Very good family owned restaurant in Old Town. Traditional Nicoise food and great steaks. Try as a starter Petit Facis (vegetables stuffed with meat) and then have the Daube (a traditional Nicoise stew). It’s always busy so reservations are necessary. They are sometimes so busy that they don't have time to answer the phone. Stop by in the afternoon for a dinner reservation
