Lucia: A Dazzling New Culinary Destination Inspired by Sunlight and Style

A fresh chapter in Riviera dining has begun with the opening of Lucia, the latest creation from the visionary team behind the Nikki Beach Hospitality Group. Known for shaping iconic hospitality experiences across the globe, the group now brings their signature flair to this bold beachfront restaurant — a celebration of Mediterranean vibrancy infused with a refreshing sense of elegance and creativity.

Lucia isn’t just a place to dine — it’s an immersion into color, rhythm, and light. Drawing inspiration from the Latin word “lux,” meaning “light,” the restaurant pays homage to the ever-shifting beauty of the sun. As the day goes on, Lucia transforms from a peaceful morning spot into a lively dining space, reflecting the changing light and warmth.

Its interiors reflect this philosophy with a joyful blend of patterns, tactile materials, and sun-soaked tones. Guests are welcomed into a playful yet refined environment where every detail evokes the essence of the Côte d’Azur lifestyle — where luxury, spontaneity, and pleasure come together seamlessly.

Lucia’s menu is a dynamic ode to Cuisine du Soleil — the radiant culinary style rooted in regions blessed by generous sunlight. Crafted with seasonal ingredients and infused with Mediterranean charm, each dish is a testament to freshness, simplicity, and sensory delight.

Signature offerings include the delicate Tartare de Bœuf à l’Italienne with marinated artichokes, shallots, and shaved truffle pecorino, and the Gravlax de Saumon Maison, featuring house-cured salmon paired with dill, confit lemon, and a tahini ranch. For a lighter indulgence, the Lobster & Lettuce Hearts salad layers sweet lobster meat with kumquat confit, croutons, and Italian vinaigrette.

Pasta lovers can savor Linguini alla Vongole, bursting with clams, cherry tomatoes, garlic, and white wine, or the indulgent Pinsa à la Truffe, elevated with summer truffle, mozzarella, and arugula. Poultry fans will enjoy the Chicken Caesar Milanese, a playful twist on a classic, featuring breaded chicken, poached egg, baby romaine, croutons, and Parmesan. To crown the experience, the Sturia Caviar Beurre Blanc delivers rich French butter sauce topped with fine caviar and fresh chives — an elegant tribute to indulgence.

Complementing the cuisine is an expertly curated cocktail menu, with each drink as vibrant and expressive as the dishes. Lucia invites guests to pair their meal with a chilled glass of rosé or a signature cocktail crafted to capture the energy of the Riviera sun.

More than just a restaurant, Lucia is a living, breathing celebration — a space where music, food, and light come together in harmony. From leisurely lunches to sunset apéritifs, Lucia promises a radiant journey through Mediterranean flavors, all set against the breathtaking backdrop of the sea.
