The story
Since 2015, the philosophy of Peixes has brought a fresh perspective to the Nice dining scene. At Peixes Bonaparte, located at 5 rue Bonaparte, the team focuses on one clear idea: modernising fish. The restaurant is driven by a young, cosmopolitan team whose experiences span prestigious establishments around the world.
The atmosphere is designed to feel both like home and a world away. The space opens towards the sea, creating a fitting backdrop for a cuisine that is both refined and inviting. Plates are meant to be shared, making it a natural spot for a leisurely dinner with friends.
The kitchen at Peixes Bonaparte takes a bold approach, with one foot in South America and the other in the Mediterranean. The menu revolves around fish and seafood, predominantly served raw to highlight the quality of the ingredients. The chef works with ceviche, carpaccio, tartare, and tataki, pairing them with surprising textures and flavours.
The menu changes every two months, a reflection of the restaurant’s commitment to short supply chains and seasonal produce. This South American seafood cuisine is complemented by a carefully selected wine list, with a strong focus on natural wines—a passion of the team and a core part of the Peixes philosophy. The goal is to surprise and share these values with every visit.
Peixes Bonaparte has earned a Michelin Recommended distinction, a testament to its consistent quality and thoughtful approach to seafood. The award underscores the restaurant’s success in elevating simple, fresh ingredients into something memorable, without pretension.
