THE FARCIS NIÇOIS
Farcis Niçois are a cornerstone of local gastronomy. These vegetables (zucchinis, tomatoes, bell peppers, onions) are hollowed out and stuffed with a savory mixture of meat, aromatic herbs, garlic, and breadcrumbs. Baked in the oven, they offer a perfect marriage of fresh vegetables and flavorful stuffing. Each bite reveals the generosity of Niçois produce.
BEIGNETS DE FLEURS DE COURGETTES
Beignets de Fleurs de Courgettes are a typical Niçoise delicacy. These delicate flowers are coated in a light batter and fried to perfection. Crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside, these beignets are often enjoyed as a starter or appetizer, accompanied by a squeeze of lemon juice to enhance their flavor.
PISSALADIÈRE
Pissaladière is a Niçoise specialty resembling a pizza, but with a distinct topping. It consists of a thick dough topped with caramelized onions, anchovies, and black olives. This savory dish is often enjoyed as an appetizer or main course, its rich and flavorful taste being a true delight for the palate.
SALADE NIÇOISE
Salade Niçoise is undoubtedly one of the most well-known dishes beyond the region's borders. It is composed of tomatoes, hard-boiled eggs, black olives, anchovies, tuna, bell peppers, celery, red onions, and sometimes potatoes and green beans, all seasoned with olive oil and vinegar. Fresh and colorful, this salad is ideal for a light and healthy meal.
PAN BAGNAT
Pan Bagnat is another Niçoise specialty that highlights typical regional ingredients. It is a sandwich made with round bread, filled with vegetables from the Salade Niçoise, anchovies or tuna, all drizzled with olive oil. The bread is often rubbed with garlic to enhance the flavors. This rustic and savory sandwich is perfect for a seaside picnic.
