Cine and Dine in Nice

Our cinema attendance has been rather sparse lately, so we figured it was time to remedy that. After checking out what's on offer, we ended up going for a safe choice - Woody Allen's latest. I used to hate Woody Allen films (I just found the guy annoying), but am growing rather fond of his movies - I guess it's a sign of me getting old or something :-|. His latest directing effort - Magic in the Moonlight -  was appropriately based on the Cote d'Azur. Quite a nice, if minor Allen effort, with a rather good performance form Colin Firth.

Having ticket off the cultural activity bit, we headed off for dinner. I'd booked Cafe Sejour, a very highly ranked restaurant on Tripadvisor (need to be quite critical about TA rankings in Nice though, we've found...). Not to worry - Cafe Sejour is easily one of the best restaurants I've been to in Nice. Everything was just about perfect: excellent, high-quality, creative cuisine (nearly Michelin star-level I would say), laid-back yet attentive service and tasteful internal decoration. OK, not the cheapest place you'll find in Nice - but as I've said before - you can easily end up paying the same in one of the tourist traps on Rue Massena for far worse food.

Highly recommended, then!
