![5]( "Recensione")
My sister and I were walking back to our room to get our bags before heading to the bus station. We decided we had enough time to grab some lunch and came here. We were welcomed and immediately seated. Even though the place was pretty busy, we were given menus and attended to. We had to try the socca-- how can you come to Nice and not try the local specialty? We also ordered the cabrette salad.
The socca was really good. I've never tried it before, but if all socca tastes like this socca, then I want more socca in my life. The chickpea flavor was delicious with just the right amount of salt. Crispy on the outside, slightly fluffy on the inside, this thin pancake is my life.
The cabrette salad was also quite good. I personally think the hot goat cheese in pastry made the salad. Combined with the cool lettuce and tomato, I would definitely order this again.
These two items were enough to fill my sister and I up. The service was good and quick, so we had enough time to make it to our bus. I definitely recommend coming here even if it is to order some socca from the window to eat on the go.
Good place to try the local specialty!
The menu had English translations but they were not too easy to understand. The server didn't seem to speak any English, but we were able to communicate. This seems like a local place!
THE WAIT: None around 10:30am on a Thursday. Plenty of seats in the outdoor area. They were still fairly busy, though.
THE FOOD:
* La Napolitaine - 2 stars
This was pretty bad. It was basically reheated microwave pizza. Come here for the socca, not the pizza!
* Socca - 4.5 stars
This had an awesome fresh crisp. I loved the crust.
* Croque Socc 9,50€ - 4 stars
Pretty amazing combination of a croque and socca! Great flavor, just a bit oily and the sogginess makes the socca lose its crisp.
We went in with low expectations as we love Pipo for Socca but our minds were kind of blown by Socca d'Or :) the Socca is thicker and crisp on top and bottom and creamy in the middle!
We also had very nice Pissaladiere both the standard one and the anchovy one
And hubby went for a special one which was the pani panisse which he thinks will be the best hangover cure ever with panisse, a kind of bacon, ratatouille and mozzarella on an olive bread - all homemade
