Heritage & tradition
Slavic Nice has always had a table
Our name is a tribute — to the winters the Romanovs spent on the Riviera, and to the art of hospitality that travelled with them.
When the Riviera spoke Slavic
From the 1850s onwards, the Slavic aristocracy made Nice its winter shore. Empress Alexandra Feodorovna set the fashion, Tsarevich Nicholas stayed here, and the city filled with villas, churches and salons where tea was poured from samovars facing the Mediterranean. St Nicholas Cathedral — the largest Orthodox cathedral in Western Europe — still stands as its majestic witness.
A cuisine of memory, produce from here
Roi Alexandre was born of a simple conviction: great Slavic cuisine deserves great French produce. Our meat is 100% French-origin, our vegetables come from local markets, and everything — from the borscht to the Napoleon cake — is made in-house, every day. The recipes themselves have not changed since the imperial tables.
Slavic hospitality, the spirit of Nice
With us, lunch can last all afternoon and dinner rarely ends without a story. Our team welcomes you in French, English and Slavic — and the terrace on Rue de France does the rest: the sun, the passers-by, the sea a hundred metres away.
Caviar and wine, our two treasures
We wanted two signatures: caviar served by the rules of the art — blinis, crème fraîche, champagne — and a cellar that unites Georgia, cradle of wine for 8,000 years, with the finest French appellations. Two worlds, one table.
