WHERE TO HAVE LUNCH IN NICE FOR UNDER €10?

OFF TO BERLIN AND ITS DELICIOUS DÖNER KEBABS

Off to Berlin to savour an authentic döner kebab! Right in the pedestrian zone, Zendoner, with its colourful façade, friendly vibe, and—most importantly—that mouth-watering aroma. On the menu: a generously filled sandwich, served in either bread or a flatbread wrap, bursting with flavour—grilled vegetables, garlic sauce, chicken or veal, tomatoes, lettuce, pomegranate, and more. Mix and match to your taste for a flavour-packed journey in every bite.

OFF TO ITALY WITH FRESH FOCACCE

In the heart of the Durandy district, Nuvoletta whisks you straight to Italy with its sunny street food. This fresh concept is a real crowd-pleaser: focacce with a variety of flavours, made using seasonal, fresh ingredients—stracciatella, aubergine, courgette, artichoke… there’s something for everyone. More of a salad fan? You’ll love their generous plates like the Tonno or Burrata—ideal for a light yet flavourful meal.

OFF TO THE USA FOR A TRENDY SMASH BURGER

Always scrolling TikTok? Then you’ve probably seen the famous smash burgers. For the uninitiated, the concept is simple: the patty is pressed flat during cooking for ultra-juicy meat with crispy edges. It’s indulgent, it’s generous… and we’re obsessed! Off to Place Masséna, right by Galeries Lafayette, to try Smash Me!—chicken, bacon, classic… there’s something for every taste, and it’s an absolute treat.

OFF TO ASIA WITH A TAPAS TWIST

Craving tapas with an Asian twist? Uinku by Clin d’Oeil, newly opened in Durandy, is the talk of the town. From the moment you step in, the decor transports you to the streets of Tokyo. On the menu: loads of little delights to share. We’re hooked on the corn dog and fried chicken—solid favourites. Everything looks tempting, and it’s the perfect spot for a fun, laid-back meal with friends in a quirky, original setting.

OFF TO GREECE WITH FLAVOURFUL PITAS

Let the sunshine of Greece guide you—or simply head to NICETOILE to dive into the world of Fira and indulge in delicious creations. On the menu: takeaway gyros, chicken, kefta… Mediterranean flavours to savour in a blue-hued decor that whisks you away.

OFF TO ARGENTINA AND ITS DELICIOUS EMPANADAS

Off to Avenue Malaussena, and more precisely to El Almacen, where you can indulge in Argentine flavours with delicious empanadas. The concept is simple and delicious: a wide selection of empanadas, both savoury and sweet—chorizo, goat’s cheese, chicken, or even Nutella and banana. With the sea just steps away, it’s the perfect spot to enjoy your meal by the beach, sunshine included.

OFF TO LEBANON AND THE PASSION FOR SHAWARMA

What could be better than a generous, aromatic shawarma to whisk you away in a single bite? Truth be told, it’s our guilty pleasure at the editorial desk. Fresh, indulgent, and spiced with Lebanese herbs, it’s packed with hummus, crunchy raw veg, pickles, and fresh herbs—all wrapped in soft, pillowy bread. We highly recommend Côté Liban, just off the Promenade in the Carré d’Or, to savour this delight—plus their Lebanese moussaka, which is absolutely divine.

OFF TO KOREA AND ITS MUST-TRY RICE DOGS

Chung Chun, the number one name in Korean street food, made waves on social media with its iconic rice dogs. It’s undeniably intriguing… and it definitely makes you want to take a bite! Good news: right by Notre-Dame Cathedral, this hotspot opens the door to its flavour-packed world. Expect Korean rice dogs you can customise with mozzarella, Emmental, beef, chicken, sweet potato, and more.

BACK TO LOCAL ROOTS!

A more local—but oh-so-essential—stop in Nissa: Lou Pilha Leva in Nice’s Old Town (Vieux-Nice), where you can savour traditional Niçoise specialities like pan bagnat and socca. Because really, what better way to treat yourself than with our iconic recipes?
