Night out in Nice


It's been a while since we've done a night out in Nice, and as Dexter would put it: “Tonight is the night”. Youcef and Ouarda were visiting Nice, so that was a good excuse as well.

We started off by meeting up with Marie (in a clothes shop, where else?). After a bit of shopping, we headed over to a coffee shop on Avenue Jean Medecin for an aperitif, to catch up a bit one last time before her big trip to Thailand.

We then headed off for a romantic dinner at Sense, a new chic restaurant near Place Massena. Their main selling point is that they only use organic ingredients. Not much to complain about here – the place is nicely decorated, the service is good, and the food excellent. It is a bit pricey, but then you would expect that from a restaurant serving organic food. And the service wasn't exactly quick (this is one of those places though where I kind of take that as a sign that the food is cooked rather than heated in a microwave oven – positive thinking I suppose ?)

We then made our way to Ma Nolan's (where else?) for our reunion with Youcef, Ouarda and the other usual suspects (mostly ex-colleagues of Youcef's). it was good fun as usual – looks like Youcef and Ouarda really needed a break from their hardcore DIY (they had made the trip from Paris to prepare their flat for rental).

All in all, an excellent night out on town!
