KALŌS

We were a bit jet-lagged on our first night in Nice and just wanted something casual but tasty; and Kalos looked like the perfect spot with great reviews. The location is stunning. I was a little worried it might feel too touristy, but we were welcomed like old friends. Even though it was full, they found us a table in just 5 minutes. Such a warm, family-run vibe! And the food? So good! We left completely stuffed. The service was super friendly, the place was spotless, and everything we ordered was full of flavor. What more can you ask for? I had the chicken pita, and the others went for the kofte pita. The Greek salad was also really fresh, but the warm pita wraps were the real standout. And don’t forget the house made french fries! Wow! We loved everything about it and would totally recommend it. Such a great find!

We had the douvlaki chicken bowl The food was so tasty we actually went back for a second round! Maybe it’s the student in us, but we really loved it. The chicken was super flavorful — definitely recommend if you like Mediterranean food or grew up with it. €14 for a full plate, and everything including drinks came to just €34. So worth it!

Highly recommended! The staff are always friendly and professional, even on very high-pressure nights. The restaurant has plenty of outdoor seating with a quick turnover, so don’t be put off if it looks busy. From the very first bite, you can tell the food is fresh and genuine. The use of spices is thoughtful, never overpowering, always perfectly balanced.

The restaurant is located on a lively street full of bars and cafés. The food was fresh, delicious, and reasonably priced compared to other places nearby. We ordered the grill plate (€17.50) and the kefta (€14), both of which were very good. I definitely recommend this restaurant.

Review: Kalōs – Honest Mediterranean Flavors with a Warm Family Welcome 📍 11 Rue Bonaparte, 06300 Nice, France As someone accustomed to critically reviewing restaurants across Europe—and currently ranked in the top 10 for food reviews in Copenhagen—I arrived at Kalōs with both curiosity and high expectations. Nestled in the charming Rue Bonaparte of Nice’s vibrant old quarter, this Greek-inspired bar-restaurant immediately stands out for its relaxed yet polished atmosphere and genuinely warm service. I’m here with my family, and from the very beginning, the staff made us feel welcome without being intrusive—a rare balance that deserves mention. The menu is clear, compact, and inviting, with a focus on Mediterranean classics and house specialties. We opted for a well-rounded selection to test both their plates and signature bites. What we ordered: • Assiettes: • Kefta (Beef) – Served with hummus, aubergine caviar, and a crisp Greek salad. The kefta was beautifully spiced, juicy, and balanced well with the creamy spreads. • Souvlaki (Chicken) – Perfectly grilled and tender, subtly marinated. A safe but satisfying choice, ideal for younger diners too. • House Specialty: • Parsley and Feta Pastry – Delicate layers of phyllo filled with fresh herbs and creamy feta. Rich but not heavy, and a perfect starter or side. A standout bite. • Drinks: • Local beer (crisp and refreshing). • A glass of sparkling wine, dry and well-chosen, pairing nicely with both meats and mezze-style sides. First impressions: The quality of the ingredients is evident, and everything tasted honest and freshly prepared. The balance between seasoning and authenticity is well achieved—nothing felt overly touristic or gimmicky. The portion sizes were generous without being overwhelming, and pricing felt fair for both location and quality. Service: Friendly, attentive, and genuinely accommodating toward families with children—something I value deeply when dining with mine. No pretension, just honest hospitality. ⸻ Overall Verdict: 4.5/5 ⭐️ Kalōs is a hidden gem in Nice’s bustling center—a place where Mediterranean comfort food is served with intention and kindness. I look forward to discovering more from the menu, and I hope the flavors continue to surprise as pleasantly as the atmosphere did. Definitely a recommended stop for travelers who value both taste and treatment.
