Our Story

Elaïo - from the ancient Greek ἐλαία, meaning "olive" - embodies the Mediterranean art of living at its most generous, authentic, and sun-drenched. Perched on the 10th floor of Le Méridien Nice, the panoramic terrace offers a true escape suspended above the Baie des Anges.

With a seasonal cuisine inspired by southern ingredients and local craftsmanship, Elaïo celebrates the olive in all its forms - a tribute to the emblematic Mediterranean tree, symbol of peace, sharing, and indulgence.

Elaïo comes from the ancient Greek ἐλαία, meaning "olive". A symbol of peace, generosity, and the Mediterranean spirit, the olive lies at the heart of our identity, our cuisine, and our philosophy.

At Elaïo, we have chosen to partner with Lucangeli, renowned for its expertise and exceptional olive oils and balsamic vinegars. Carefully selected, these products elevate our cuisine and reflect our passion for authentic Mediterranean flavours.
