Night out in Nice

It’s been quite a busy summer for us on the Cote d’Azur, and we haven’t had a chance to meet up much with our “local friends”. So this particular Friday, we decided it’d be a good idea to meet up for dinner in Nice, to catch up on the latest news. We got quite a decent turnup, with Aki, Henna, Mikko, Marianne, Youcef and Naim all coming along. We booked a table at Boscolo Plaza for the occasion – a roof-top restaurant in one of the swishiest hotels in Nice, with a stunning view over Place Massena. We decided to drive down to Nice, rather than taking the train as usual - bad idea. The prom’ was closed, so it took us about 1 hour to get into Nice… Affirmed our faith in public transport – even if it is a bit unreliable at times…

Our stomachs were well grumbling by the time we made it up to the restaurant. The view was still great, but I have to say the food and service left a lot to be desired. I think they pretty much got something wrong in everybody’s order, apart from mine. Wrong garniture, cold food, you name it… At least they were graceful enough to give us a discount on the meal. But anyway, we had a good time, and it was great catching up with everybody again.

We skipped the dessert, and opted for a very tasty ice cream (nice recommendation from Naim) at Place de Palais de Justice. We wrapped up a very nice evening with a couple of drinks at Akathor pub (the terrace at Ma Nolan’s was full, as always, so we ended up going for Plan B – which is good ol’ Akathor…).
