Aéroport Nice Côte d'Azur Jamié's Deli — Restaurant in Nice

Dearest James Trevor Oliver,

I am struggling to find the words to express my disgust and disappointment with the dining experience I was subjected to at your “Jamie’s Deli” dining establishment in the Nice Airport in France.

Never in my 24 and a half years of life have I been so let down by a meal.

Upon arrival into the departures lounge I found myself famished from a busy day of promenading up and down the main beach, when I was met with a feeling of elation upon seeing your highly regarded name upon the wall, signalling that I was in the presence of one of your fine establishments.

I made my way in with eager anticipation as to what delicious discovery awaited me. As I scanned the array of food in the cabinet my eyes settled upon the meal that would soon send me into a pit of despair. The chicken caesar baguette.

As I took my long awaited first bite I was met with instant displeasure. The baguette consisted of a stale poppy seed bun which encased a small selection of rotisserie chicken, wet wilting lettuce and a singular tomato. And what’s worse, the mysterious white dressing in which the lettuce swam, in no way resembled the holy creation that is Caesar salad dressing. Tears welling in my eyes, I stared upwards to the heavens and made a silent prayer asking god how such blatant disrespect to the institution that is the chicken Caesar could be made? I knew in that moment that even the great Julius Caesar himself would be dismayed at the abominations being done in his name.

At this point I have no further time in my existence with which I wish to discuss this matter, except to say to you, James Trevor Oliver, watch yo self.

I sincerely hope this message finds you before I do.

Over priced. Poor quality. May as well get a Mars bar from duty free. Don’t bother.

€21 for a meal for two consisting of a ham toastie, a salad, coffee (which had to be sent back first time as what arrived was dishwater with milk) and a bottle of water. Barbaric.

The toastie has a single, measly slice of ham in it and hardly any cheese. As for the salad, at €8.50 this is the worst - the pasta was over cooked (crumbled in my mouth) and for such a high cost the size of it is ridiculous (see photo coffee cup for comparison).

So, €21 later and we’re still hungry and feeling utterly ripped off. (1l bottle of water €3.80).

I get that airports are expensive because it’s easy pickings but I can’t understand why Jamie Oliver would put his name to this kind of sub par, extortionate food.

On a positive note, the...

I cannot comment on the food as a packet of crisps does not really count. I was hoping for a baguette however, the limited stale looking selection on offer was not appetising. The thing that really annoyed me, the member of staff that was belittling the poor guy in front of me that had his card declined; huffing and puffing which I felt was unnecessary. When it was my turn to be served, there was some overly dramatic heavy breathing exercises, followed by a public display of putting the previous unsuccessful customer potential sustenance back on the shelves - one by one before my goods would be put through the till. Beyond that, the fridges were poorly stocked and the red wine was in the fridge!? If Jamie has anything to do with this now, I...
