Dominique Le Stanc's small Old Town restaurant keeps traditional Niçoise cooking at the centre of the meal.
La Merenda is a small restaurant on rue Raoul Bosio, close to the Cours Saleya side of the Old Town. Its appeal is specific: Dominique Le Stanc's cooking draws on Nice's own culinary traditions, making it a useful choice when you want the city's food to be the point of the evening.
The restaurant describes a menu shaped by the market and season. Its repertoire includes dishes such as pissaladière, courgette-flower fritters, pistou pasta, daube and chard tart. Treat these as examples of the kitchen's cooking rather than a promise that every dish will be available on your date.
The dining room is compact, with tables close together. That setting suits an intimate local bistro experience; the practical priority is securing a table and confirming the service you want. Michelin independently lists the restaurant at the same street address.
Booking advice circulating online is inconsistent. The current official homepage provides an online reservation link, while an older official page still describes in-person reservations. Follow the current homepage and check that the selected venue is La Merenda. Opening schedules also differ between the restaurant and tourism listings, so a fixed weekly timetable is not reproduced here.

BRA Score — aggregated online reviews
BRA score not calculated: insufficient verified source coverage.
Snapshot consulted on 2026-10-15
BRA-1.0 combines verified public ratings: Google 50%, TheFork 30%, Tripadvisor 20%. Ratings are converted to a ten-point scale and weights are renormalised over eligible sources. At least two platforms are required, each with at least 30 reviews and a combined total of 100 reviews. The result is rounded to one decimal place, with halves rounded up.
Review totals are platform counts, not necessarily unique people. Different source coverage limits comparisons between restaurants. This score does not represent a visit by our team or an award. Historical editorial ratings remain separate.
