Eden Garden

TripAdvisor 4.8/5 — #40 Nice Wood-Fired Cuisine Ivorian Lamb Choukouya Port View Terrace Best Port Value for Money
About

The Eden Garden lines Quai Lunel, on the port of Nice, a short walk from Old Nice. The table offers a singular fusion cuisine, where Ivory Coast meets the island of Reunion. Wood-fire smoked or grilled meats and fish, alloko, banana foufou, African sauces and sides: a rare change of scene in Nice.

The terrace looks onto the port and its boats. The mood is convivial, often set to music, and the place also works as a bar and shisha lounge. Dishes are shared as tapas or taken as heartier plates.

Good to know

A blended cuisine, sometimes described as hard to pin down. Terrace by the quay. Booking advised for dinner in season.

Visitor reviews

Highlights: The fusion cuisine, original and exotic, is the great strength. The smoked meats, the choucouya lamb and the African sides are praised for their flavours. The warm welcome of the chef and his team comes up constantly. The port-view terrace, the cocktails and the musical atmosphere are also appreciated, for good value.

Areas for improvement: Service can be slow between courses. The terrace, by the road, is sometimes noisy. A few guests find the culinary identity a little floating, between Africa, Reunion and India, and feel the appeal is tied to promotional offers.

Overall impression: An endearing, original address on the port, for an Afro-Reunionese taste journey and a terrace facing the boats.
