Voyageur Nissart

Voyageur Nissart is a restaurant at 19 Rue d'Alsace-Lorraine in Nice, in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region of France, in the district between the Gare de Nice-Ville and Avenue Jean-Médecin. It serves fixed-menu Niçoise cooking in a part of the city that sees many arriving and departing travellers, and its appeal lies in offering the local classics at a predictable price without a trip into the old town. The cuisine is Niçoise, and the menu follows the familiar structure of a French set meal. Signature dishes include pissaladière, the onion and anchovy tart, salade niçoise, daube niçoise, the slow-braised beef stew, Genoese-style gnocchi and farcis niçois, the stuffed vegetables. Daube and farcis are the dishes most associated with traditional home cooking in Nice, and the salade niçoise is a useful comparison with the versions served elsewhere in the city. The dining room is traditional and relaxed, with a moderate noise level, a mix of locals and visitors and no dress code. The atmosphere suits families and small groups rather than a special-occasion dinner. Wine is likely to be a short selection of Provence rosé, white and red, offered by the glass or carafe. Prices are moderate: a meal is reported at about €30 to €40 (about $35 to $46), and a three-course Niçoise menu was advertised at €29.90 (about $34). A 2020 listing shows lunch from 12:00 to 14:00 and dinner from 19:00 to 22:00, so visitors should confirm current hours by phone on +33 4 93 82 19 60. Reservations are recommended in the evening, and a call earlier in the day is usually enough for a small party. The restaurant has its own website at voyageurnissart.com. The location, within walking distance of the station and the tram line on Avenue Jean-Médecin, makes it practical for a meal before a train or after checking in to a nearby hotel.
