Where to eat in Cannes

Selected entries from the current guide for Cannes.

Sort

Cannes, France

La Palme d'Or

La Palme d'Or occupies a storied position on the Croisette inside Hôtel Martinez, where the dining room's cinema-era décor sets the stage for a menu that places Provence and the Mediterranean at the centre. Chef Christian Sinicropi's plant-forward cooking has drawn particular attention from critics, earning a Michelin Plate and an Opinionated About Dining ranking among Europe's classical addresses. Open Tuesday through Saturday from 7:30 PM, reservations are advised well in advance.

Cannes, France

Aux Bons Enfants

A back-to-back Michelin Bib Gourmand recipient for 2024 and 2025, Aux Bons Enfants on Rue Meynadier represents Cannes at its least performative: Provençal cooking rooted in market produce, priced accessibly at €€, and delivered without the ceremony that defines the city's festival-circuit restaurants. For visitors who find the Croisette's starred dining a study in theatre, this is where the cooking takes over.

Cannes, France

L'Affable

L'Affable at 5 Rue la Fontaine holds consecutive Michelin Plate recognition for 2024 and 2025, positioning it among Cannes's mid-range traditional French restaurants. Priced at the €€ tier, it offers a grounded alternative to the Croisette's grand hotel dining rooms, rooted in the conventions of classical French cuisine rather than contemporary reinvention.

Cannes, France

La Table du Chef

Among Cannes's mid-range traditional restaurants, La Table du Chef on Rue Jean Daumas holds consecutive Michelin Plate recognition in 2024 and 2025, signalling consistent kitchen standards at a price point well below the city's festival-tier fine dining. It sits in a competitive neighbourhood bracket alongside L'Affable and Aux Bons Enfants, offering classical French cooking without the premium attached to the Croisette addresses.

Cannes, France

Table 22 par Noël Mantel

A Michelin Plate recipient in both 2024 and 2025, Table 22 par Noël Mantel occupies a specific register in Cannes dining: traditional French cuisine at a mid-premium price point, away from the festival circuit's more theatrical venues. It draws a consistent local and visitor audience looking for technical honesty over occasion-dressing.

Cannes, France

Cave et Bar à Vins Gencel

On a quiet backstreet in central Cannes, Gencel Cave & Bar à Vins operates where a serious wine list and cave-style atmosphere intersect.

Cannes, France

Côté Jardin

Côté Jardin sits on Avenue Saint-Louis in Cannes, a residential-leaning address that places it outside the festival-circuit noise of the Croisette. The setting suggests a neighbourhood bistro that takes its kitchen seriously, the kind of table that Cannes regulars return to when the film crowd has moved on. For visitors, it rewards a little advance planning.

Cannes, France

Le Pompon

On a side street a short walk from the Palais des Festivals, Le Pompon occupies a quieter register of Cannes dining than the seafront circuit. The address at 4 Rue Emile Négrin places it in a neighbourhood that rewards visitors who move past the Croisette's predictable rotation. For a city where restaurant choices split sharply between tourist-facing brasseries and destination fine dining, Le Pompon holds a middle ground worth knowing about.

Cannes, France

Ondine Plage

On the Croisette at 64 Boulevard de la Croisette, Ondine Plage is a French beach restaurant operating within the La Croisette plage culture that defines Cannes dining between late morning and early evening.

Cannes, France

RESTAURANT UVA

On the Boulevard de la République, Restaurant UVA has earned a White Star recognition from Star Wine List, signalling a wine program that sits above the Cannes baseline. The address places it within reach of the Palais des Festivals district, where the city's dining options span from beachfront Provençal to formal modern cuisine. For wine-focused diners, UVA's credentials make it a reference point on the Côte d'Azur circuit.

Cannes, France

Riviera

On the Boulevard de la Croisette, Riviera brings Mediterranean seafood cooking to one of Cannes's most recognisable addresses.

Cannes, France

Astoux et Brun

One of Cannes' most established seafood addresses, Astoux et Brun on Rue Félix Faure has anchored the city's fish and shellfish tradition for decades. The venue sits within walking distance of the Palais des Festivals, placing it squarely inside the circuit of serious pre- or post-event dining. For visitors seeking shellfish-centred eating with institutional provenance, it remains a reliable reference point.

Cannes, France

Bella

Bella sits in Cannes, a city where restaurant choices split between Riviera polish, Provençal familiarity, seafood rooms and festival-season pragmatism. With no public awards, pricing, chef or format details attached, it reads less as a destination dining claim than as a local address to assess against the neighbourhood’s broader restaurant culture and the practical rhythm of Cannes meals.

Cannes, France

Bistro Les Canailles

Bistro Les Canailles serves Traditional French Bistro cooking in Cannes, with an extensive wine list, local sourcing, and a conversational room suited to lunch or dinner.

Cannes, France

Bobo bistro

Bobo bistro sits on Rue du Commandant André, a few streets back from the Croisette, where Cannes operates at a different register from its festival-week persona. Positioned in the neighbourhood bistro tier that sits between the grand hotel dining rooms and the casual beachfront plates, it offers a counterpoint to the city's more performative dining options. For visitors who want to eat well without the theatre of a grand occasion, this address is worth knowing.

Cannes, France

Carlton Beach Club

Carlton Beach Club puts the Croisette beach-club meal back in its proper Riviera frame: sun, seafood, produce-led cooking, and a room where the Mediterranean is not decorative backdrop but the point. The appeal is less about chef mythology than about Cannes’ long habit of turning lunch by the water into a social ritual with serious expectations around sourcing.

