The locations marked with an asterisk (*) are those we’ve personally tried. The others are on our must-visit list for the next time we’re in town. ツ
Chez Pipo*
Why we love it: For an authentic taste of Niçoise tradition, head straight to Chez Pipo, a local institution known for its iconic socca—a golden, oven-baked chickpea flour pancake that’s naturally gluten-free. Crispy, savoury, and best enjoyed with a glass of chilled rosé, it’s a must-try. The menu also features regional specialties like pissaladière, a flatbread topped with caramelised onions and anchovy purée, and for dessert, don’t miss the sweet Swiss chard tart—a local delicacy and personal favourite.

Expect a refined menu of gluten-free, lactose-free, and vegetarian options—from generously topped pizzas to pasta and craft gluten-free beers. The decor evokes 1930s Italian glamour with a cosy, welcoming atmosphere. A gem for any gourmand with dietary sensitivities.
