The hillside residential quarter above the city with Roman ruins, the Matisse Museum and a Russian Orthodox cathedral. Quiet bistros and a slower food rhythm.
Cimiez is the hillside quarter above Nice, home to Roman ruins, the Matisse Museum and a Russian Orthodox cathedral. Its bistros are quiet and its food rhythm slow, tuned to residents rather than the beach crowds below. Pair lunch with the Matisse; the neighbourhood is built for that day.
We have not yet tagged places to Cimiez itself, so here are the ones close by. The rest are in the Nice food guide and the neighbourhood index.
