What to order
The plates that decide it
- Socca — the wood-fired chickpea pancake — made here since 1923 with Annot-mill flour — is the entire reason to come
- Pissaladière — the caramelised-onion-and-anchovy tart, the other local staple
- Tourte de blettes for dessert — the sweet chard pie with raisins and pine nuts is the classic finish
- A full sit-down multi-course dinner — treat it as a socca-and-rosé snack stop, not a destination meal
Plan it well
- Cost
- Very cheap
- Allow
- 45 min–1 hour incl. queue
