"One thing everybody should know about Nice is that a lot of restaurants are closed on Monday, which is contrary to Paris in which a lot of places are closed on Sunday. My boyfriend and I (Parisians) did not know that, and we arrived to Nice on Monday. Trying to eat lunch was a bit of a challenge. We stumbled upon this place, and we were so desperate that we just sat down and ate. It turns out that we were really lucky, because this restaurant is a masterpiece. As Americans, we have a certain vision of France. The one thing that a lot of us don't know about France is that France is an incredibly diverse nation. This restaurant, in one of the most beautiful neighbourhoods in Nice, is a wonderful culinary lesson in the richness of France. They have a beautiful dish which I believe was called "The Nicois", but I could be wrong. It has a bunch of specialties from the region like Socca and stuffed tomatoes. If you are looking to taste the local cuisine. This dish is a fantastic summary of all of it. For desert, you also have the option of getting fantastic Crepes, because the owner is partly from Brittany. The name of the restaurant is actually the "Breton" language. In one of the best cities in France, you can taste specialties from two great regions. The man who owns the restaurant is the nicest man! He came out and talked to us about the food, Nice, and his roots from Brittany. The restaurant was full of locals and foreigners alike and everybody speaks English. If you are looking to have lunch in Vieux Nice, please do not miss this place. Like any other tourist neighbourhood, there is a lot of garbage, and sometimes it can be hard to know the good from the bad. This place is great! Please give this restaurant a try!"
