Night out in Nice

After a rather busy weekend at our flat, we decided to head to Nice for the evening for a bit of cinema and a nice dinner, just me and Mathilde.

We saw a pretty nice Japanese movie called Chiisai ouchi (which freely translates to Red House - wow I can manage that one without google translate - must be getting somewhere with my Japanese classes!). Pretty nice film about a servant serving a family leading up to and during World War II. Quite a good description of what I suppose life in Japan was during those times...

After our dose of culture, time to work out the taste buds - I'd booked a place near Rialto for the occasion called Daddies Bistro, which was quite well noted on Tripadvisor. The place was, as the name suggests, your typical modern bistrot - good food with a modern twist. The service was a bit of a slow, a pity especially given that the place was nearly deserted. But anyway, a nice enough place for a romantic night out.

Afterwards I tested out my new Smartphone in low-light for a bit on the Promenade des Anglais, on the way back to the car. My new Sony toy certainly manges better than my Jolla phone, that I've decided to retire (I wish I could say after many years of reliable service - but the unfortunate truth is that it's barely after a year's rather unreliable service...).
