Rooftop Restaurant In Nice At Elaïo

Elaïo takes its name from ἐλαία, the ancient Greek word for olive. At this rooftop restaurant in Nice, above the Promenade des Anglais, that word has guided everything. A hidden gem in the heart of Nice, Elaïo is where locals and travelers alike come to experience the Mediterranean the way Chef Marc Salichon knows it. As he puts it: “The olive is more than just an ingredient. It's a culture, an emotion, a memory. I love working with it as a living material to reveal its many nuances.”

Elaïo

Elaïo — from the ancient Greek ἐλαία, meaning "olive" — embodies the Mediterranean art of living in its most generous and sun-drenched form.

Inspired by seasonal ingredients and southern craftsmanship, the cuisine celebrates the olive in all its forms — now enhanced by Lucangeli olive oils.
From lunch under the sun to dinner overlooking the sea, each moment at Elaïo is an invitation to slow down and savour.
