Castel Plage in Nice

Food was cold, service was horrible. Staff seemed annoyed and unappreciative. Better places with better food around the corner. Definitely more aimed at tourists.

We can seriously not understand the good reviews here.We arrived, someone took our order. 15 minutes later, the Oysters (for startersand the mains came at the same time. Given the speed of everything, this could have been fast food and that is how it tasted. We were in less than an hour.We mentioned that we were not happy and they offered free Limoncello. They said it will go quick as we were about to leave. 10 minutes later nothing arrived, so we left.All in all, I would not eat here if it was free.Having said that, the manager was friendly and the view over the beach is amazing. For a drink you cant do much wrong here.

Merci beaucoup pour le magnifique dîner !!!!!Amazing location! Fantastic service! Delicious food! I had the slipper lobster with linguini and my husband had the tartar. Both melted in your mouth. The atmosphere, decor and music were all great. Highly recommend to others and we will definitely return when in Nice next time.

Best place on the plage to enjoy a beautiful afternoon. Chairs are 25€ (no complaints), food and drinks are very reasonable given the context. Waves can be a bit crazy depending on the weather.Most importantly, Baba, our server, was the highlight of our trip. He was so positive, fun, engaging and overall made our time spent here an absolute joy for 4 days in a row. Ask for him and you will understand. Á bientôt !

Favourite restaraunt in Nice! Gorgeous beach front location and excellent service.We ordered the oysters & octopus salad to start, and the blue lobster linguine and sea bream as mains. Great portion size and delicious food! They had ipad menus which we also liked. Our waiter was also very friendly and prompt with everything we asked.Would recommend and will come back when we return to Nice!Thank you Castel Plage <3

Perfect place to spend a day at the beach 🏖️!

Beef tartare was not like beef tartare should be. Service was slow. They told us the nice tables by the water were reserved, but afterwards put people there that also didnt reserve. I guess they just lied to us so they could attract more people. Food was in general overpriced. Textbook tourist trap.

Amazing location and nice set-up. The staff were friendly and laid out our towels on our sun beds to reserve them whilst we ate our lunch. Food was nice. Overall good experience and would recommend!

Ceviche was good, but beef almost inedible. Little pricey. Ordered a dessert from the menu, but when the rest of the table got their dessert - it turned out that they didn’t have mine and they forgot my coffee. At that price the service was a bit inattentive.

We had such a lovely day at Castel beach club! Baba and team made the experience fantastic and very enjoyable. The drinks and food are more expensive than within the rest of Nice but we expected that going to a beach club. Definitely can recommend and day here!

Excellent service! Great food and drinks! We came once and had to come back! Highly recommend.

Lovely private beach in the city center. The staff is friendly and willing to make your day as pleasant as possible. Shoutout to Baba and Ramses who made our day relaxing.Note that you should book your beds a day or move in advance.

I loved Castel beach club. The service is friendly and efficient, the sunbeds super comfortable and the position is great. Most of all, the sea is beautiful here. Absolutely recommended!

We were there and had reserved sun beds - two of a total of 4 wanted to sit in the restaurant to drink something. As an answer we got an unfriendly "No!". It is not possible to sit down before 12 oclock in the restaurant because there is no service (to drink??After we had asked several times we were pushed away very arrogantly by hand gesture. Confirms again that Nice is not the place of openness and niceness.

Do not go here! The restaurant is characterized by arrogance and rules from the 18th century. You can not sit down in the restaurant before 12 oclock. You are not allowed to have a drink unless you eat something. You are moved to the side with arrogant hand movements from above when you complain. How you can have so little business sense is an absolute mystery to me in 2022.

One of the nice beach clubs in Nice in a great location. However, it is absolutely necessary to book in advance. Only two stars because the lady at the reception is more than arrogant and not welcoming at all.

The food is very tasty, the environment is very nice, but the tall lady in public relations is very rude.

We had dinner here, and it is very good! The food was great and the waitresses were very nice. It was dining right at the sea, with a great view!

Beautiful place. I loved the food and the service was incredible.

Really beautiful, nice beach but with stones not sand , if you want to stay here at the beach make reservation before you come !!!

I have spent parts of my last 15 summers in Nice and tried nearly all private beaches. At first I hung out at castel because it was the nearest to my apartment but after some lesser experiences there (food and bathroomdecided to try out the other beaches. After five years I’m back and I am really impressed by the cleanliness, the service, the staff and the food. They have really made a step up, so to speak. Good job!! See you in September. 😃

We loved Castel beach, everything was nice and clean. Position of the beach is great. Everyone working on Castel beach was friendly and proffesional. Food was great!! Will come again for sure ❤️

Nice view. Good service. The food is good, although limited choice. There isnt a lot of space between the deckchairs and extremely difficult to access the beach.

So nice service! Good prices! Lovely waitress an American girl I think her name was becky. But defently the best dinner I had in two weeks in the French Riviera

Overall the service here is great. Staff could be a little more attentive but when you get their attention they are fast and exact with your order. Beach is private with matting to walk on. Will definetly be coming back.

Nice location but service is horrible we waited two hours to get our drinks. They don’t care if you get dehydrated under the sun. Best to yell at the waiter to get their attention

This beach looks chic and edgy when you look at it from a far but is absolutely dirty and in decay when you are there. The sunbeds we were on were absolutely disgusting, full of stains and torn and the umbrella was all rusty and dirty (see pictures attached). Also, there was almost no room in between the sunbeds: If i extended my arm it was on my unknown neighbor’s face, so absolutely no privacy.Staff was kind of rude when they were acknowledging us. We felt more like in an expensive tourist parking than on a chic relaxing beach. Obviously won’t go back and certainly do not recommend!

