Les Garçons Restaurant

Along the pedestrian streets of Vieux Nice you will come upon many different types of restaurants and cafes to choose from but one place you should not miss out on is Les Garçons.

Located in the heart of this colorful district in Nice, Les Garçons sets the tone with, “Relax, Eat, Enjoy” as their motto and nothing can be truer.

With an ever-changing menu and a fresh assortment of drinks…all very reasonably priced I might add, if you can’t decide where to go with friends and family last minute, this wonderful French restaurant is the place to be. 

Non-pretentious, in fact very comfortable, Les Garçons is the obvious choice with its menu of fresh and seasonal assortment of food choices. There is always something to please everyone’s taste palette.

Space tends to be tight in the historic Vieux Nice but it certainly doesn’t feel that way with the layout of Les Garçons in being very similar to what North American restaurants have started doing by having almost more of a communal experience with the tables close together, which is also a great way to meet new people.

And that also carries over to the very cool and moody lower lounge area where you can have a drink or two then set off for a night out.

Having opened this past June of 2014, not only does this restaurant have an urban, trendy look, it is also a quality establishment that has been a local hit since it first opened its doors with many people I know making weekly pilgrimages to the place.

If you are ever in Vieux Nice, be sure to seek out the Les Garçons Restaurant, you will be back for seconds.

Update: As of November 2021, Les Garcons Restaurant is now under new management with the name, La Raffinerie.

GClub

If new dance sounds are what you are after, if dancing all night long is what it is about for you, along with meeting all kinds of fun-loving people, then this gay and hetero-friendly GClub will hit the spot.

Every weekend GClub is packed to the rafters with locals and those visiting the French Riviera from around the world. And management must be doing something right as year round there is a dedicated clientele base that can’t seem to get enough of the place and who are ready to party the night away with anyone else who wants to join in for the ride.

With a variety of local and international DJ’s/Producers appearing at GClub every weekend, it makes for a fresh sound and feel to the place on every visit. And at GClub you will hear every type of music genre around, from progressive house to techno-electro mixed with dance classics from days gone by.

GClub is one of those unique nightclubs where even if you decide to go on your own, you don’t need to worry about being intimidated by cliques you might run into, rather the opposite, it’s a great place to meet new friends or bring the ones you have!

It is also one of those nightclubs where once you enter, you end up having so much fun that you forget what time it is and the next thing you know the sun is practically up.

Prices for drinks are reasonable, staff is always attentive and friendly, and the music is always on beat, what more can you ask for? If you are in city, plan an evening or two out at GClub in Vieux Nice!

As of about April 2016, GClub has closed for business but we will keep you updated if that change, which it sometimes does once summer rolls around.
