The read// why locals go

Lou Pilha Leva feeds the Nice old town from a hatch on Rue du Collet — pan bagnat, salade niçoise and petits farcis, eaten at benches in the alley. The name is Niçois for "take it and go", and the format follows: order at the window, carry your tray out, find room at the communal tables set up in the lane. Prices stay near €12, which is what makes it usable daily rather than occasionally in a quarter where most terraces charge visitor rates. The dishes are the standard Niçoise repertoire without embellishment — a properly soaked pan bagnat, stuffed vegetables, a salade niçoise that keeps to the local rules about what does and does not belong in it.
