We managed to get a spot on the little sidewalk patio, later in the evening. Fabulous food. I had the chicken cordon bleu which was amazing. Totally recommend for a great dining experience.

A limited menu of French local cuisine. The Chicken Cordon Bleu and beef ravioli were delightful. The food was good because it was thoughtfully prepared from delicious ingredients. Served piping hot which we love.Atmosphere: Small room. Cozy. Not fancy. Probably a touch loud when busy. But perfect place to meet family, friends or a fun date. Warm and welcoming.Service: A high-light. Helpful and accommodating to non-French speakers. Prompt but not intrusive. The welcoming theme continues.Price: Not cheap...but what great value. The food and service alone are a deal. Wine selection was limited but very reasonably priced. If we return to Nice Restaurant Davia is on our must-visit list. A date, family and friends spot. Locals galore too.

At least a bib gourmand, maybe not worth a Michelin star but I've seen stars being awarded in London for much else. The menu' is solid, with a good range of appetisers extremely good. Had the stuffed sardines (good balanced between fried and the delicacy of the fish), ratatouille (ok), the terrine maison (good), ravioli nicoise (excellent, a lot of sauce but it doesn't make the dish feeling "too heavy") and tasted the beef fillet that my friend took (a big chunk but surprisingly melting in the mouth: very good!). You can find fancier places but Davia has a laid back atmosphere, an attentive service and every dish in the menu seems well presented (in a traditional way) and well executed...a family restaurant worth a small detour.
