Z Restaurant Tapas, Mediterranean tapas restaurant near Promenade des Anglais, Nice, France
Z Restaurant Tapas is a tapas restaurant in Nice serving about forty different small plates with Mediterranean and Spanish influences. The menu features ceviche, marinated chicken skewers, and cured ham, all prepared in an open kitchen visible to diners.
The restaurant's name comes from explorer Percy Fawcett, who searched for a legendary city in the Amazon region in the early 1900s and called it Z. This naming choice links the spirit of exploration to contemporary dining.
The place mixes Spanish tapas customs with local Mediterranean cooking styles visible through the open kitchen work. You can see how both traditions shape each dish as it is prepared.
You can choose between different seating options: counter spots facing the kitchen, heated terrace areas with sea views, or cozy banquette seating. The space works well for both small groups and solo diners, with a relaxed service style.
You can watch cooks prepare your dishes directly in the open kitchen, seeing exactly how they work with ingredients and techniques. This closeness to food preparation creates a direct connection between diners and the craft of cooking.
