Maranna Brunch

Maranna brunches in the heart of Old Nice, on Rue Benoit Bunico, in a pared-down setting under a leafy ceiling. The principle is simple: you build your brunch a la carte, all day long, as you please. A pancake house doubled with a specialty-coffee corner.

On the menu, the genre's essentials: sweet and savoury pancakes, avocado toast, eggs, bacon, French toast, not to mention the crab brioche that made its name. The very high average rating makes it one of Nice's safe brunch bets.

Good to know

Open every day, from morning to mid-afternoon. Terrace in the Old Nice lane. Busy at weekends.

Visitor reviews

Highlights: The build-your-own brunch, refined and generous, wins everyone over. Visitors cite the pancakes, the crab brioche and the specialty coffee. The cosy, leafy, photogenic decor and the smiling welcome of the teams come up constantly in feedback.

Areas for improvement: Busy spells make a wait likely at the weekend. Prices sit at the upper end for a brunch.

Overall impression: One of the best brunch addresses in Old Nice, for the quality of the plates, the decor and the welcome. Book or come early.
