Gaglio
About
Gaglio is a beloved brasserie located on the bustling Place Saint‑François, just steps away from the old town of Nice. It has a storied past as a historic jewellery shop, which is still evident in its yellow façade and bronze lettering. Today, it offers a relaxed yet refined dining experience, with a sunny terrace overlooking the lively market stalls and a cozy interior featuring Traditional Niçoise décor. Guests can enjoy a wide range of seasonal dishes— from a hearty breakfast menu that starts at 8 a.m., to lunch classics like pissaladière and pan-seared seabass, to a sumptuous dinner plate of sole meunière and roast chicken. Each dish is made from locally sourced ingredients, showcasing the flavours of the Côte d’Azur. The brasserie’s friendly staff and open‑mouth service make it a perfect spot for families, couples, or solo travellers who appreciate good food in a relaxed setting. Whether you’re popping in for a quick espresso with pastries or staying for a leisurely dinner, Gaglio’s warm ambience and French‑Mediterranean menu make it a memorable culinary stop. Its reputation also stems from the quality wine list curated by a local sommelier, featuring rosés, whites and reds that reflect the region’s vineyards— an ideal complement to any meal.
