Chez Rene Socca features a perpetually long queue spilling onto the street and the unmistakable scent of chickpea flour frying in deep copper pans. This humble shop serves socca, a traditional Niçoise pancake made of water, olive oil, and chickpea flour. Rene opened this spot decades ago to feed laborers and locals looking for a quick, filling meal. The recipe relies on an extremely hot oven to create a crispy, golden crust while keeping the interior soft and moist.
