My friend is the handsome guy in the background in the 2nd restaurant. So proud😭
Dear Aila & Anja, I live in Nice but have never eaten at "Le safari" before. Thanks to your video we gave it a try last night with our kids and friends and we all really enjoyed great food, a really nice waiter & good service. Thanks for your advice! 🙂
I love your channel. I am from NYC and mainly like to go to SE Asia for vacation, but in Europe, Nice is my #1 city to visit.
Just realized we're talking about "ananas" in this video… that's French and German for "pineapple"… in case you were wondering what the hell Aila is trying to say there 😂
PS: there are many more vocab and grammar mistakes, we know, please forgive us!!!
I went to No 3, le Safari in early evening so I don’t need to wait. Octopus carpaccio ❤, dessert I have lemon meringue tart, it is soft sponge with tart, lemon ice cream (not sweet must be homemade) and raspberry sauce. Thank you for your video!
A potential video idea that would be very interesting to watch: what are some of the courses or educational opportunities in and around Nice? This could be summer courses (e.g. cooking or art or language, etiquette) or longer-term going to school there! Reason I'm asking is: When I was 13 on vacation in Nice, my Mom came across a little Lycee run by a very wonderful French lady. I met her and would have very much liked to study there (…aber meine Mutter wollte mich dann doch nicht so ganz aus dem Auge lassen, ganz allein in Nizza. Ich dagegen haette es liebend gerne gemacht.)
Please dont pretend to be a reporter that voice is very offputting we cant concentrate on the great content that you provide!
Laddies, thank you so much. I have so many clients coming to my place after your YouTube explanation ! I love you too ❤
Are you vegans?
“And I ordered pasta with pesto” a classic as you call it. And you cut it with a knife. Your barbaric and in an Italian restaurant you would have been killed.
Too much four used in dishes
Everything looks yummy and the places are really cool. Thank you! Great job.
You guys are so cute! Thanks for sharing! Im enjoying all your videos.
is your girlfriend german?
how can you do a food tour video and not know what an anchovy is ???
The creperie does unfortunately not exist anymore 😢. It was a goodplace indeed.the salad nicoise you had atthe Safari was indeed very average. The genuine salad nicoise should be tomato based… no mesclun in theory. Most restaurants served it with lots of mesclun, because it is cheap and create some volume.
Sorry but I can’t accept restaurant recommendations from one who cuts their pasta with a fork and knife 😅😂
In March, I will definitely try the food in one of these restaurants, socca for sure😊 thank you for sharing 😊
MDR la taille des portions du numero 4 ^^
Agreed. You cannot cut pasta with a fork or knife.
I live in Nice and these are not the restaurants where locals go to eat. There are places we go for lunch every day and others to celebrate a birthday. Giving away the real spots would spoil everything for us, so sorry I won't.
It was so fun running into you at Le Safari recently. The fact that you went back there for dinner shows that it is not just a tourist spot. I can report that I had probably THE BEST fried calamari of my life that night! So very light breading and melt in your mouth texture- I never thought I’d ever say that about calamari, which so often is chewy. I loved our visit to Nice and if/when we go back we’ll definitely eat at Le Safari again (and maybe run into you again 😂)
Art Bistro has closed (not sorry to see it go) and a better restaurant has taken its place
Hi. Love you videos. We plan to get the lignesdazur 7 day pass. Besides Nice, will this include ville franche Sur mer, eze and the other day trip towns you mentioned in your other video? Which ones specifically? Thanks.
Love your, in front camera speaking voice… Good vid… Thx much 🙏🏽👍🏽
Hi Anja & Aila! We are Pavel & Edel from California. We have been watching your videos and we really enjoy them. Thank you for so much helpful information! 🙂 We are going to be for 4 days in Nice at the end of August, but we arrive on a Sunday. We have heard that many restaurants and shops are closed on Sundays. Could you please guide us on places to go to eat on that first day? Thank you so much! Blessings to both of you <3
French cuisine is pretentious, boring and overpriced!
.
Your video editing is great .
😎☘️☘️☘️.

Le Safari was the worst experience in Nice. Foturnately, I did not know it from you. You just need an update 🙂
Any chance for the tip of the trip to Paris. Please 🙏
Hello great videos you make! The small 🐟 is anchovies. At the salad with tuna and egg. ❤
👍
Thanks for telling us about Monaco. Now I feel as if I have being there in real life. Have a good day from Utah, USA.
These places appear to be the places I’d avoid, expensive, sterile and soulless.
chez Pipo the must ! La meranda absolument y aller …. Le Safari tr´s touristique mais une adresse typique de Nice Acchardio rue droite …. il faut y allez
DON´T CUT THE NOODLES!
'NICE' (Bella Nizza!) , MONACO, MONTE CARLO and CORSICA should have remained with Italy… They will always retain their original ITALIAN ambience…most all the names of cities and towns in Corsica are still in Italian. Doesn't matter if they are in France. Napoleon , Garibaldi, the Grimaldi's, The Medici family of Florence (birthplace of the Renaissance) were Italian. They are cousins no matter what…just the language is different…the French language rose from the ashes of the Roman empire. JOHN CABOT another Italian explorer (real name: JOHN CABOTO) secured much of what is now Eastern Canada for the British. FRANCE has always benefited from having countries like Italy, Spain, Germany as neighbors.
Here🎉we go to enjoy it 🤗😘
Thank you for the video!
