I love Nice as a baseline for exploring the French Riviera/Côte d'Azur because it offers the perks of a city combined with great beach access and easy trains to nearby small towns.

But the real perk: so many fantastic restaurants!

What to Try in Nice

Nice is part of the Provence region of France, so eating at any authentic Provencal restaurant is a great choice! Because of its coastal location, Nice also has its own unique food traditions. It's called cuisine Nissarde, and it combines its Provencal baseline with coastal and Italian influences.

🥗Niçoise salad: Pronounced "neese-swa," the salad is named after the city! It includes tomatoes, boiled eggs, olives and anchovies. It's a great choice on a hot day!

🥙 Pan bagnat: basically a Niçoise salad on a bun. Easy quick meal.

🫓 Socca: a chickpea pancake! It's best as a street food lunch, and it's a cheap option when you need a snack.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Available for hire

Amateur Italian, travel advisor, and adventurous eater! I’m a travel creative living in small town northern Italy, and I've been planning travel for over 15 years. I've lived on three continents and visited over 40 countries, so I'm passionate about helping travelers experience the best of a location, no matter where! I love both/and travel: I want to see the big sights AND the local hangouts, the big cities AND the small towns. I’d love to help you do it too! If you’re going to Rome for the first time, you don’t need me to tell you to see the Colosseum. But you might want me to tell you if it’s better as a guided tour or on your own, what add-on’s are worth the money, and what are the extra secret things your ticket can get you! My favorite part of travel is eating well: finding the local haunts, tasting a new wine, and trying the local dishes. Amazing food doesn't have to be expensive: sometimes the best of a place is in the street food! But if it is a splurge, I'll make sure it's worth every penny. I'd love to work with you to create the trip of your dreams!
