Located in the old town, very popular with students, tourists and locals due to its informal ambience.
Small wooden dining tables cramped into a small space gives it its unique informal atmosphere.
Food is excellent and cheap. The house red is good value and the fish soup is delicious.
38, Rue Droite
Located in the old town, this is a delightful inexpensive restaurant with a good mix of local dishes.
The rabbit and salmon are excellent and the wine is modestly priced. The fish soup delivered piping hot in a large tureen is probably the best in town.
Service is quick and efficient and very popular with locals too and you're not rushed out.
6, Rue St Reparate
This is a great live music venue located in the old town and serves a very large main courses for about £6.
The curry is exceptionally tasty mixed with salad, chutney and a dollop of ice cream. Half-price beer (usually around £4 a pint) is on offer most evenings until about 9pm.
15, rue de la Préfecture
If you’re feeling lazy, the best way to see city is the two-hour bus trip, with headphone translation. It will take you on a tour round the harbour and you can catch the breathtaking vistas over the Bay of Angels. Then up the hill to Cimiez, the old Roman part of the city.
