Tired of French cuisine? Then grab a bite to eat at tapas restaurant El Merkado, located in the heart of old Nice. The interior is a bit funky, but the atmosphere is very cosy! Outside there is a very spacious terrace, in the middle of all the hustle and bustle of the nearby Cours Saleya.
At El Merkado they take their tapas, served in small bowls, very seriously. That is why everything is prepared with local and seasonal products. Of course they serve sangria, but it's worth trying one of the many original cocktails. The Don Quichotte, a vodka-based drink, is a real classic!
