The promenade is lined with delightful cafés and restaurants serving fresh seafood, traditional Niçoise dishes such as pissaladière and socca, and classic French desserts like crème brûlée.
Beyond the promenade, Gambetta makes an excellent starting point for exploring Nice’s treasures. Around a 20-minute walk away lies the Old Town (Vieux Nice), a delightful maze of cobbled streets, colourful buildings, and bustling markets.
