At 17 Avenue Malaussena, in the pedestrian Libération quarter, Rooftop Monsigny is the most intimate and 'local secret' rooftop in our selection. On the 7th floor of Monsigny Hotel, this wooden terrace opens onto a 360° panorama encompassing Nice, the surrounding hills and the Mediterranean — and features a privatisable jacuzzi and sun loungers that transform the venue into a true suspended spa.
Open only from May to September, Rooftop Monsigny stands out for its carefully curated music programming — trendy atmosphere every evening, perfect for drinks with friends or a relaxed afterwork. Fresh fruit cocktails are the house speciality. The terrace can be privatised for events (birthdays, hen parties, seminars). Capacity: 50 to 100 people depending on configuration.
Signature fresh seasonal fruit cocktails: house sangria, royal mojito, revisited spritz, mango-passion daiquiri. French wine and Provence rosé selection. Mediterranean tapas and small plates. Noted specialities: chicken poke bowl and house espresso martini. Cocktails: approximately €13 — €17.
Trendy, musical and intimate. Rooftop Monsigny is described as 'the rooftop locals prefer to keep to themselves'. Enveloping sofas, evening fairy lights and curated music programming create a bubble apart — far from the tourist bustle of the Promenade.
Highlights: 360° view rated exceptional. Jacuzzi described as 'incredible'. Trendy music programming greatly appreciated. Staff described as welcoming and smiling — special mention to 'Hugo' for his personality. Overall atmosphere rated 'top' and venue 'fantastic'.
Areas for improvement: Service can be rated among Nice's worst in some cases — lack of responsiveness during peak times. Chicken poke bowl and espresso martini correct without being exceptional. Jacuzzi access in the evening can be complicated depending on crowd levels.
Rooftop Monsigny is Nice's rooftop hideaway — intimate, musical and blessed with a jacuzzi overlooking the Mediterranean. The rooftop for those who want the atmosphere without the Promenade crowds.
