We purchased tickets to go to the island of I'île Saint Honorat and needed lunch so we stopped at this place and were seated on the patio. My favorite salad is the Nicoise and since Cannes is pretty close to Nice, I figured it was probably pretty good. I was so right!
We were in quite a rush to get on the boat and the servers did their best to accomodate us; I thought it was pretty awesome that the server tried to calm us down by explaining that the boat was only a short walk away and that we should just relax and enjoy our food. I love France!
Anyways, my lunch was seriously delicious! It was pretty simple and didn't contain potatoes and green beans like some Nicoise salads do; I usually dislike the potatoes and prefer to eat my salad with lots of baguette, which was provided with this salad! Some restaurants in the States like to use thick dressings on their "Nicoise salads", and it doesn't go well with the ingredients, here they used a very simple and classic mix of olive oil and just a touch of vinegar. The olive oil was amazing and complimented the flavors of the salad just perfectly!
I'd happily eat another Nicoise salad here! read more
