Which of these 10 dishes would you try first? Or if you’ve been to Nice—did we miss your favorite spot? 🥖🍷
Super
Nice
Miam miam. Cannot pick one over any others…but maybe Petits Farcis Nicois if I had to eat only one dish for an entire week. PS: Your color choices are spectacular–never a dull or drab image.
Thank you . That was really useful . I would eat Pan Bagnat first as that is the best for me closely followed by the socca . The only things I wouldn’t try would be the Toute aux Blettes as I don’t like pine nuts and the daubes Niçoise as I don’t eat red meat . You certainly eat well on the Riviera .
Looks so good😋
Viene voglia di assaggiare tutte le specialita.
Wow 😋
I’m going to Nice in july for two weeks, thanks for sharing this
I really liked the socca…but I only had a small taste and wanted more! All the pastries are so good, it's hard to try them all.
This was definitely some of the best, photographed, food on YouTube. Every dish leapt off the screen, and made me hungry for a snack.
La tourte de blettes sucrée un délice.❤
