Chez Thérésa

We ordered to go a socca to try the Nice must to eat staple. It has nutty flavor and a little moist but not to the point of being soggy. A socca is enough to fulfill a person’s tummy to be prepared for climbing the Castle hill. We’ll definitely come back in our next summer trip.

I tried the Socca and Trouchia at Chez Thérésa and loved both. I actually just ran into this stand when I walked around the old town, so it was a surprise for my trip today. The socca was freshly made. warm, crispy on the edges and very soft inside – simple yet so satisfying, especially with a dash of black pepper. It’s my first time having it and I was amazed! The portion is large. €3 The trouchia (Swiss chard omelet) was flavorful, moist, and full of herbs – very traditional and comforting. I hope I can get a freshly made one though, but serving as cold also good. €3.5

Reasonably priced Nicoise street food. The Socca is the star of the show here, with its mix of crispy, soft, and salty bits. There was a bit of a queue, but it goes quickly, and there's shade to keep you sheltered from the sun. There's also a dine-in area a few steps from the shop, but make sure to buy a drink. I walked past their market location but would recommend coming here instead as the Socca is freshly baked on-site.

Great Socca, slow line. Also, skip the other things. We also got the pissaladiere as well and it was so thick I did not enjoy it and couldn’t taste the anchovies only onion. I included a pic. The line is so slow also. When I got there the line was at the near corner which is like 5-10 meters lol and it took 20 minutes to get to the front. The socca was crispy and light. Really good. Was my fav. They have a seating area across the alley but you have to buy a drink to sit there

Socca, socca, socca, one of the most sought after treats of Nice France. Chez Theresa did not disappoint. The picture does this tasty treat, no justice. It was indeed delightful and packed full of favor. Socca is basically a pancake or crepe made of out chick pea flour. Let me be the first to tell you that if you are ever in Nice, France, you have to at least try Socca. It is a nice snack for walking around or sitting and having a drink with it. It was a well seasoned, non-sweet treat that will easily par well with an aperol spiritz of espresso martini. Ever bite was flavorful. I was pleasantly surprised by how good this dish actually was. The line at the actual restaurant was a lot shorter than their food stand at the marketplace. The restaurant Chez Theresa was about a 3 minute walk from the marketplace food stand. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Whenever I visit Nice again, I will definitely be grabbing some more Socca.

Authentic, crispy and flavourful socca. We also got the tourte de blettes (swiss chard pie with rice) which was decent, but the star of the show was the socca. Top tip: go to the one that is not in the market - that hole in the wall branch is where the socca is made so it is more fresh and you can wait in the shade. You can also sit inside if you buy a drink. At the market in cours saleya, you have to wait in the sun for the socca to be delivered via bicycle if it runs out.

During our tour, Emilia told us about socca and highly recommended trying it at Chez Thérésa. So naturally, my friends and I complied, because when a guide with all the facts tells you where to eat, you listen. We stood in line, ordered our food, and I asked about the different dishes. The woman at the counter was super friendly and patiently explained everything to me. We ended up getting 2x socca, pissaladière, touchia, and pizza ratatouille. We shared it among friends. Everything was tasty and it is a must try when in Nice. Since we sat inside, we also had to order drinks. That was fine as the whole place had a cozy vibe.

With the French Riviera pass we tasted the famous Socca. It was good. There is a long line but the staff is very polite and welcoming. Can sit inside only when you buy a drink. We tried some other local delicacies as well here.

Local small shop. The line was super duper long (took maybe an hour), but wanted to try it out because I heard of lots of good things. When I finally got to the front, the workers were super nice! The soccas were huge!! And were flavorful! Also a good price! They had other food items, but I just wanted to try the socca. Would go back, even with the long line. There's also a seating area across the street either tables, but I just took it to go since there are tons of other shops in the area.

Nice local fare for an economical lunch. The only drawback is the queue. There is almost always a wait and it moves slowly. I don't know why it takes so long except the production cannot keep up with the demand. One alternative is to find the bike which sells socca at the market. Socca is a nice snack made of chickpea batter. Think dosa with a thicker skin. Also,pan bagiat, nicoise salad in a sandwich. There are also a variety of pizzas, desserts, and pies. What should be a simple takeaway can take anywhere from half an hour or more. Hence, not the full five stars.

Just don't get they hype. Always nice to try local traditions but don't get what the big deal is. Stood in line for 30 minutes. Not worth it imo. Not bad, but wouldn't recommend to anyone in the states who asked me where they should go in Nice. Even for price and "fast food" I'd suggest something else.

when in Nice, go eat some socca. a crispy, savory flatbread of milled chickpea and olive oil, which to purists must be baked in a woodburning stove. well here it's on a fire-spitting drum and Theresa's socca sells as fast as it cooks to a never ending queue. sprinkle some black pepper and pair with a cup of ice-chilled rosê. fast food, french riviera style.

Go to the stand at the market. That way, you get to see the Socca Schlepper deliver the socca on his bicycle. Plus, you get to see the Socca Drama Queen dish it out. The Socca itself is just okay but the show is worth the price of admission, which is 3 Euro for a small serving. You can actually just come for the show and get better Socca nearby at a number of places.

Best socca in the city. Worth the wait. Go to the open market and get a piece in parchment paper. If you are in the city you have to try this.

Standing in line for Socca (Nice chick-pea crepe) was well worth it. She (Therese) ran out so we had to wait for the guy on the scooter to deliver some more. When he arrived, she scooped some up and placed on some type of parchment paper. Add some pepper and you're ready to eat. Be really careful, it is HOT (temperature wise). 3€. You MUST TRY when you are in Nice. Look for a woman hovering over a black barrel in front of La Cambuse Restaurant.
