The best places in Nice to enjoy Brunch
What better way to get the day off to a smooth and sumptuous start than a bit of brunch? Whether you fancy a classic or you want to try something new, here are our go-tos for brunch that looks as good as it tastes… perfect for Instagram!
Clay
Head to Rue Bonaparte near Place du Pin for this brunch hotspot. It has everything you could want for an indulgent outing in Nice: Mediterranean interior, speciality coffee and, most importantly, a great menu! The seasonal dishes showcase local ingredients and are served all day long: ideal if you like a lie-in. Sample classics (scrambled eggs and bacon), specials (banana toast) and signatures including the “Croq Clay”, a cheese toastie made from truffle cream, 18 month Comté and chicken. Wash it all down with a homemade “boost” made from apple juice, celery, lemon and ginger. The perfect way to start the day!

Edmond Café
You can’t miss the blue frontage and lovely outdoor seating when you go down Rue du Congrès! Step inside and soak up the laidback, cosy, British vibe that the eatery is known for. But the incredible (and delicious) cakes are what Edmond Café is really famous for. If you have a sweet tooth, you’ll love the cookies, cupcakes, brownies and cheesecakes. And who can forget the smoothies?! (Try the aptly-named “Very Passion”). It covers the savoury side too with croque-monsieurs, bacon & eggs and brunch dishes: we loved the Eggs Benny Bacon!
