La Merenda
An Old Nice bistro run by former two-star chef Dominique Le Stanc, offering Michelin Bib Gourmand-recommended home-style Nissart cuisine.
La Merenda is located on Rue Raoul Bosio in Old Nice and has only about 20 seats. It is run by Dominique Le Stanc, former recipient of two Michelin stars, and holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand in 2026. The blackboard menu changes seasonally, commonly featuring pissaladière, Nice-style tripe, stockfish, Swiss chard tart, and lemon tart, along with pistou soup. The average spend is about €34–45 per person, cash only. There is no telephone; reservations must be made in person or via the official website lamerenda.net. Operating days vary by source, but Tuesday to Friday is the most reliable.
