Two cities. Two points of view. No restaurant pays to be here.
Behind the algorithm, two experts who test, verify and select every address.
Masha Hedo
Nice
A former restaurateur and the founder of Seoresto, Masha has spent 18 years in the restaurant world. She knows the tables of the Côte d'Azur as well as what goes on behind them — and can tell when an address is truly worth the detour.

"We'd had enough of sending Google Maps links to our friends. So we built the guide we wished existed: personal, alive and genuinely reliable."
An address is good. Knowing what to order there is better.
For every restaurant we give you our verdict, the dish to choose and the tip you won't find on Google.
Le Plongeoir
Nice, Le Port
« A table perched on a rock out at sea: you come for the setting, you stay for the Mediterranean cooking »
What to order : The seasonal menu, no hesitation
Average budget : around €60 per person
Insider tip : Book the table right at the edge of the rock: everything else is secondary
Bistrot d’Antoine
Nice, Vieux-Nice
« The French bistro at its most honest: a short blackboard menu, well-chosen wines, zero showing off »
What to order : The stuffed courgette flowers, then the hand-cut beef tartare
Average budget : around €40 per person
Insider tip : Start with the courgette flowers and let the waiter pick the wine
"I asked for a romantic but not stuffy restaurant in Montmartre. Three good options, the dish to order and nothing to sift through."
Léa — Paris
The Curator
"The advice on the best time to go completely changed the experience. It's the kind of detail Google never gives you."
Thomas — Nice
Le Bon Vivant
"Finally, recommendations that understand my budget, my mood and who I'm going out with. I choose in five minutes instead of spending the whole evening on it."
Sofia — Paris
L'Indécis Chronique
You have questions. We already have the answers.
Le Guide is currently available in Paris and Nice. More cities will gradually join the selection.
Google gives you thousands of results and leaves the sorting to you. Le Guide recommends a handful of hand-picked addresses, matched to your taste and to what you feel like right now.
No. Every address is chosen, tested and verified by our team. A restaurant can also leave the Guide if its quality no longer lives up to the standard.
Our assistant does not search the internet freely. It only recommends restaurants that are in our closed database and selected by our team.
You can discover your foodie archetype and receive a restaurant selection matched to your profile, free of charge.
No restaurant pays to appear in Le Guide. Your subscription funds our independent selection, our tastings and the constant updating of the addresses.
The Pass Visiteur gives you access to the Guide for 7 days. Le Club gives you access to the Guide for 6 or 12 months, along with the perks and experiences reserved for members.
Every perk is listed on the restaurant's page: a dish on the house, a signature cocktail, a treat from the chef, an exclusive experience… Simply show your membership card.
Yes. You can talk naturally to the assistant in French, English, Russian or any other available language.
The full amount of the plan you choose is paid in one go for the whole period. The monthly prices shown are there only to give you an equivalent.
You can turn off renewal at any time. Your access stays active until the end of the period you have already paid for.
If you join the Club again later, the price applied will be the one in force at that time: your old price cannot be guaranteed.
Your next restaurant shouldn't be picked at random.
In Paris or in Nice, just tell us what you are looking for. Le Guide recommends the right tables — and explains why they are made for you.
