over 50 years, this traditional auberge in Old Nice from its advantageous position 
nestled in the side streets, has served first class typical Niçoise cuisine. Although 
L'Escalinada is located on a street that would suggest a tourist restaurant, expect

the Nicoise specials done to perfection: swiss chard-filled gnocchi, tripes a
