About Mallard
Mallard is a practical Nice pick when lunch value and a lower-key dinner matter more than a heavily documented chef or tasting-menu brief. Choose it for a two-person meal with flexible expectations; cross-shop Le Socle if you want a clearer modern-cuisine, €€ reference point before committing.
Mallard is a venue in Nice with limited verified public detail, so the safest way to plan around it is to focus on the facts that are confirmed: its service schedule and smart-casual dress code. It is not a page to build around an asserted cuisine, chef, signature dish, price point, award, or tasting-menu format, because those details are not verified here. Treat it as a practical option in Nice when the timing fits and you are comfortable confirming menu and booking details directly before you go.
The strongest planning detail is timing. Mallard is closed Monday and Sunday. It serves dinner on Tuesday from 7:30–9:30 PM, lunch and dinner Wednesday through Saturday, with lunch from 12–1:30 PM and dinner from 7:30–9:30 PM. If you want to compare another option before deciding, keep Le Socle in the mix, while confirming current details directly for any venue you choose.
Choose lunch or dinner based on the confirmed schedule
The available hours support both lunch and dinner on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, while Tuesday is dinner-only. Because no verified price range, menu format, seating format, or signature dish is available here, the lower-risk approach is to choose the service time that best fits your plans and then confirm the current menu and reservation details with the venue.
Confirmed dress code is smart casual, so plan for a polished but not overly formal meal. Beyond that, avoid arriving with assumptions about a specific format or dish. Since no signature items are verified, the practical approach is to ask what is available when booking or on arrival and order from the current menu.
Who should cross-shop before committing
If the meal needs more certainty in advance, compare Mallard with other options before committing. Sushi Arson, Café Paulette, La Socca d'Or, Le Cèdre, Le Socle are useful names to check alongside Mallard, especially if your group wants a backup plan or a venue with more readily confirmed details.
For wider planning, use the full Nice restaurants guide alongside the Nice hotels guide, the Nice bars guide, the Nice wineries guide, the Nice experiences guide. In short: pick Mallard when its confirmed hours and smart-casual dress code suit your plans, verify the current menu, booking process, any other specifics directly before relying on them.

Compare Mallard
How Mallard compares in Nice
Mallard is the lower-information choice in this set, which makes it better for flexible diners than for anyone trying to pre-plan a high-stakes meal around cuisine, chef, or price. Le Socle is the clearest value comparison because its Modern Cuisine and €€ positioning give diners a firmer read before arrival. If certainty matters, start there.
Sushi Arson is the sharper pick when the brief is sushi rather than a general Nice dinner. Café Paulette and La Socca d'Or make more sense for a casual, local-feeling meal where ambience and ease matter more than occasion structure.
Le Cèdre is the extra cross-shop when the group wants another Nice option without choosing a defined format. For special occasions, Mallard works if the group is comfortable with less advance detail; Le Socle is safer when value, cuisine style, expectations need to be clearer upfront.
