Restaurants in Nice
Terrace cafés cluster along the cours Saleya. Old Nice offers Niçoise and Mediterranean cuisine, while Central Nice offers everything from Japanese to Lebanese restaurants. Head to the promenade des Anglais for Michelin-starred cuisine at Le Chantecler or choose La Zucca Magica in Nice Port for the Riviera's best vegetarian food. Meals are usually served 12pm-2pm and 7pm-10pm. Service, at 12.5%, is generally included but check the bill.
