La Merenda

Behind the vintage façade of this dinky restaurant, dripping in charm and simplicity, lies a genuine culinary landmark of Nice. Dominique Le Stanc rustles up nostalgic local dishes (pissaladière, tripe à la niçoise, stockfish, chard pie, lemon tart, etc.), steeped in big-boned, authentic flavours. Tightly packed tables and made-to-measure ceramic tableware amidst a profusion of eclectic works of art set the buzzy scene. N.B. no telephone – bookings are either online or in person… Cash only too.
