Maison Joia, Organic restaurant in Musicians Quarter, Nice, France.
Maison Joia occupies a renovated former grocery store in the Musicians Quarter with art deco details and large windows. The dining space benefits from natural light throughout the day, creating an open environment for meals.
The restaurant opened in October 2023 when Julien and Laetitia Pilati transformed a specialty food store into their dining concept. The couple brought their cooking background from Brittany and Champagne to the Côte d'Azur.
The kitchen draws from relationships with local producers and uses organic ingredients that visibly shape each plate. Visitors experience the handiwork of a chef couple who connects different French regions through their food.
The restaurant welcomes guests from 10:30 on weekdays and stays open until 22:00 on Saturday, so you can visit at different times of day. Booking a table through their website is helpful to guarantee seating availability.
The couple cooks with products sourced directly from French fisheries and farms, making the origin of each ingredient felt on the plate. This direct connection to producers turns every meal into a story about French regions and seasons.
