If you’re visiting Nice and want to taste the most iconic sandwich of the city — the Pan Bagnat — this guide is for you. Made with tuna, hard-boiled eggs, raw vegetables, anchovies, and olive oil, all inside a round crusty bread rubbed with garlic, the Pan Bagnat is a true taste of the French Riviera.
💐 While you’re here, don’t miss the Cours Saleya Flower Market — one of the most colorful and authentic experiences in the Old Town of Nice. Perfect for grabbing a bouquet and a sandwich!
Here are 5 top spots where locals go to enjoy a delicious Pan Bagnat in Nice — complete with addresses and opening hours.
1. Socca à Carras (West Nice)
📍 215 Avenue de la Californie, 06200 Nice
This hidden gem near Carras beach is worth the detour. More relaxed than city center spots, Socca à Carras offers a truly local experience. Their Pan Bagnat is just as good as their famous socca.
