Since eating out is one of the most popular pastimes in the south of France, when visiting Nice  don't miss out on this form of entertainment. You'll find good restaurants in all parts of the city,  so you can enjoy a pleasant meal in the Old Town, in the port, or even on the beach. You can choose between French, Mediterranean and various other kinds of food but in the heart of Provence the most recommended is cuisine Nissarde – an  indigenous word for cuisine of the region. So wherever you go, order a piece of socca –  peppery flat bread, or a salad nicoise to get to know the local tastes. All kinds of fish and sea-food  are also very popular in Nice; they taste especially well at the seafront restaurants. If you eat at Chez Theresa or Acchiardo you won't be disappointed.
