Le Petit Nice is the dinner you plan the trip around. The Passedat family has run it since 1917, the Michelin Guide gives the hotel one Key, and its Michelin page lists the restaurant with three stars — 19 rooms on the Corniche, about 6.9 road miles from MPCT by our routing.
It isn't in our twenty because the Corniche is the wrong side of town for Porte 4. Our routing puts the morning drive at about 14 minutes with no traffic, so leave real time for the coast road into the city.
Parking is €30 (about US$35) a day, per the Michelin Guide, with EV charging. Breakfast isn't mentioned, and neither is any ride to the port.
Book it for the dinner, and book the taxi for the morning when you book the table.
Book it if
- The dinner is the point of the night
- A small hotel, 19 rooms in all, suits you
- You're driving and want EV charging
Look elsewhere if
- You want the shortest morning to MPCT.
- You need breakfast confirmed before you book.
- You want a hotel shuttle of any kind.
