Our local artisans & hosts

Gusta Nissa is, first and foremost, a group of people passionate about authentic Nice. Behind every tasting, every address, and every favorite, there's a person: a craftsperson, a producer, a local host who shares their trade and their love for the local Niçois terroir. And we've chosen each and every one of them ourselves.

We never work with just anyone. Never. That's our only rule, and it's non-negotiable.

How we choose our craftspeople

Before highlighting an address or taking you somewhere, we always apply the same criteria:

The product first. We taste before we talk. If it doesn't truly excite us, we won't reference it — even if we like the person.
Genuine expertise. Sincere craftsmanship, handmade, homemade. No industrial products disguised as "artisan."
The human touch. Passionate people who have a story, a place, an honest word — people we're happy to introduce to you.
Local roots. Nice, the hinterland, the French Riviera. Terroir, not marketing.
Transparency. We know where what's in your glass and on your plate comes from — and we tell you.

In the Magazine: an independent voice

In our magazine, we highlight craftspeople, producers, and good products in a broad sense — not just our partners. And we do so completely independently.

Our word is not for sale. We are never paid to talk about someone. No disguised sponsored articles, no purchased "favorites." When we recommend an address, it's because we believe in it — plain and simple.

This neutrality is what gives value to what we write: if we tell you a place is worth a detour, you can believe us.

For tastings: our highest level of standards

When it comes to the experiences we sell you, the bar is raised even higher. We never take our clients somewhere we haven't personally experienced.

These are partners we know, whom we've met, tested, and re-tested, and to whom we would go with our eyes closed. When we take you to them, we put our name on the line.

Out of respect for them, we present their craft and their values here, not their brand name: you book with Gusta Nissa, and we accompany you from start to finish — booking, bilingual welcome, group organization.

The professions we introduce you to

The sommelier

A lover of Provence wines and the Bellet vineyard, he takes you on a journey from one grape variety to another, from a discovery glass to a blind tasting. Pedagogical and unpretentious: he conveys the essentials, pleasure and curiosity.

The cheese maker

He knows his producers by their first names. With him, aged cheeses and charcuterie become a story of terroir, altitude, and seasons — to be enjoyed classically or with your eyes closed.

The brewer & the mixologist

On one hand, Niçois craft beers to discover up close with those who brew them. On the other, the cocktail workshop where you get behind the bar, and the tasting of the famous Chartreuse. The creative and festive side of tasting.
