After a delectable breakfast at the Best Western Plus Hotel Masséna Nice, set off to explore Nice's tastiest spots:

 

The Libération neighbourhood

Just a 20 minute walk or 10 minute tram ride from the Best Western Plus Hotel Masséna Nice, the Libération neighbourhood is the perfect place to start your Food Tour. Nice's trendiest new area has undergone extensive regeneration work.

Start your culinary tour with a compulsory pit-stop at the famous Chez Tintin stand for its signature pan bagnat and salade niçoise. 

Venture a little further to Gare du Sud, your ticket to a gourmet adventure! The large indoor market plays host to twenty-odd food stalls. There's something for everyone: local specialities, Mexican, Italian, Japanese etc.

Before heading down towards Avenue Jean Médecin, cool off at the amazing Arlequin Gelati ice cream shop. Enjoy your Italian ice cream made exclusively from organic ingredients!

Head to the Nicolas Alziari shop near Cours Saleya to try their olive oil and tapenade made using delicious olives that have soaked up the Nice sun.
