Nice · Marbella

From the Côte d’Azur to the Golden Mile.

For more than three decades, Nicole Rubi’s La Petite Maison has fed the Riviera the way Nice likes to eat: generously, joyfully and always to share. Marbella is the house’s new seafront home — a white dining room, a terrace over the bay and a bar that knows how to stay up late.

À table

Niçoise cooking, made for the middle of the table.

Plates arrive « à la minute » — as soon as they are ready — so the table fills up, gets passed around and starts again. Tapenade and pissaladière with the first glass; salt-crusted sea bass for two; rigatoni with fresh summer truffle when the evening calls for it.

Le Bar

Cocktails with a Riviera accent.

A signature bar with the sea in view: spritzes for the afternoon, champagne cocktails for the sunset, a Tomatini for the brave.

Les soirées

Lunch becomes golden hour. Golden hour becomes the night.

The kitchen cooks until 23:30; the bar keeps going until one. In between there is music on the terrace, napkins in the air and a room where everyone is someone.
