Maranna Brunch

At 31 rue Benoît Bunico, in Old Nice, Maranna is the 2025 brunch revelation. Founded by two sisters — Claudia and Carla — returning from Australia and New Caledonia with the desire to share their brunch culture and their grandmother's culinary heritage (the address bears her name in her honour), Maranna offers a concept unique to Nice: you compose your own brunch according to your preferences, throughout the day, with no set menu constraints.

The setting is immediately seductive — a fully vegetal ceiling in terracotta and green tones creating a tropical, serene atmosphere. Refined decoration, wood tables and soft lighting make Maranna somewhere you want to linger. Google rating: 4.6/5 for 100+ reviews, cited as 'summer 2025 favourite' by several local guides.

Menu & Specialities

The menu is free and modular — sweet or savoury pancakes, avocado toasts, eggs every way (scrambled, Benedict, on toast), crispy bacon, French toast, acaï bowls. Must-tries cited in reviews: Sunbacon (two cereal bread slices with eggs and bacon, €9), red fruit French toast with coulis and ice cream, salted caramel pancakes. Fresh, quality produce. Dishes from €9 to €18.

Atmosphere

Natural, convivial and welcoming. Maranna is described as 'a place where you feel welcome from the door'. The young, passionate team is often named individually in reviews. Ideal for family or friend brunches, solo with a book or romantic duo.

Guest Reviews

Highlights: Vegetal setting rated 'magnificent' and 'unique in Nice'. Sunbacon described as a 'delight' that satisfies on its own. Red fruit French toast 'a masterpiece'. Service 'attentive and full of warmth'. Free concept (no set menu) greatly appreciated.

Areas for improvement: Establishment is still recent — service times can be slightly long during busy periods. Capacity is limited — reservation advised at weekends.

Maranna is Old Nice's brunch for those who want authenticity, freedom and nature — a familial, sincere and soulful address that will endure.
