A little more direction
Look at the current menu and ask which dishes reflect the regional cooking you want to try. Compare the meal format and location before making a reservation.
Use the regional food guide to identify restaurants to investigate, then check which individual menus offer Niçoise dishes. A Côte d’Azur location or a broad local-cuisine description does not by itself establish the particular regional cooking you want.