Beach and chairs were great! Staff was rude and it was incredibly difficult to order anything or even get water. There are much better options for private beaches in the area.

Nothing sparkling but the fact that it is on the beach and has a nice view.We had a 3 steps menu. But desert was not to choose, we couldn’t have millefeuille even though was on the menu.Food was ok’ish, trying to make a value for the money. Staff was ok, but our waiter was distracted or ignorant.

Great atmosphere average food

a bit steep to walk in, but good service and nice beach/water. prices are okay

Wonderful location far from the crowd. Amazing staff and service quality. Bravo to the organization.

Great service and great location. You get what you pay for, and this is no exception. This is the best private beach in the area to spend a day eating, tanning and swimming. The good food is a plus. Come in the morning and spend a day here. You wont regret it.

The service here was so terrible that it became comical. Dont be fooled by the instagram location, its not worth a heat stroke or dehydration because you will not receive your order.We arrived on a hot sunny day and were looking forward to spending the afternoon on the beach with some refreshing drinks. After we spent 30 min trying to flag down a server, we finally got someone to take our order of 2 drinks and fries. After waiting another 30 min in the boiling sun, we followed up. More time passed and we followed up at least 5 more times. We finally got the drinks (however it wasnt the drinks we orderedand no fries with the server saying he doesnt want to get them.Definitely a beautiful spot on the beach, but not worth the headache of chasing staff to get a basic order or worth the beach bar prices.We ordered 2 drinks and followed up at least 5 times before getting the wrong order.

Beautiful beach club and restaurant at the best part of the beach!Staff were lovely- thank you Edson, Logan and Lionel! - and the food was fantastic! Even when busy on a Sunday it is a relaxing spot. We will definitely come back!

Obviously spectacular. But everything has to be ordered from inside. However service and food both are good enough.

Takes time to get things. Alot of People getting wrong orders, takes food away from tabels whilst they are eating from said food. Complains when you want to remove a coffe from the order after waiting 40 min for it. Otherwise nice food and good portions. Beautiful view aswell.

I very frustrating situation. Planned a birthday celebration at Castel. Booked cake ready to bring on the day and 10 people to celebrate the entire day, consume party. Not until they informed us that we cant bring cake from outside. Or we pay for cake at Castel or nothing done, RESULT CANCEL we went to another beach because it is just surreal.

Food was good, but you will be paying a bit more for the location. Staff was very friendly and even moved an umbrellato provide more shade.

Lovely setting for lunch or dinner on the waterfront. Food was excellent and staff helpful.

The beach is really beautiful, but you can’t go out during your stay on the beach, and if you want to eat or drink something you have to order only there and can’t go out, even if you have to see some friends out there.. ’cause it’s the policies of the place! Anyways the food is spectacular and the young blonde waiter is doing a really good job with his smile and his good-word forevryone...he was the only one!!

All beaches should be like this! Rent the towels, rent a spot with an umbrella and lounge chairs ànd have people bring you too notch drinks and food. Clean bathroom nearby, restaurant and bar. Cant beat it

Castel Plage offers a unique atmosphere with its colonial interiors and refined boiserie.The audience is mixed - gay, straight and families - well distributed in different areas (so no kids screaming if you want to enjoy your tan). The cuisine is also excellent, with a generous offering of tasty, gourmet plates.I’m not giving 5 star just for two reasons:1. They close at 18.30 (forcing you to miss the best relaxing hour for sun)2. A bottle of Evian is 9 euro, also at lunch. It means that water here is more expensive than in a michelin starred restaurant. Quite too much.

Not COVID safe as the deck chairs are far too close to one another, we felt extremely uncomfortable. As far as we could see management are not taking enough COVID precautions. There should be significantly less lounge chairs on the beach than they have currently (probably 20% too many at the moment). Better and safer options available on the Promenade.

Beautiful private beach. Great service. It was nice to be able to enjoy the beach as someone visiting Nice for only a few days, they provided towels, chairs, and umbrellas for way less than we could buy in town. Would highly recommend!

Tasty food and supertasy dessert, in this case a fondant that was perfectly made. Large portions. Very friendly and attentive personel.The beach? A bit steep and nothing for small children or if you have trouble moving.Beautiful place.

Very attentive personnel. One of the best beaches in town. Delicious food. Better reserve beforehand during the season (especially on weekends).

2019 review Castel Plage, new and improved, but at a price.The restaurant has been upgraded all round. Meal quality is a step above where it used to be and compared to the rest of the other Nice beach restaurants, the decor has had a refresh, the service staff were all fast and efficient professionals ( average on our last visit was a 40 year old pro guy rather than 20something year old part-timerand the kitchen was humming. The lunch service was running like an impressive well oiled machine which is a big complement. The only downside with the new positioning was price, which has increased significantly, and is closer to Monaco/St Tropez beach prices now, eg mains 20-40, pint of beer 11, which is an unwelcome change for Nice.2016. Never had a bad meal here. Its a good place to laze the day away on a chaise lounge or come for a beach-side lunch. As its at the end of the beach with almost a small cove, the sea can be calmer for swimming.

Excellent location and views. Service and food were good. Due to the large size of restaurant with a high volume of guests, I felt lost in the crowd and service was a little slow at times.Overall a good experience.

This is the private beach i was looking for! Good reception, and very professional waiter who are always here for you. The equipment is new and Clean. They didnt have a Big menu for food but maybe its better to have less and fresh. For having test several private beach in Nice, this one offers a good prestation as a restaurant of beach. Quantity was Big and food was tasty. I highly recommend this beach Also for the view on all "baie des anges"
