Closed

When we went by, there is a notice on the door they are closed. When you Google map Utopia, it now says permanently closed.

Hard to rate something you haven’t tried.

Amazing vegan food

Oh what a gem. This place has a vegan cheese board, excellent pizza and pasta. So so good. The waiters speak English and are very friendly and have a good humour. All in all a great evening.

Pros: Vegan cheese board, Really friendly, Lovely atmosphere

Delicious takeaway

I was too tired to sit for a meal, so I ordered takeaway online. Order was ready super quick and was DELICIOUS vegan pizza. Their “mozzarella” was to die for.

Very good!

I’m a very awkward customer when it comes to Italian food, so the staff’s helpfulness and determination to find something I could eat was highly appreciated.

We had the two gnocchi dishes and they were both very nice (especially the Parmesan). The Dubai cheesecake was a bit rich for me but also nice. Great vegan restaurant.

Excellent restaurant

Pizzas et pâtes délicieuses (je n’ai pas goûté le reste), assiettes très bien présentées, personnel très bienveillant et gentil. C’est un plaisir de trouver un vrai resto italien mais 100% vegan.

Delicious food but very expensive

The food was delicious especially the Carbonara which was one of the best vegan carbonaras I’ve ever had, however it was pretty expensive for what it was and the service was pretty slow but the restaurant was full. I would go again.

Filling and Unusual

Our meal at Utopia wasn’t cheap (which is very standard for Nice) and the menu was a bit confused but overall our meal was delicious. Staff really friendly (although not really enough of them to keep up with how busy it was). We were stuffed and couldn’t finish our pizza so got to take it home with us.
It would be a real shame if this place closed as others have said it will, but it seems a lot of the vegan places in Nice have closed which is such a shame.

Pros: Extensive all vegan menu, Lovely hard working staff, Yummy fresh cooked food

Cons: Bit pricey (this is very standard in Nice), Service a bit chaotic when busy , Might be closing!!

Refreshing stuff

This place was very close to our stay. But, we had to make sure to get there on time as their working hours/days are a bit limited.
We were quite confused since we didn't want to have mock meat, as I have always been a vegetarian. One of the servers who spoke English understood my concern and we finally chose the Contadina pizza, which she assured us was a good choice.
To my surprise, I loved it. Alongside, we also had the cereal fritters, which felt like a unique dish to us on its own.
Wanted to revisit, but they were shut again.
Advice : Please check their working time before visiting.

Pros: Food taste, Polite staff

Good pizza

Nice service and good food. They even have a four cheese pizza (which was a bit overwhelming).
They seem to be closing in the next months, so go there until you have the chance

Amazing pizza and lasagna

We went here for my birthday and they served me a perfect pizza and aperol spritz and the staff was very friendly and it was a neat and clean space to dine in. The prices are decent and the flavour and quality is definitely high! They make their own bacon and ham but also use products from Beyond Meat and La Vie. It is labelled on which dishes this is the case.
I got the primavera pizza and my husband got the Beyond sausage and potato white pizza and my mum got lasagna. We wire all very pleased with our food! We will definitely come back when we return to Nice!

Pros: Great quality, Good creativity, Nice drinks and atmosphere

Really good!

We came here twice because we enjoyed it, and there are not many fully vegan options left in Nice. Both nights we had a good meal. Great pizza crust and creative pizzas. I personally do not love beyond meat and find it left a strong flavour where they used it, but my husband loved. Definitely try the cheese plate!! The restaurant itself could use some updates to the space, but it was still a great place to visit.

Pros: Creative pizzas, Delicious homemade cheese, Fully vegan

Grateful for this restaurant!

With very limited vegan restaurants to choose from in the area this place was a blessing. The chocolate cheesecake was 🔥

Mostly pizza, but confirm ingredients

We had a super delicious cheese board and my partner had a delicious veggie plate (croquettes, salad, mixed roasted veg). I ordered the Diavolo pizza which said it had house made mozzarella, tomato basil and salame, however I was served a pizza with plain beyond meat hamburger. Thankfully they didn’t charge for it (I have grown to dislike the flavor of beyond meat hamburger), but they could have let me know when I was ordering that it would be served with a different meat substitute (and one that is nothing like salami). We had some quite good vegan salume at other vegan restaurants, so it can be done, but instead they’re using the least tasty fake meat, and trying to pass it off. The rest of the food was good.

Pros: Multiple pizzas, Good cheese board

Cons: Not much other than pizza, Passes off beyond meat ground beef as salami

Delicious 100% vegan restaurant

We were happy to find a fully vegan Italian restaurant. The prices are what you expect from Nice. I had the cheese tray and la pistacchio pizza.

Pros: All vegan

Good vegan restaurant for pizza

We were super happy to find a 100% vegan restaurant in Nice.
The ambience and Service people were exceptionally nice.
The food was good - could have been a bit better with the steep price though (pizza quatre fromage). However, the passion spritz was very tasty.
The lemon cheesecake was also delicious - i just didnt like the raw slices of lemon and lime as decoration, not sure what to do with these.

