Being immensely popular, and having no telephone, La Merenda is hard to get into. The restaurant is run by Dominique le Stanc, former head chef of the Negresco's famed Chantecler of which it is the absolute antithesis: the menu chalked on a blackboard, paper cloths on 12 minuscule tables, back-breaking wooden stools to sit on and an open kitchen small enough to fit inside a camper van. The decor is rustic and the 'peasant' food shrieks authenticity: daube (a beef and vegetable stew) and stockfish are the specialities. Start with coppa, an Italian ham sliced paper-thin and intensely flavoured, or poutine, tiny fish found only between Antibes and Menton. The 'poor food' pudding - melting pastry filled with spinach, apple, pine nuts and raisins - is astonishingly good.

ALZIARI 14 rue Saint-François-de-Paule. This is a shrine for lovers of olive oil. You can buy its oil in London and New York, but get it here for a third of the price, in beautiful cans that preserve the oil better than bottles. The shop is an Ali Baba's cave that also sells tapenade and other delicacies, including orange-blossom water (reputed to send fretful babies to sleep). Auer, just across the street, proclaims '170 Ans de Pères en Fils': a magical patisserie/confiserie with a small teashop tucked in the back, it sells delicious jams.

COLLINE DU CHATEAU Parc du Château: Vieux Nice area. Climb the stairs to the top of the grassy park known as the Colline du Château, where Greeks settled in the 4th century and created a city called Nikaia after the goddess of victory. For magnificent views, continue further up to the highest point, where Friedrich Nietzsche would often stroll while composing his masterwork, Thus Spake Zarathustra.
