Le Socle

Le Socle is a modern, modestly presented restaurant in Nice, founded and run by Dom and Mika, experienced restaurateurs who met in Paris. They opened the restaurant motivated by family ties — Dom from Prades, Mika attached to Nice and Vence — and after the birth of their daughter Leïla. The venue is a Michelin Guide selection. The website presents team and menu in a candid, offbeat tone; the partners embrace a light‑hearted, humorous approach to hospitality. It hosts private events and wedding receptions. Inside, the dining room projects a welcoming vibe; the venue is accessible and air‑conditioned, and the site includes a gallery of dishes and interiors. The kitchen serves cuisine moderne, French‑influenced, prioritising quality products and an emphasis on wine; menus range from refined savory plates to classic French desserts. Specialties: sweetbreads (ris de veau); rum baba (baba au rhum); bone marrow with garlic toast (os à moelle et toast aillé); soft‑boiled egg with mushrooms (oeuf mollet et champignons); fish carpaccio with Espelette pepper (carpaccio de poisson et piment d'Espelette); fruit pavlova (pavlova aux fruits); chocolate soufflé (soufflé chocolat).
