In spring 2026, we’ll launch delivery and click & collect. But real socca is the market, the morning sun and Cours Saleya. Until then, you’ll find us at the stand.
Pl. Charles Félix, 06300 Nice Stand at the Cours Saleya Market Wednesday to Sunday: 9:30 am – 1:30 pm Closed Monday and Tuesday.
I was born in Nice, at Place du Jésus, in a family where the market and cooking were part of everyday life.
Here, I learned about the seasons, the produce, the growers… and almost everyone. I grew up here.
For a long time, I worked as a market gardener with my parents, alongside my brothers and sisters. In our family, quality was never optional. We went to get products where they were best, even if it meant travelling kilometres. Work always came first. Always.

In 2014, I changed sides — from the land to the stove. We had a small place in Old Nice where I prepared my Niçoise recipes. When I finally got my spot at the Cours Saleya, I simply went for it. No calculations.
Socca cauda !
That’s our base.
Fresh products, producers we know, everything homemade. And for the pissaladière? Fresh onions. Always.
Today, I cook the way I’ve always seen it done: simple, generous and sincere.

And also more elaborate dishes, just like in a restaurant: daube or ricotta cannelloni, octopus salad, capoun, beef cheek daube, soupe au pistou.
Socca, aïoli, petits farcis, pan bagnat, ratatouille when the weather is warm, savoury and sweet tourte de blettes, troucha.
Es bòn !
They call me “Madame Plus.”
Because I always do a little more. More time, more care, more flavour.
Oh Ninou!
And my way of keeping the spirit of Nice alive on the plate.
