Socca is a symbol of traditional Niçoise cuisine. This thin pancake made from chickpea flour and olive oil is baked in a wood-fired oven in a “socca pan”, which is usually round. It is said that in the Middle Ages, fishermen used to eat it before heading out to sea. Today, socca is considered a snack — often enjoyed hot, at aperitif time, with a generous sprinkle of pepper.
If you’d like to taste this iconic Niçoise specialty, the Old Town of Nice is full of stands and small local restaurants that serve it. To get there easily, book a taxi from Nice your driver, a true connoisseur of the city, will be happy to share the best places to try it.
