Virginie Basselot's gastronomic restaurant at Le Negresco pairs Mediterranean cooking with the hotel's historic setting.
Le Chantecler is the gastronomic restaurant inside Le Negresco on the Promenade des Anglais. Chef Virginie Basselot leads a kitchen focused on Mediterranean ingredients and seasonal cooking, within an elaborate historic dining room.
The official menu offers a five-course Le Chant des Saveurs at €210 and an eight-course Le Chant du Coq at €280, both excluding drinks. An à-la-carte selection is also published. These prices were observed on 15 October 2026; the listed dishes reflect a seasonal menu and should not be treated as guaranteed availability for a later visit.
This is the option in the selection for diners who want the hotel's formal setting to be part of the meal. The restaurant's own presentation highlights relationships with regional producers and a wine service that can guide pairings. Check the current menu and any dietary requirements directly before reserving.
Le Negresco operates several separate restaurants. A reservation or review for La Rotonde or the beach restaurant should not be confused with Le Chantecler. The official restaurant page lists Wednesday-to-Sunday dinner bookings between 19:00 and 21:30. A summer terrace is mentioned, but that seasonal description does not establish outdoor seating for an October booking.
Highlights

Snapshot consulted on 2026-10-15
BRA-1.0 combines verified public ratings: Google 50%, TheFork 30%, Tripadvisor 20%. Ratings are converted to a ten-point scale and weights are renormalised over eligible sources. At least two platforms are required, each with at least 30 reviews and a combined total of 100 reviews. The result is rounded to one decimal place, with halves rounded up.
Review totals are platform counts, not necessarily unique people. Different source coverage limits comparisons between restaurants. This score does not represent a visit by our team or an award. Historical editorial ratings remain separate.
