So, I just got back from New Hampshire and Dublin and am organizing my thoughts on that so I can share all the foods with everyone- in the meantime, I got a request from my friend Sharoni about where to eat in Nice, France since she is heading there for work. There is a restaurant there that is so good, so special, and so memorable that I wanted to tell everyone even though I myself haven't been to Nice for about 5 years!

The restaurant is called La Merenda- you will not find much about it online, if anything. There is no phone so you have to go one day in person to make a reservation, then go back when it's time to eat! It is a sublime example of well-done simplicity. The place is tiny and has extremely personable, professional service. The food is largely no-frills and totally divine. When I'm a billionaire I'm going to hire the chef to open a branch of the restaurant in my living room. I wish it was close enough to be my local neighborhood haunt! If you find yourself in Nice or nearby, don't miss it! Hopefully Sharoni will be able to go there and report back for us whether she agrees with my lofty praise...
