Nice
Understand
Nice is the place you want to go. It is popular amongst young travellers, but also has something for absolutely anybody!
Eat
A food called "Socca" is a local speciality, as is a tuna fish sandwich called "Pan Bagnat." Other specialties include Soupe de Poisson (Fish Soup, made with chili aioli, croutons, and grated cheese), Salade Nicoise (made with seafood), and Tourtes aux Blettes (sweet tartes made with Savoy cabbage, raisins, nuts, and powdered sugar).
Check out the daily market in the Vieux Nice for fresh, local produce.
Budget
Cheap & cheerful food in Nice is hard to come by. Even the menus offered at McDonalds are between 5.50€-7€ for a sandwich, pommes frites and a soda drink.
The best deals in the centre can be found in the port area. Old Nice and all along the sea front the prices cannot be described as budget.
However, lunch-time set menus are certainly good value, if not 'cheap' per se. 10-12€ should get you two courses, often with coffee and wine, and like much of continental Europe lunches can drift happily into the afternoon.
Mid-range
Casa Mia, Rue Pontin, Old Nice. Does amazing Italian in a very homely environment. The menus around 20-25 euros offer excellent value for the service and quality.
Domaine de Lintillac, 37 Rue d'Angleterre, tel: +33-4-93885075. Specializes in duck. Main dishes are an excellent value at a little under 10 euro.
Delhi Belhi is a family owned and operated restaurant - specializes in Indian cuisine. Open daily for dinner. A-la-carte or prix-fix menu - Great curries and tandoori specialties. Fluent English also spoken here. Behind the popular cours Saleya flower market. This is a very popular restaurant so reservations are highly recommended (at least a few hours ahead).
Le Shalimar, 11 Rue Biscarra, tel: +33-4-93139578. Has tasty Indian food. The lunch menus are a good deal.
Splurge
Le Safari , 1, cours Saleya, Tel : +33 4 93 80 18 44, Fax : +33 4 93 62 62 14. Long established in the old quarter, now caters more for tourists than the locals. This reflects in the price and language spoken by those dining next to you. Overpriced compared to other local similar establishments. For a 3 course meal with wine, expect >60 Euros/head.
Oliviera, 8 Bis rue du Collet, tel: +33-4-93130645. Focus is on olive oil. Tasting of different particular oil types offered while you wait for the dishes. All dishes matched to the oil. Simple, sincere, good cuisine. Friendly service in a nice simple setting. Enjoyable experience. Main dishes: 15-20 Euro.
