I plan to stay at hotel negresco for christmas.What kind of facilities will be available, will christmas dinner be served.Or would there be another option in the area.Any hints or tips much appreciated.

In France there is usually a special premium menu for special days like Christmas Eve and New Years Eve - not experienced but I recall my eyes watering at the prices
|||
There are loads of Xmas day menus available - at the Negresco and loads of other places around Nice
Special Xmas eve menus are generally more expensive than Xmas day lunch time or dinner
There should be a selection of menus available some time end of November , beginning december and i%26#39;d advise booking a place that has a good menu a bit in advance

Thanks for your reply.Would be interested in looking into the menus at other places as well as the negresco.Where would i look for them.Hope i can ask again nearer the time.Thanks again
|||
Am looking into this for a friend.My eyes would probably water too, as regards the prices.As its christmas they want to be sure they have something nice to eat thanks again

The past couple of years there has been a list of restaurants doing festive menus from he tousist information in NIce -unfortunately its a bit hidden away on the site
Anyway, once its available i will post the link.

Negresco has many clientele with deep pockets - witness a recent (false alarm) bomb-scare turfed out one Jean Paul Gaultier among the clients (pictured in the papers).
If your friends have deep pockets fine, we are talking around a hundred euro a head plus. My attention has always been drawn by the more foodie-attracting restaurant Christian Plumail%26#39;s L%26#39;Univers in the av Jean Jaures. The menus on festival dates are works of art in themselves. Similar prices to Negresco but I suspect a league up.
But everywhere will have special menus for the day - and most will be fully booked in advance. What your friends don%26#39;t want to do is to %26quot;wing it%26quot; - that way lies a pizza, or burger and frites.

Have another question , you are all going to be sick of me.One person in the party is a vegetarian,what options would be available for her.If you could also suggest an alternative hotel tthat would be great .You know three women together always changing their minds.thanks
|||
I always ask %26quot;vegetarians%26quot; how do they know plants don%26#39;t have feelings too? I can%26#39;t accommodate picky people - life complicated enough as it is.

Most places will have veggie options to some degree but the veggie should aware that foie gras , oysters, quail etc etc are likely to be on the omnivore festive menus
