Pan Bagnat

The Pan Bagnat is a specialty of traditional Niçoise cuisine, made from a round bread roll filled with raw vegetables, Niçoise olives, anchovies or tuna, and olive oil. Its name means “soaked/wet bread” in Nissart (the local dialect), because it was traditionally prepared by modest families using hard, stale bread that was softened under a drizzle of water. Over time, it was replaced by a special bread soaked in olive oil.

You can find Pan Bagnat in all Niçoise bakeries, but it’s best to ask for recommendations directly from the true local experts. Turn to Nice cab drivers, they know the area inside out and will be delighted to suggest the perfect place.
