The hotel offers a wide range of choices for dining, including the Bleu Citron restaurant which combines Provenal traditions with a hint of the exotic, Restaurant d'Et on the roof terrace with an outstanding panoramic view of the Baie des Anges, the Promenade Caf, the Absolut Bar, and a bar around the swimming pool.

The Terrace occupies the entire roof area of the Radisson SAS Hotel, Nice. Completely renovated, it is now the largest panoramic terrace in Nice with a magnificent view over  the Promenade des Anglais and the Baie des Anges.
