Boulangerie la Perle d'Amour sur Nice

27/03/2026: - MAKE SHAPKO GREAT AGAIN - I’ve been going to Shapko for about fifteen years now, roughly once or twice a quarter. What, until a few years ago, was a high-quality venue for lovers of live music is slowly but surely losing the very essence of what once made it so prestigious. The clientele has grown younger and, frankly, deteriorated. Gone are the well-heeled forty-somethings who used to fill the place not so long ago. As for the service, the days of the exceptional staff, who played such a key role in shaping the atmosphere, are clearly over. I ordered a beer €9, left a tip €2, yet the barman didn’t even bother to look me in the eye. Not a word, not a smile. You’re simply there to consume and pay. As for having a good evening, that’s apparently your concern, not the staff’s. Shapko remains a venue that stands above average in the Old Town of Nice. But it seems this is now largely down to its reputation. Without a proper reset in terms of both clientele and service, it is, quite unmistakably, living on borrowed time. Please, make Shapko great again.
