What to order
The plates that decide it
- Nicole Rubi's tomatoes, artichoke salad and petits farcis — the opening 'Flavours of Nice' spread is the dish she built the name on
- Beignets de fleurs de courgette — the light, crisp courgette-flower fritters are a fixture
- Whole sea bass baked in a salt crust for two — the dependable centrepiece to share
- Roasted bone marrow with confit tomato — a rich, reliable starter to graze on
- Ordering separate individual mains — you'll eat better, and cheaper per head, by sharing the spread as intended
Plan it well
