For gourmets, salads, pizzas, cheese and charcuterie platters, sandwiches, breakfast, desserts and regional specialties such as pissaladière or pan bagnat. The oils and vinegars used are available for retail sale. The welcome is charming and the prices very reasonable.

Located in the old town, but far from the hustle and bustle of the tourist trade, this cocktail club is an invitation to calm and relaxation.

On the first floor, on the beautiful terrace or in the small room located upstairs, the atmosphere is festive and friendly for wild parties until the middle of the night.

The Cinéma Variétés is located not far from the very centre of Nice, and it is easily recognizable by the two large palm trees that stand in front of its entrance. The programming is not very original, there are not many auteur films here, but rather classical productions (which does not hurt), even if there is still a certain majority of French films on the bill. And for foreign films, they are offered in their original version, which is a significant advantage. But its strong point is its price, which is much more reasonable than the large chains nearby. In short, it is an attractive little cinema.
