With the sun shining brightly on the Promenade des Anglais, it's hard to resist the call for a drink on the terrace. In Nice, there are the super touristy spots… and then there are these delightful hidden gems, perfect for sipping a cocktail or a spritz with the Mediterranean as your backdrop. Here are our 5 favorite terraces in Nice to enjoy a drink in the sun!

The + thrilling: The Terrace of the Méridien

Perched at the top of the Le Méridien hotel, La Terrasse is one of the highest rooftops on the Promenade. The view is simply amazing: the sea stretches as far as the eye can see, the rooftops of Nice at your feet, and the sky ablaze at sunset. The vibe? Chic but relaxed! People come here to enjoy...mix a house martini or a cocktail of the day, in a clean decor bathed in light. And if you feel a bit hungry, the menu cleverly blends French, Italian, and Asian influences.

The + Bohemian: Farago on the Roof

Head over to the AC Hotel by Marriott to discover Farago on the Roof, a stylish and cozy rooftop with a stunning 360° panoramic view of the city and the big blue sea. The decor has a chic bohemian vibe: cushions, sofas, light wood, plants… a bubble of softness just about ten minutes from the center. At Farago, gin is king, boasting a well-stocked menu for enthusiasts, not to mention the lovely tapas to share in the sun. The atmosphere is fantastic, especially in the summer when the terrace transforms into a fun and relaxed party spot.

If you're looking for a truly extraordinary bar, then head to Plongeoir, a spot perched on a rocky promontory right above the waves. This former 19th-century fishing boat turned terrace restaurant is as beautiful as it is historic. People come for the dreamy setting, but also for the Mediterranean dishes made from local ingredients, carefully selected wines, and lively evenings. Away from the crowds, you can toast almost with your feet in the water, in a totally unique setting in Nice – a truly unforgettable experience.
