These restaurants are all just outside Nice and you'll need a car (or bus) to get there.
Expensive:
In these expensive restaurants, I'd advise ordering their "Menu Desgustation", if you can handle large quantities of delicious food and are curious. This literally translates to "Tasting Menu" and usually reflects the best available and each tiny course is designed to complement the whole selection well. The advantage is not having to have the menu translated and you can almost guarantee that the food will be great. The waiter will generally go over the contents of each course to avoid your getting something that you won't like.
Editor's advice: go hungry and with a lot of time (and no children), don't fill up on the bread and be adventurous about trying lots of new things and you'll probably enjoy the various edible art forms that keep arriving at the table. Note: a Menu Degustation tends to be at least 7 small courses, spaced throughout an evening that should be accompanied by good company and conversation.
Chez Jerome.
Fabulous regional Haut Cuisine. This very imaginative restaurant is constantly changing its menu to take advantage of the seasons and probably to satisfy the creative desires of the chef. Terrace. Not recommended for children.
20, rue Comte de Cessole
06 320 La Turbie
FRANCE
La Reserve de Beaulieu
This gorgeous restaurant fully deserves the 2 Michelin stars that it has been awarded. Along with the faultless and enjoyable cuisine is wonderful relaxing service. There is nothing "stuffy" about this most perfect restaurant and everyone, including children, are made to feel completely at home. Terrace.
5, boulevard du Marechal Leclerc
06310 Beaulieu-sur-Mer
France
La Chaumiere
Wonderful rustic food served in copious quantities. Meats are perfectly BBQ-ed in the fireplace. Not specially recommended for children.

Boulevard, de l'Observatoire
06300 Nice
France
La Colombe D'Or
This famous restaurant by the medieval walled village of Saint Paul de Vence was put on the map by now famous artists who supposedly exchanged paintings for food. They have great Provencal cuisine and if you love interesting salads, then do try La Maison Hors D'Oeuvre -14 different dishes and which comes with a basket of vegetables and anchovie dip which is delicious, fresh and totally unsual, if you are not used to provencal cuisine.

L'Univers de Christian Plumail
Just outside the Old Town of Nice is this fabulous restaurant serving very sophisticated Provencal (country cooking from the south of France) cuisine. Terrace. This is probably my favorite restaurant for the price. Not recommended for children.

Keisuke Matsushima
The Japanese chef, of the same, name moved to France just 11 years ago and has created this fashionable restaurant and is successfully fusing French and Japanese cuisines for which he has earned one Michelin star. Not recommended for children.

Restaurants in the Old Town of Nice
La Voglia
This great Italian restaurant enjoyed success from the moment it opened its doors, which is not surprising considering the quality and quantity of food for the price. Desserts can require three people to finish! Come early as the place gets packed. Terrace. Highly recommended for children.
2, Rue Saint Francois de Paule,
06300 Nice
Le Safari
This restaurant serves freshly made authentic Nicoise cuisine, which is a little heavy when compared to most French restaurants in the south of France but well worth trying. Terrace. Recommended for children.
Le Safari
1 cours Saleya
06300 Nice
Tire Bouchon
Specializing in cuisine from Lyon, arguably the gastronomic capital of France, this excellent restaurant offers good value for the quality of food served. Terrace. Not recommended for children.
19 Rue de la Prefecture
06300 Nice, France
Chez Juliette
This might be one of the best value-for-money restaurants in the Old Town. One can enjoy their fairly sophisticated cuisine starting from 18 Euro for a 3 course meal. Terrace. Not recommended for children.
