Niss'art Burger, Nice

Nom Nom Nom, home-made Burgers and fries that are the BOMB! I hadn't actually heard of this place until my sister came to visit and checked trip advisor for something to eat. It is run by the chef who is half dutch and half french. Even when I made the reservation I was impressed by the kindness over the phone. The chef is helped by her mother and sister in the kitchen and their business is really managed on a personal level where you can see the pride shining. They have an open kitchen so you can see the food being prepared.
On TripAdvisor it's stated that this is a must try if you go to Nice. Well I can only agree! I had a chicken burger and it was so delicious, the best I have ever had! The portion size was perfect and the ingredients are local. It is all so fresh that we even got a bit of home made aioli instead of mayonaise whilst we waited for the mayo to be made, that is how fresh everything is. The burger bun is delicious and there is a healthy portion of sauce, salad and onions on here!

I feel like places like this should be supported more! Family run businesses where the hard work and dedication should be rewarded! With friendly staff and great food you can never go wrong. So I will say this now, visit places like this for real burgers and not Mcdonalds where you may pay only 8€ for a menu, but you will be hungry again in 2 hours.
I payed 15€ for this meal and I was full the rest of the evening.

Great Place, great owner and employees and most important of all, GREAT food! Need I say more!

Hint:

If you want a day where you don't spend too much money, Visit Pinkoffee for lunch and this place for dinner and I promise you, you will not be disappointed!

Pinkoffee, Nice

Pinkoffee is located very close to the promenade and Hotel Negresco. Everything is home-made here and they post the process regularly on their Facebook page. 
Well of course I couldn't leave without tasting this, and time is running out! 
So I was planning to get just the CG, but then I saw that they have this offer where you can choose a focaccia or bagel, soda and a CG for only 11,90€ so why not ;) 
We of course started off with the focaccia, I chose a chicken and mozzarella focaccia. I inhaled it! It was really good and you can taste that is was fresh. The bread was really nice and fluffy and it was filled really well.

Now on to the Pièce de résistance! after the focaccia I was ready for something sweet and a coffee! now I know that it seems that I say this a lot, but this CG was really really good, like amazingly good! My coffee was (finally) topped with lovely milk foam, which is hard to get in Nice! The little muffin tasted like a snickers bar! it had the chocolate chip and was topped with hazelnuts, yum :) Then in the little shot glass was vanilla ice-cream with a fruit puree, really nice and refreshing! now on to my 2 favourites! The cheesecake and the chocolate brownie/ fondant. The cheesecake was just really really delicious! the bottom crust was nice and thick and the cream was not too heavy! The brownie was still a bit warm and was really good with the whipped cream! This was all home made, delicious and not expensive for what you get, especially in comparison to the rest of Nice! Definitely a must try if you go to Nice!
Enjoy guys!