Overrated

We went there a few times with my partner to try different options and gave them a chance (also there’s not a lot of fully vegan restaurants in Nice) but the food is unfortunately overrated at this place… Prices are excessively high. The food is alright but nothing exceptional (especially for the prices charged).
The positive note is that they have changed their dough and it no longer takes half the pizza and they stopped charging for tap water (not legal in France).

Délicieux restaurant italien 🇮🇹

🇮🇹 Restaurant fidèle à la tradition italienne en proposant des premiers plats, deuxième plats, etc.
📜 La carte offre un vaste choix.
🧀 Coup de cœur pour les fromages végétaux faits maison et absolument délicieux !
🍄‍🟫 Les pâtes et pizzas à base de crème et champignons sont à tomber !
🪑 La salle est spacieuse et agréable.
👍 Un des rares restaurants vegans à Nice, qui vaut largement le détour !

Pros: Fromages végétaux maisons, Qualité et saveurs des plats, Salle spacieuse

Cons: Manque un couteau à pizza

Go for the carbonara and the panacotta

My first impression of the food here was not that great but we went back and this time I had the Carbonara and panacotta and they were fantastic- pasta went so quickly and the panacotta was the best vegan one I’ve had.


Original review -

Considering the price the food here should have much more flavour
Wide variety of options but I found the food lacked much flavour- i had to add quite a lot of salt.

Don’t get the cornucopia pizza or gnocchi

Vegan pizzas

One of the very few vegan restaurants in Nice. Unfortunately, veggies are not part of their menu. It's mainly pizzas and dishes with lots of carbs. The pizzas are delicious though and even the dough itself is super tasty. The black forest pie was very nicely arranged on the plate and delicious.
Two things that I didn't like were that both times we visited last week, the staff cleaned something, or at least it smelled like they were using cleaning products, which was quite unpleasant. The other thing was that the menu isn't always that clear. E.g. I would assume that the Saltimburger has sage in it, however it wasn't written in the menu.

Big selection of vegan food

The pizza was not especially good, but it had a nice dough and good optics. I had the cornucopia pizza, which was described as a cone pizza. A bit more of staffage than taste for my bit, particularly the meat balls which were kind of more like falafels. The cheese was also not the best I have had. My friend had the chefs selection of gnocchi, and they were satisfied.

Leider mehr Schein als Sein

Tolle Idee – rein veganes Restaurant in Nizza! Leider enttäuscht das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis: sehr hohe Preise, spärlicher Belag, Geschmack durchschnittlich. Hoffe auf Verbesserungen, denn das Konzept ist wertvoll!

Es ist wirklich schwer, ein rein veganes Restaurant an der Côte d’Azur kritisch zu bewerten – gerade in einer Region, in der vegane Optionen nach wie vor Mangelware sind. Allein die Tatsache, dass es Utopia gibt, ist eigentlich schon ein Grund zur Freude. Umso bedauerlicher ist es, dass mein Besuch leider enttäuschend war.

Die Preise sind für mich kaum nachvollziehbar: Eine Pizza für über 22 €, dazu ein Softdrink für 6 €, da ist man schnell bei knapp 30 € – und das bei eher durchschnittlicher Qualität. Die „Porcini & Salsiccia“-Pizza etwa war nicht nur sehr spärlich belegt, sondern die selbstgemachte vegane „Käsesoße“ hatte geschmacklich leider gar nichts mit Käse zu tun – eher eine neutrale, etwas schleimige Textur, die das Erlebnis eher geschmälert hat.

Beim zweiten Besuch hatte ich das Gericht Côte de Bluff, das zwar nett angerichtet war, aber aus nicht mehr als einem Sojafilet und stark übersalzenen Kartoffelspalten bestand. Keine Beilage, kein Salat – dafür wieder über 22 €. Ich bin grundsätzlich bereit, für gute vegane Küche angemessene Preise zu zahlen, aber hier stimmt das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis für mich leider nicht.

Was ich mir wünsche:
• etwas mehr Großzügigkeit beim Belag
• eine bessere Auswahl bzw. Überarbeitung der veganen Käsealternativen
• und vor allem: fairere Getränkepreise

Ich hoffe sehr, dass Utopia sich in Zukunft in diesen Punkten weiterentwickelt, denn das Konzept ist wichtig und wertvoll – gerade in dieser Region. Für mich persönlich war es aber leider kein Ort, den ich erneut Mal besuchen würde.

Utopia lives up to its name and reputation

Amazing. Every dish we had was delicious and every dish we saw served made us want to return. Absolutely remarkable. The servers were also friendly and welcoming, even though the place was nicely full.

Pros: Delicious food, Beautiful presentation , Friendly servers
