For quick and tasty street food on the go, try Sur La Pouce.

The moustachioed owner is friendly and chatty - go a second time and chances are he'll remember you.

To get a real taste of classic Nice food go for the assiette Nicoise. It gives you all the classics on one plate: stuffed vegetables, courgette flowers, sardines etc.

This is a fairly new restaurant, at least it wasn't around last time we visited, but we could have missed it. It is on Rue de Prefecture and it serves traditional Nicois dishes.

It is quite small and cosy with some tables outside. It's always busy and we'd highly recommend booking a few days before (we had to try three times before we got a table). It is a much better experience than the tourist trap of the Cours Saleya, and just two streets back.

Oldest seafood cafe in Nice. Eat moules, oyster, lobster and shellfish platters. Wash them down with delicious white wine/whisky.

Great place to eat in the afternoon after sex.

Beautiful restaurant with very nice service and a reasonable price tag. We had oysters which were out of this world.

Oysters were not previously palatable for both my wife and I, but this experience was to die for.

We have not stopped eating them since! So now we are all zinced up and with a few of the shampoo bubbles we have been lifted to a new way of life.
