Seafood all day - Nice’s best oysters and plateaux de fruits de mer (cold seafood platters).
Papayou in rue de la Prefecture 35 is an excellent restaurant in Vieux Nice. The combination of classic Nicoise, Thai, and a little Italian makes for a great menu.
On arrival, owner Nadim Beyrouti and his staff take time to treat guests with an olive oil tasting, explaining the different origin of each oil. After a meal, choose an oil from the restaurant’s shop and try out one of Oliviera’s aromatic recipes at home.
The highlight is denoted by the excellent Pissaladière. Pissaladière is a dish which originated from Nice is usually a bread dough thicker than that of the classic Italian pizza, and the traditional topping consists of caramelised onions, olives, garlic and anchovies.
