Aperitiv

Un lieu sympa où l’on peut trouver de bons produits du sud mais pas que.
Un large choix de bieres et vins, une épicerie sympa avec un accueil et des conseils agréables.
En vacances à Nice, on a aimé faire le plein de bonnes choses pour l’apéro chez Aperitiv

La boutique Apéritiv est une épicerie dédiée à l’apéro à deux pas de la Place Garibaldi !
Une soirée à organiser? Vous y trouverez le nécessaire pour réussir votre apéro :D donc pas de panique !
Cette maison de l’apéro est tenue par Thomas et Erwan, 2 trentenaires dynamiques et à l’écoute. Ils ont un grand sens du service.
Après 2 ans de préparation, ils nous proposent des produits triés sur le volet et de qualité. Verdict: une belle sélection pour tous les goûts et à prix raisonnables.
Le concept est bien pensé: 1 lieu pour 3 univers ! Alimentation, boissons et accessoires !
Côté produits alimentaires, j’aime me diriger vers La Tartinothèque, c’est l’espace «grignotage». Il y a également un rayon frais avec charcuterie (jambon de Bayonne d’Eric Ospital, exceptionnel) et fromage à la coupe. Les olives et fruits secs sont en libre-​service en vrac.
Côté boissons, des classiques bien sûr mais aussi des produits originaux comme des whiskies japonais et bières rares.
Thomas et Erwan ont pensé à tout. Pour compléter votre commande, vous pouvez vous laisser tenter par l’espace accessoires ! Il est aussi possible de composer vos coffrets cadeaux.
A savoir: Aperitiv organise parfois des Aperitastes de 19h30 à 21h (participation 5 €): dégustation de whiskies, rhums arrangés …
Le petit plus: le côté ludique et convivial.
Bref, pour reprendre leur devise «faites l’apéritif, pas la guerre» ! J’adore ^^

Aperitiv is a new kind of food business for Nice.
It is the coolest little shop carrying items for the perfect picnic, soirée, gourmet snack, drinks with friends, etc events.
I stumbled upon Aperitiv while walking through the neighborhood after being in the old Port of Nice.
When I walked in, I was excited. There were shelves and shelves of wine, spirits. Barrels of different kinds of olives which you could scoop up and self serve or pick up already prepared packages. There was a display case with different types of cheese and charcuterie. There were eating accessories that you might need like plates, napkins, bottle opener.
I chatted with the man behind the counter and I found out he was the co-​owner of the shop (and a former management consultant who had worked in Paris but had returned after several years to his home region of Nice). He and a management consultant colleague had decided to open this venture and had only been in business for a short time. They had taken over a year to choose all the items they wanted to stock in the shop. What a delight.
I asked him if he had a sweet wine in a small bottle. Unfortunately, he only had sweet wines in regular sized bottles which are a little too much for me to drink. After a bit of nosing around though, he recalled that he had an opened bottle of ice wine available for sampling. He whipped out a small glass and gave me a taste for free. It was delicious!!!
I ended up buying some lovely goat cheese and some delicious charcuterie which he sliced on the machine and packaged himself. Really hands on service here.
Also to note: his shop supplies or advises on the wine for the little restaurant opposite the entrance of the store across the street. So if you want to try some wine that they sell, you just have to pop over to the restaurant and check out the selection there.
What a great find: a food entrepreneur who wants to evolve the food scene in Nice. At the same time I also support the traditional way of going to a particular shop focused on particular products (say all cheese, all bread, whatever). I think both can co-​exist happily.
However people can deliver food to consumers to make it less intimidating and more available, I totally like that. And you’ll love Apertiiv once you experience it yourself.
