice 2025.

Tam, the founder, is of Asian origin and grew up in a culture where culinary transmission is at the heart of family bonds. Her philosophy: demystifying Asian techniques — learning that making sushis at home is accessible, that sushi rice is workable, that gyoza dough can be formed.

Available Courses

Sushi and maki workshop — preparing vinegared rice, California Roll, maki, nigiri rolling techniques. Asian dumplings (Japanese gyoza, Vietnamese dumplings, dumplings) — homemade dough, fillings, steamed and pan cooking. Asian wok — mastering high-temperature cooking, sauces and balances. Thai cuisine — curries, soups and fragrant dishes. Special workshops (bao, homemade ramen) by season.

Pricing

Courses from €55/person. Groups and privatisations available. Booking recommended.

Made sushis described as 'better than many restaurants'. The convivial, relaxed atmosphere is very appreciated. 2025 Yelp reviews confirm constant excellence.

Overall: L'Atelier de Tam is the finest address for learning Asian cuisine in Nice — a gourmet, pedagogical and convivial experience that Japanese food and Vietnamese cuisine enthusiasts love.
