Menton's culinary traditions have absorbed the best of the national cuisines of two countries - France and Italy. Seafood is considered to be the resort's specialty. Prices in restaurants in Menton are not the cheapest, as well as on the entire Cote d'Azur. But tourists with low incomes can always have a snack in street stalls and fast food outlets for a couple or three euros.
Seafood dishes are considered to be the specialties, and meat lovers will enjoy beef "po nitzki" and tender pates. We also recommend you to try such dishes while in Menton: ravioli with vegetables, socca pancakes, nicoise salad, stuffed vegetables farsi, grilled fish, all seafood dishes.
