Local bistro
Most streets in Nice seem to feature a few bistros, “a small restaurant serving moderately priced simple meals in a modest setting.” They are usually family owned and offer very good value, especially in their fixed price menu. My local one on the corner of Boulevard Gambetta and Rue Verdi is Chez Michel, which has street tables, as do most.
I often eat lunch there. This time my companion ordered their house salad, featuring ham, cheese, tomato and onion. It looked very good, I ordered their escalope de volaille, which translates as poultry reared for meat or eggs and is often chicken. It came in a dark cream sauce with green beans and fries. One of us drank beer, one the house rosé wine. It made for a pleasant lunch in great outdoors weather.
