Nice

The most accessible city in the South of France — warm, easy in its skin, and full of good museums and better restaurants.

Eat

  1. La Merenda Vintage charm and the most authentic cooking in Nice — stuffed sardines, ratatouille, the local canon without apology. Old Nice
  2. La Petite Maison An absolute classic since the 1980s — the room to see and be seen in, with cooking that holds the attention anyway. Quartier du Port
  3. Le Plongeoir Lunch perched on rock pillars over the Mediterranean — a location with few equals anywhere, food that keeps its side of the bargain, and the water below for afterwards. Quartier du Port
  4. Oliviera Built around the house olive oil — pressed for the kitchen, poured over the Mediterranean cooking, and sold in the small shop to take home. Old Nice
  5. Chez Davia Family-run southern cooking with a vintage feel — chef Pierre Altobelli carrying on his mother Alda’s legacy, warmly. Jean-Médecin

Stay

  1. Hotel Amour Nice The Parisian transplant a stone’s throw from the water — a small rooftop pool for morning dips, a courtyard for breakfast, and one of the better beach clubs in the city under the same name. Gambetta
  2. Hôtel du Couvent Earthy tones and minimalist calm on the hillside — a former convent turned into a piece of tranquillity that makes one night feel insufficient. Old Nice

Do

  1. Coco Beach White rock, clear water and swimmers who mean it — no shaded loungers, no umbrellas, no concessions. Mont Boron
