If you live in the Riquier neighborhood in Nice, we bet you have already walked past Virginie, a true institution with a prominent location facing the train station since 1948. More than 70 years later, the brasserie has had a lovely makeover! The seafood bar is no more, now transferred to another establishment run by the family, and replaced by a beautiful heated terrace where it is pleasant to enjoy an aperitivo (cocktail with appetizer plate). However, seafood lovers can rest assured that during the winter season, shellfish, oysters, and other seafood delicacies add to the menu... Phew! 🦪🍸
A youthful vibe is also present in the dining area, where special attention has been given to every detail, and a dash of excitement on the menu that features, of course, Italian ancestral recipes with a modern twist. On the menu: hearty pizzas, well-seasoned pastas, delicious grilled meats, not forgetting the tiramisu - a trustworthy classic! The editorial team’s food picks are the spaghetti vongole, mafaldine with truffle cream, the "fatissime" Milanese escalope, and the beef tartare, which have many fans.
A family restaurant for families
Whether with friends, colleagues, or during events where sharing a big table is required (birthdays, seminars, etc.), Virginie knows how to adapt to different life moments, without any fuss whatsoever! What we truly appreciate is...particularly, it's the spirit of family that continues from generation to generation, but also customer after customer. For proof, the little ones have their dedicated space where they can play, color (do kid stuff, you know), while the parents enjoy, for example, the jam gipsy flamenco organized on Friday evening, once a month.

Better yet, every Sunday until the end of February, if you buy 2 adult meals (2 dishes), the children's menu is free! In short, Le Virginie remains a place where you feel good, a bit like home, in a neighborhood that is slowly growing. To make sure, all you have to do is try it! And tonight like every Thursday, it's aperitivo featuring the Martini Fiero in its spritz version, a new must-try!
