La petite maison

The home of Cuisine Nicoise, whose
origins lie in old Genoese cooking, is
the old town of Nice where French
Mediterranean cuisine has blended
and evolved with the influences of
Ligurian Italy across the border. Local
produce, notably artichokes, courgettes,
lemons, olives, tomatoes, peppers
and girolles are used generously
with sea food, meat and fresh pasta
to produce a style that’s light and healthy. Oil obtained
from olives groves on the hills of the Alpes Maritimes behind
Nice and extending into Liguria is used throughout.
