Eating Out
An excellent selection of restaurants, cafes and bistros are to
be found in Nice. Everyone's heard of salade niçoise which
is a salad made of fresh tomatoes, mixed leaves, anchovies, tuna,
beans and olive oil. Seafood is also particularly favorite, with
fresh fish from the port.
A visit to the French Riviera really wouldn't be complete without
sampling la socca, a delicious savory pancake made from chick
peas. Other distinctive dishes also include les petits farcis
or stuffed vegetable parcels; morue à la niçoise, cod cooked
with tomato and olives; pissaladière which is rather like a
pizza but made with onion instead of tomato; fleurs de courgette
cuisinées, cooked baby courgettes; raviolis and pan-bagnat
which are Nice's twist on the sandwich using two round slices of
bread soaked in olive oil enveloping a miniature salade niçoise.
With a strong Italian influence on the cuisine, olives, gnocchi
and ravioli are frequently served. For those wanting more variety,
there are several very popular African restaurants here.
