September is the perfect month for lunch or dinner on a patio. The sun is still shining, the temperature is just right, and the atmosphere is delightful. In the evening, we love to make the most of these last moments to dine outdoors. With COVID, the patio is the safest option for sharing a meal with friends or family.
Where can you find a chic and secluded terrace in Nice?
Hotel terraces are often secluded, perfect for those who want to enjoy some privacy.
Some aren’t very well known, so we don’t always dare to venture into a hotel for lunch or dinner.

We regret the temporary closure of the Ellington Hotel
