Following the success of SEEN by Olivier in Sao Paulo, Lisbon, and Bangkok, the brand has set up its first location in France, opening on March 1st, 2023.
The Olivier Group continues its expansion in Europe and writes a new chapter in its history with the arrival of one of its seven restaurant concepts in the Nice Côte d’Azur area.
The SEEN by Olivier concept in Nice is located on the 6th and top floor of the brand new Anantara Plaza Nice Hotel, which opened on December 15th, 2022.
Created by restaurateur Olivier da Costa, this restaurant aims to immerse guests in a vibrant atmosphere, with a panoramic view, intimate setting, eclectic cuisine, and cocktail bar.
SEEN by Olivier Nice, with its Art Deco-inspired decor, offers a 360° view of the city and the Mediterranean Sea from both the indoor dining room and the terrace.
Here, flavors from all over the world are found, with local specialties from Nice also represented. The Executive Chef, in collaboration with local producers, highlights Niçoise specialties such as pissaladière, stuffed vegetables, snails, fish soup with rouille, and rigatoni “riviera” style.
