12 Avenue de Verdun, 06000 Nizza, France

In one of the most beautiful restaurants in Nice, you can enjoy the delicately composed creations of chef Damien Andrews: lacquered sea bream, octopus carpaccio, prawn ravioli with hazelnut espuma. The terrace and veranda are a dream.

11 Quai Rauba Capeu, 06300 Nizza, France

The pretty boutique hotel with the resonant name has a delightful bar on the ground floor that is open to everyone, as well as a charming roof terrace with pastel coloured furniture and 360-degree views over Nice, where you can enjoy drinks as well as simple Mediterranean-Greek dishes.

3 Avenue des Fleurs, 06000 Nizza, France

Perhaps the most romantic restaurant in Nice with an unobstructed view of magical sunsets at an iconic location in the city. Floating above the sea, you can enjoy summery Mediterranean gourmet cuisine made from fresh, seasonal market produce.

60 Boulevard Franck Pilatte, 06300 Nizza, France

The rooftop of the AC Hotel Nice is the perfect place to unwind among the plants and sea views, be it with cocktails and bar snacks by the lagoon coloured pool or with stuffed zucchini flowers and salmon steak with salicorn in the sophisticated open-air restaurant.

59 Promenade des Anglais, 06000 Nizza, France

With its premium location on the Promenade des Anglais, Le Méridien, including the Peska bar and roof terrace restaurant, is one of the hotspots of the Côte d'Azur. The hotel cuisine tastes fantastic: sea bream ceviche with citrus fruits, swordfish with panisse.

1 Promenade des Anglais, 06000 Nizza, France

A somewhat soberly designed roof terrace restaurant in the otherwise splendid Hôtel Aston La Scala. It's still worth a visit, especially on summer days. Then the atmosphere is vibrant and you have an almost kitschy view of the city.

12 Avenue Félix Faure, 06000 Nizza, France

A small oasis with a whirlpool, sofas and fairy lights has been created on the seventh floor of the Hotel Monsigny. The view of the sea of rooftops and the sky shimmering in all shades of blue and pink is particularly rewarding here. In addition to cocktails and mocktails, there is finger food to share.

17 Avenue Malausséna, 06000 Nizza, France

A small urban oasis on the colourful roof terrace of the Hôtel Mercure. Far away from the hustle and bustle of the city and yet right in the middle of it all, you can practise cultivated laissez-faire with cocktails and snacks. In the evening, the direct view of Notre Dame is truly magical.

28 Avenue Notre-Dame, 06000 Nizza, France

Not far from the Cours Saleya, this charming restaurant with its enchanting roof terrace is popular with locals and visitors alike. Colourful menu with creative, also many vegetarian dishes in tapas or regular size. Reservations are recommended.
