Gourmet lunch at Café Marché in Nice

Gourmet lunch at Café Marché in Nice

If you feel like having an healthy, tasty and natural lunch  in le Vieux Nice, but had too much socca,  pissaladière and farçis already, go for Café Marché just behind the Cours Saleya. This is a charming little restaurant- Salon de thé, where you might feel back home.  Simple dishes, made freshly with local products...
The socca gold rush!

The socca gold rush!

Lately we heard about another socca place in Nice which is supposed to be “the best”, la Socca d’Or. Just a quick reminder: socca is the cheap typical dish from Nice, a galette made of chickpeas and water that you eat usually in the streets with fresh ground salt and pepper. There’s this huge fight...
Déli Bo delights!

Déli Bo delights!

Unlike what our readers might  think, people in Nice are not eating only socca and pissaladières, thanks for their bums and breath. Sometimes one is happy to have a good fresh bagel or club sandwich, and that’s why Déli Bo is here for! [This brand new Deli that opened last february offers also a very...

Delightful simplicity at Clovis

Last week, armed with our GPS, we braved the hinterland around Nice to find another great chef we have been hearing about over the past few months. Julien Bousseau and his charming Clovis were recently awarded a Michelin star, and we were happy to find that this prestigious award has not afffected the simple, proud...
Dolce Acqua: such a lovely place!

Dolce Acqua: such a lovely place!

As usual, in our David Vincent from”The invaders” routine, we were looking that day for something we never found (at least for the moment). And as those who regularly follow us might expect, well, we kind of get lost on our search of this very special “agriturism” restaurant on the hills above the village of...
Can't get enough of Monaco's Maya Bay!

Can’t get enough of Monaco’s Maya Bay!

Even while on holidays in the mountains of Tyrol, i’m hearing about the Maya Bay restaurant in Monaco from Italian tourists! And we have to say, there is for sure something about the place. A curious mix that attracts diners like magnets. First, the place is beautiful, two restaurants in one location, one thaï, one...
Traditional French bistro hits Monaco with Bouchon

Traditional French bistro hits Monaco with Bouchon

If you pass through Monaco this summer, here is a welcoming new spot we love. Imagine a typical french bistro, like ones you can find in New York!!! (a la Balthazar or Pastis)  I know, that might sound criminal for french gastronomy purists, but it’s not! The place is really cute, brand new but with...
