Comptoir Central Electrique

With exposed brick walls cracked with paint and mismatched chairs, this quirky, charming restaurant in Old Nice is entrancing from the get go. Tables spill out onto the sidewalk in a typically French fashion, and the eclectic spot also serves wonderful cuisine (think yellowtail tuna with beet coulis and truffle), as well as a selection of pastries and excellent drinks. It is great for lunch while exploring Nice or for a pre-dinner aperitif.
