  Very fun place. You can sit indoor our outdoor. If you sit inside you can watch the chef make socca. Great options for vegans - try the socca with tomato and artichoke or the plain socca. Busy place but great service and atmosphere.

  The Quick: Great socca but frustrating experience. Insanely slow service, can't even pay when you want to leave, very small portion making it more expensive than everywhere else. No "to go" option and staff was a disaster.
  
  The Details: Service in France s*cks, I get it... but this place takes the cake. If you can convince them to let you get socca to go and don't mind paying double the price do it! Not a huge price/- 6 euro for double portion as it's tiny, instead of 3 euro elsewhere. Socca is the easiest snack to eat while exploring Nice, here it's an hour  and a half ordeal, not worth it for me.
  
  The Damage: 3euro for single portion but it's small so definitely get a double for ~ 6 euro

  Our tour guide had recommended us to try socca, a pancake made with chickpeas that was a popular food item of Nice.  This restaurant had it on their menu and seemed to be the nearest from where we were so we chose this place.  The socca was crunchy and was good.  A bit bland aside from the chickpea taste, a flavor my companion wasn't all that into.
  
  While everything on the menu seemed to be quite inexpensive, the portions are barely filling.

  Really cute place to sit outside during the day. We arrived 15 mins after it opened and had to wait extra (30 mins) for the socca because the chef was not in yet. Luckily other things on the menu were able to keep is appetizer in the meanwhile. The place definitely got crowded quick!
  The socca and the pissaladiere is a must try.  The socca was crunchy and super savory I wish I had access to this to munch on weekly! We had the pepper and the cheese one - both great!
  
  These are all small portions, so it means you can try more! Although you think it's super good deal when you first look at the menu, for a meal to fill your belly it ends up being similar to a regular main.
  
  I think service can be more friendly but definitely efficient and acceptable.
  
  Definitely recommend and a must try when in Nice.
  
  4.5/5*

  While in Nice a few weeks ago with the bf, we decided that we ought to try out some unique Nicoise dishes, and this place came up for us on Yelp. We decided to try it out and while there, we were alerted that the regular socca would be ready in about an hour's time. Since we were willing to try some of the other variants, there was no wait. I tried their pissaladiere and the bf got their simple socca with a mesclun salad on the side. We also got an order of their tomato and artichoke tartinade spreads.
  
  Now, I guess the price points were an indicator of how small the portions would be, but the best way that I could describe the portion sizes here would be tapas-sized. We had finished our respective meals, but were still slightly hungry. Our food was fine, but our respective flatbreads, for lack of a better collective term, came out kind of lukewarm. I'm not sure if that's how socca or pissaladiere are normally served, but admittedly, it was not as appealing to our American palates.
  
  If you didn't get a chance to actually go to this restaurant and wanted to try out some socca before heading back to your respective city/town, you could order at their NCE airport location, so there is that opportunity as well. I mean, for 3 Euros or even less, you should at least try some of this humble Nicoise dish.
