FOOD AND DRINK

Our beautiful city of Nice is well known for its culinary heritage! Nice style stuffed veggies, pan bagnat, olive oil, socca… these emblematic local flavours are everywhere in the city’s shops and restaurants. A quick round up of the typical specialities from this city on the French Riviera.

In Nice, chickpeas are eaten in all their forms, even the most surprising! As crisps embodied by the now famous SoccaChips, but they’re also the main ingredient of Socca Beer, a local artisan beer that comes as lager, amber beer, flavoured with fresh hops or with rum.

For lovers of flavoured, local beers, the Brasserie Artisanale de Nice proposes a white beer flavoured with bitter orange and coriander seeds.

How can you discuss Nice cuisine without mentioning olive oil? For Mediterranean cuisine lovers, Maison Nicolas Alzari proposes a wide choice of olive oils ranging from organic, prestige and luxury.

Nice also rhymes with Pastis! You will need to drop by at Pastis de Nice to buy 100% local production. Sip it during a game of pétanque with friends, or use it in dishes that exhale the south and the sun!
