The 10 best wine bars in Nice
On the upper floor of sommelier Vanessa Massé's starred Pure & V, you can drink the same brilliant natural wines as in the basement - without a large menu, but with eye-catching snacks from the pen of chef Pinja.
First address for excellent, sometimes rare natural wines, some of which have cult status. The tip "be sure to ask for advice" applies to beginners as well as advanced tasters. Cheese, charcuterie and ingredients for the lunch dishes (excellent!) come from the region.
Small wine bar with signal red floor and lively flair. There is something for everyone here, from nature to less nature. The many small tapas are of excellent quality: pâté en croûte, beet carpaccio, scallops, mortadella, pastrami and, and, and.
Picture-book bar with a pleasant atmosphere, small snacks - anchovies, coppa, Gruyère, tartine - and a very curated selection of artisan, really good natural/low-intervention wines, which you can even drink standing up at peak times.
If you like bar seating, you will love this wine bar in the antique dealers' quarter, which is characterised by ceiling-high air-conditioned cabinets and excellent fresh cuisine. A young owner couple, who previously worked for bistronomy icon Camdeborde, have fulfilled a dream here.
Don't be fooled by the modest exterior of this (natural) wine bar: real truffle hunters are at work here. The selection of special bottles and wines by the glass is correspondingly select, as is the authentic market cuisine with top products.
Behind the mustard yellow façade is a project with a very personal touch: (organic) wines from Provence meet freshly cooked dishes with a local twist, and in summer you can sit on the small street terrace.
Since 1860, the historic wine store with its listed façade, tanned by wind, weather and time, has indulged in wine, both above and below ground in a rustic ambience. The service is somewhat erratic, the bottle selection conservative.
This corner wine bar within walking distance of the Museum of Modern Art is just as suitable for a refreshment as it is for a long evening with good friends. The menu and wine list are rather classic: Oysters, snails, cheese, charcuterie.
The wheel is not reinvented here, but for an uncomplicated evening with cheese and charcuterie as well as house and bottled wines at fair prices, this authentic piece of Nice with a largely local clientele is not the worst choice.
