Jamie Oliver Deli

Terminal 2’s Jamie Oliver Deli is the “slightly nicer” option

In Terminal 2 at Nice, Jamie Oliver Deli fills the gap between fast food and a sit‑down restaurant, with mains often landing around the €18–€25 mark. It sits on the $$$ side of airport pricing, and the airport‑wide rating averages about 3/5, so set expectations accordingly. Think branded sandwiches, salads and pasta targeted at Air France and easyJet crowds moving through T2.

The menu leans on classic Jamie‑style items: focaccia sandwiches, salads with burrata or pesto, and pasta dishes that sit pre‑made in the counter. Drinks run from bottled soft drinks at roughly €4 up to glasses of wine around €7–€8. Portions get steady complaints for being small for the price, especially compared with grab‑and‑go spots elsewhere in T2.

Multiple Google reviews call out that food tastes pre‑prepared and reheated rather than cooked to order, particularly pasta and hot mains. One reviewer flatly says “food is OK but overpriced,” which lines up with the €20‑ish plates you see on recent photos. If you care more about something a bit nicer than a burger than about value per euro, it still beats a sad €9 triangle sandwich.

Service pace is airport‑standard: queue at the counter, pay, then wait for reheating or assembly, which can run 10–15 minutes during early‑morning and late‑afternoon bank flights in T2. You’re airside, so you’re safe once through security; just don’t cut it tight for Schengen departures from gates B20–B27, since those can involve a short extra walk.

What to order vs skip

• Leaning on cold options like salads and sandwiches usually beats the €20 hot pasta that sits in the bain‑marie.
• Skip anything that looks like it has been under the heat lamps for more than one rotation; reviews mentioning “reheated” are mostly about those dishes.

Practical tip: check the digital menu board for combo deals (sandwich + drink) before ordering; they sometimes shave €3–€4 off compared with picking items separately.
