Le Chantecler
Côte d'Azur / French Riviera > Nice
Le Negresco is located along the Promenade des Anglais, one of the most famous spots on Nice's waterfront. In this historic hotel, the restaurant Le Chantecler offers a refined gastronomic experience that reflects both Riviera tradition and contemporary French cuisine. Chef Virginie Basselot, named *Meilleur Ouvrier de France* in two thousand and fifteen, heads up Le Chantecler's kitchen. A native of Normandy, she creates her menu from ingredients carefully selected from local producers and artisans. Her dishes focus on clear flavors and precise techniques. Such is the case with Mediterranean monkfish prepared with lemon balm and butter infused with lemons from the Var region, or red mullet accompanied by a cabbage purée flavored with combava and a fish liver-based seasoning. The cuisine showcases Mediterranean ingredients while maintaining a modern interpretation of French gastronomy. Room service remains attentive and well-organized, completing the experience in this historic setting overlooking the sea.
