What La Terrasse Is
La Terrasse sits on the tenth floor of Le Meridien Nice, at 1 Promenade des Anglais, directly above the spot where the old town meets the sea. The Rooftop Guide ranks it among the highest roof terraces on the entire Promenade.
Since 2023 the kitchen runs as Peska by La Terrasse, with chef Eric Brujan cooking a sea focused menu from local producers. The bar side pours classics, spritzes and premium spirits.
Tripadvisor logs 625 reviews at 3.5. The view scores; the bill divides.
Reading the Room
Two rooms in one. A composed dining terrace on one side, an open air lounge with low seating on the other, and the Baie des Anges below both.
The tenth floor height matters. Nothing on the Promenade looks down on it.
The Menu, Edited
Who Shows Up, and When
Hotel guests, anniversary tables, and locals who bring visiting parents when the view needs to do the talking.
Sunset is the rush. The lounge fills an hour before, every clear evening from May to September.
What Regulars Say
- Tripadvisor reviewers call the rooftop a must for the panorama, with the phrase stunning view recurring across hundreds of entries.
- The Rooftop Guide notes it is one of the highest points you can drink at on the Promenade.
- The repeated complaint is price; the repeated answer is that the height is the product.
- Hotels.com lists it among the nine best terraces in Nice.
Who It Is For
- Special occasion drinks where the view is the gift.
- Seafood dinners with altitude; Peska is a destination kitchen, not an afterthought.
- Avoid on a budget. Street level Nice pours the same spritz for half the price.
Before You Go
The hotel entrance faces the Jardin Albert I, two minutes from Place Massena. Lift to ten; the lounge takes walk ins outside dinner hours.
Pair with Farago on the Roof down the Promenade for a two rooftop sunset crawl.
