Where to eat:

Jeanne Oliver, from French Riviera Traveller recommends Safari and Don Camillo:

Safari in the Cours Saleya is too often overlooked because of its hyper-touristy location. Yet, it's an excellent place to sample real Nicois cuisine, prepared with care. Not everyone loves sliced, raw baby artichokes in a salad but true-blood Nicois wouldn't have it any other way. Although the prices of EUR16 to 30 for a main course seem expensive, actually the portions are copious and the plate is always "garni" with a helping of veggies, or salad, potatoes or rice. A starter would be superfluous. I also like the decor. Outside is the busy Cours Saleya but indoors the rooms are attractively decorated and the walls adorned with interesting art. It's bright, animated and somewhat noisy. For a quiet, classy choice, I would go for Don Camillo, on the edge of the Old Town. The dinner is upper end but the lunch at I think 25 or 30 (must check) is excellent value. The cuisine is Mediterranean-inspired but the chef has a creative take on it. And some classic French dishes like foie gras (which I don't eat but some people do) are reportedly superb. You can really take anyone there from your meat-and-potatoes Dad to your metrosexual cousin from Paris.

Julie Ruelland recommends La ville de Sienne: "It is one of the best restaurants I know of in Nice. Excellent homemade pasta (I had something with pancetta, fresh cream, parmesan and a reduction of balsamic Vinegar - awesome), friendly service and a very nice setting with an open kitchen where you can see the chef cooking."

by Heather Cowper, My Blogging Journey

Most bloggers work extremely hard on their sites and get very little financial return from them, and they don’t want to feel they are being taken for a ride by those who see them as a source of ‘free’ promotion.



Don’t send impersonal press releases to a random list of bloggers, your efforts are better spent on targeted individual approaches.




Don’t send offers of ‘free’ content which are thinly disguised link building campaigns – most bloggers realise that links from their site have a value and they are sensitive about publishing articles that reduce the trust of their audience.

Don’t expect bloggers to writeabout your travel service unlessthey have experienced it for themselves – it’s better to make the invitation to ask them to try it out at no cost.
