Taulissa

Taulissa proves that Nice's rooftop dining scene has finally caught up to the city's culinary reputation. Located on the sixth floor of the Maison Albar - Le Victoria, this Michelin-selected restaurant delivers spectacular 360-degree views of the city and Mediterranean without sacrificing substance. Chefs Glenn Viel and Fred Grava, who cut their teeth in Courchevel before bringing their partnership to Nice, have created a menu that honors Southern French traditions while adding their own creative flair.

The dining experience leans theatrical in the best way—dishes like the catch of the day and confit lamb shoulder arrive at your table with attendant service that adds a touch of drama. The kitchen works with intensely flavored jus and local produce, keeping preparations honest rather than overly fussy. The Sunday brunch is worth the trip alone, featuring an unlimited cocotte buffet with live music that creates a genuinely festive atmosphere.

Service strikes the right balance between attentive and relaxed, fitting the French Riviera's art de vivre. While the price point sits firmly in the upscale category, the combination of exceptional views, solid Mediterranean cooking, and that rare ability to make you feel both special and at ease makes Taulissa a standout in Nice's competitive dining landscape. Book well in advance, especially for terrace seating at golden hour.
