Nice: Eating and Drinking
The grande dame of the French riviera, Nice is the indisputable hub of the Cote d'Azur, if not the whole south of France: the gateway to Cannes, St Tropez, Monaco et al - and a major crowd-puller in its own right. Whether you're here for the famous Provencal cooking, a wander down the historic Promenade des Anglais, a chance to look chic on the beach or just a dip in the Med, you're on to a winner.
Don Camillo
Regarded as one of the best Provencal restaurants in town, current chef Marc Laville's inventive menu doesn't disappoint - but a lack of tables (there are only nine) may do. Book well in advance.
Address 5 rue des Ponchettes. Tel. +33 (0)4 93 85 67 95..
Rene Socca
Fill up on cheap but tasty local specialities socca (chick-pea pancakes or crepes) or pizza combined with local specialites at this busy local pit-stop. Take it to go or park yourself on one of the wooden benches outside.
2 Rue Miralheti, Vieux Nice, Nice. Tel. + 33 (0) 4 93 92 05 73.
Fenocchio
Fifty-eight ice cream flavours, from almond to red fruit yoghurt, 34 sorbet flavours, from apricot to tomato-basilic, and 12 kinds of frozen cake. No wonder those in the know rave about Fenocchio. Even better it's family-run and open from 9am until midnight.
