Chez Davia
A family-run restaurant established in 1953, now a 2026 Bib Gourmand, specializing in beef stew and home-style Nissart dishes.
Chez Davia is located on Rue Grimaldi in the center of Nice. Founded by the family in 1953, Chef Pierre Altobelli has been at the helm since 2016. It holds a 2026 Michelin Bib Gourmand and the "Cuisine Nissarde" certification. The official website highlights daube niçoise (beef stew), barbajuans (fried chard-stuffed pastries), and lemon tart, alongside seasonal creative dishes. The dining room has only about 30 seats plus a small terrace, so it fills up quickly and booking is recommended. Third-party sources state a weekday three-course lunch is around €39. Closed Mondays; open only for dinner on Tuesdays.
