I was in Nice in France last week for five lovely days of sunshine… luckily the minute I got back to London I was greeted by a heat wave. Hurrah!
Temperatures in London this weekend were the highest on record for October!
It feels like the middle of summer right now – we were even let off work early every day last week to enjoy the good weather. Jammy!
While in Nice we managed to visit one of the few vegan/vegetarian restaruants there – Le Speakeasy
I love holidays, but more often than not the choice of vegetarian food can be limited to risotto and pasta… which is ok once or twice but not the sort of food you want to eat every day – way too heavy and rich! And little salads just aren’t filling enough when you’ve been wandering about and swimming all day.
Le Speakeasy is a very small restaurant – it really feels like dining in somebody’s kitchen.
So if you’re looking for a big swanky restaurant it probably isn’t for you. It is run by Jan a Californian native who has lived in France for years. All the food is fresh and such a nice change from rich French food.
We were the first to arrive in the restaurant and chose a nice little table beside a massive colourful wall. The menu itself was pretty small but decent – for started there was carrot juice, pate or miso soup – I went for the carrot juice – which was made fresh and was delish.
There was two choice of mains, a sweet potato pie or a choice of quinoa and almond sauce. I went for the pie option which came with a massive salad of rocket and beetroot and as much olives as you can handle! For desert there was a few choices including rice cream, banana and date ice cream and apple pie.
For drinks there was fresh juices, organic beer, red wine… but no white! It didn’t bother me particularly as I hate wine *shock shock* but I can see how that may not go down with everyone.
And here’s some other pics from Nice below…
No sand on the beaches tho’ – stoney! Which is grand really as I don’t like sand – I always get in my eyes and all over my clothes… the stones did make it difficult to walk tho’!
