La Chaise Bleue Gourmande
The idea for this restaurant came from Antoine Soave, a friend of Louis Tordo, son of the creator of the original blue chair.
He had the ingenuity to take up this idea and combine it with authentic, high-quality Niçois cuisine. The menu, which changes regularly, offers for example: pissaladière with its ice cream, lou capoun, l’estocaficada (Niçois stockfish), the organic egg prepared like a trouchia, goat cheese prepared like a daube, the local fish of the day, roasted veal fillet…
For dessert, the breathtaking revisited tourta de bléa or the panna cotta with persimmon from the orchard of Louis Tordo himself! Awarded the “Cuisine Nissarde 2018-2019” label.
