Do we need to book?
It's strongly recommended. The cellar is small (50 people at most), and 14 February is among the most requested nights of the year. Book 2-3 weeks ahead to be sure of a table.
Les Folies d'Edmonde
Valentine's Day in Nice
Valentine's Day in Nice, in a 17th-century cellar: a table for two beneath the vault, low light and quiet music. Free bookings open in January.
FAQ — Valentine's Day at Les Folies
Is there a dinner on site?
We're a cocktail bar, not a restaurant: we don't serve food. But the neighboring restaurants (OKA Nice, Fish Bar 2.0, Etna Rosso) are on the same street, and they also deliver to the cellar: you dine at Les Folies and pay the restaurant for the meal. Many couples have dinner first and come here afterward, or the other way around.
Is there a Valentine's special menu?
The usual menu stays in place, with one creation devised for the evening. No set menu and no Valentine's surcharge: you order what you like, at your own pace.
Is there entertainment or loud music?
Not on 14 February. We keep the music low in the background, so couples can talk quietly. It's deliberately calmer than usual: no DJ and no concert on Valentine's evening.
Can we make a special request (anniversary, marriage proposal)?
Of course. Mention it when you book: we adjust the table, prepare a small gesture and keep a note or a gift safe until the moment comes. For a marriage proposal, let us know a few days ahead so we can prepare the moment with care.
Do you accept groups (two couples, four friends…)?
Yes, but 14 February is intentionally geared toward couples, and the atmosphere is calmer. For a group of friends, another February evening will suit you better. If you're set on this date, mention it when you book so we can adapt the table.
