RESTAURANT CHEZ DAVIA – NICE

A chef who preferred the world of stars, a family adventure…

Pierre Altobelli worked in the star-studded kitchens of some of France’s greatest chefs before earning his macaron in the famous red guide in Osaka. His love of his roots in Nice took over when his mother, who was in charge of the restaurant created by his grandmother Davia, decided to stop. There was no way he was going to let this family history disappear! Back to his roots for this prodigious son, who delivers, with talent and simplicity, an exquisite menu with accents of Liguro-Nico: marinated anchovies, ratatouille and its perfect egg, stockfish, farcis niçois (with lamb shoulder and sweetbreads, please!), barbajuans… Everything is perfectly mastered in this restaurant in Nice! And what about the desserts, like the Menton lemon tart or the chard pie!

LA CAVE DE LA TOUR – NICE

An emblematic place in Old Nice where the “Nissart” spirit still lives on…

Jean-Philippe Gazan took over the cellar created by his grandfather in 1947. One of the last places where you can still enjoy “la Merenda”, the local morning snack. It’s a place full of charm, with its old counter and stainless steel vats, where the regulars tease each other in true Nice style… When it comes to cooking, organic food is preferred and local produce is a must! You can enjoy stockfish, tripe à la niçoise, pissaladière and real little stuffed sausages from Nice… Not forgetting trulle (black pudding from Nice) or truccia (chard omelette). You’ll also find the largest selection of local wines in Nice. It’s 100% Nissart!

RESTAURANT LA SOCCA D’OR – NICE

A socca in the pure Nice tradition: soft, crispy and golden brown!

It’s the queen of the place! Fréderic Parola makes what is surely the best socca on the Côte d’Azur. And don’t stop there, because La Socca d’Or is a local restaurant that has become, over the years, a not-to-be-missed address for fine dining in Nice: pistou soup, peppers in oil, pissaladière, pan bagnat (with homemade bread), and so on. And at this former patissier’s, you can’t imagine a meal without a “sweet ending” with mouth-watering desserts, including one of Nice’s best chard tarts.
