La Merenda de la place is one of those hidden village addresses that we share by whispering to each other so as not to lose a bit of our privacy... This gourmet table is nestled in the heart of the village of Gattières. No signs, we climb the steps of the old town to reach the pretty flower square.
David, the chief owner is a local child from Gattières. His passion for cooking led him to leave his first job to open a successful food truck. Then, he launched into his first real restaurant by taking over an old inn that was in decline to make it the Mérenda de la Place.
His credo? A passionate cuisine, high quality products and a resolutely "Locavore" spirit with vegetables from local market gardeners. The recipes smell of Nice cuisine (excellent zucchini flower fritters and stuffed petits, Niçoise salad, stewed stew...) and revisit with ease the specialities of the south such as linguines and risottos. The slate changes every Wednesday and you can discover the week's suggestions according to the market. Note the excellent meats (Wagyu, Black Angus) that are usually found only in large houses.
