Grand Café de Turin

Grand Café de Turin Review

Whether you squeeze onto a banquette in the dark, low-ceiling bar or win a coveted table under the arcaded porticoes on Place Garibaldi, this is the place to go for shellfish in Nice: sea snails, clams, plump fines de claires, and salty bleues oysters, and urchins by the dozen. It's packed noon and night (and has been since it opened in 1910), so don't be too put off by the sometimes brusque reception of the waiters.