Cannes, France

Cave Croisette

Cave Croisette sits on Rue d'Antibes, Cannes' principal retail and dining artery, positioning it squarely between the festival crowd and the city's year-round restaurant scene. The address places it within the mid-Croisette orbit, where wine-led formats increasingly operate alongside traditional Provençal tables and modern French dining rooms. For visitors oriented around the Côte d'Azur's food and wine culture, it represents a logical stop on any serious itinerary.

Cannes, France

CHEZ FRANCO

On a quiet residential street in central Cannes, Chez Franco sits within the city's neighbourhood bistro tier, the kind of address that regulars return to for honest French cooking rather than festival glamour.

Cannes, France

Da Laura

Da Laura occupies a quiet address on Rue du Vingt-Quatre Août, away from the festival-season noise that defines central Cannes. The room positions itself in the mid-tier of the city's dining scene, where neighbourhood reliability and personal service carry more weight than spectacle. For visitors working through Cannes beyond the Croisette, it functions as a practical reference point.

Cannes, France

Fouquet's Cannes

The brasserie format, refined through the Fouquet's lineage that stretches back to Paris's Champs-Élysées original, delivers French classics at a register that fits the surrounding hotel and festival crowd. A fixture through Cannes Film Festival and quieter shoulder seasons alike.

Cannes, France

L'éponyme

L'éponyme serves seasonal Mediterranean and French bistro cooking with craft cocktails, natural wine, and a terrace-plus-open-kitchen setup that suits a leisurely lunch or dinner.

Cannes, France

La Californie

La Californie occupies a storied address on Square Mérimée in Cannes, where the Riviera's tradition of market-driven cooking meets the city's appetite for occasion dining. The room draws from the same coastal pantry that defines southern French cuisine at its most direct: Provençal produce, Mediterranean catch, and the herbs that grow within kilometres of the table. It sits in a city that takes its restaurants seriously, even when the cameras aren't rolling.

Cannes, France

La Cave

La Cave occupies a discreet address on the Boulevard de la République, a short walk from the Palais des Festivals, placing it in the quieter residential current of Cannes rather than the full glare of the Croisette. The format here is caviste-led: wine drives the structure of an evening, and food follows accordingly. For visitors who find the city's grander dining rooms too ceremonially weighted, La Cave offers a different register entirely.

Cannes, France

La differnnce

On the Allée Émile Fabre, La differnnce occupies a corner of Cannes that sits at some remove from the Croisette's more saturated dining circuit. Where comparable addresses in this price tier lean toward Mediterranean spectacle, La differnnce builds its case through restraint in both space and approach, positioning it among the quieter, more considered options in a city that rarely lacks noise.

Hôtel Barrière Le Majestic

Positioned directly opposite the Palais des Festivals on the Boulevard de la Croisette, Hôtel Barrière Le Majestic occupies one of Cannes' most consequential addresses. The five-star property holds a 91.5-point ranking on La Liste Top Hotels (2026) and membership in Leading Hotels of the World, with 344 rooms and suites, a private beach spanning 400 loungers, and a restaurant program anchored by Chef Pierre Gagnaire at Fouquet's.

Cannes, France

Carlton Cannes, a Regent Hotel

Occupying one visible address on the Croisette since 1913, Carlton Cannes reopened after its most significant transformation in over a century. The Belle Époque facade remains intact; behind it, interior designer Tristan Auer and architect Richard Lavelle have reworked the lobbies, salons, and 369 rooms with a French-garden palette and restored stucco that positions the property firmly at the summit of the Cannes palace tier. La Liste awarded it 96.5 points in 2026.

Cannes, France

Hôtel Martinez

On the Boulevard de la Croisette since the 1930s, Hôtel Martinez is one of Cannes' defining waterfront addresses: 410 rooms of Art Deco interiors, a Michelin-starred restaurant from Chef Jean Imbert, a private beach club, and a Carita spa. Rated 90.5 points by La Liste Top Hotels (2026) and awarded Gault & Millau Exceptional Hotel (2025), it sits at the upper tier of the Riviera's grand hotel category.

Cannes, France

Mondrian Cannes

Positioned directly on the Boulevard de la Croisette, Mondrian Cannes earns 93 points in the 2026 La Liste Top Hotels ranking and a Gault & Millau Exceptional Hotel designation for 2025.

A credentialed choice for the Riviera's festival season and quieter shoulder months alike.

Cannes, France

Five Seas Hotel

Awarded Gault & Millau Exceptional Hotel status in 2025, Five Seas Hotel occupies a central Cannes address at 1 Rue Notre Dame, placing guests within minutes of the Croisette, the beaches, and the city's main boutiques. Handcrafted furnishings and a deliberate arts de vivre identity separate it from the larger palace hotels on the waterfront.

Cannes, France

Hôtel Belle Plage

Hôtel Belle Plage sits on Rue Brougham, a short walk from La Croisette, and earned a Gault & Millau Exceptional Hotel designation in 2025 with a five-point score. The property operates in the quieter, design-conscious tier of Cannes accommodation, positioned away from the grand-boulevard scale of the Palais seafront.

Cannes, France

Le Gray d'Albion

A Michelin Selected hotel on the rue des Serbes, Gray d'Albion occupies a central position in Cannes that few properties can match for sheer walkability to the Palais des Festivals and La Croisette. Its architecture reads as considered rather than showy, placing it in a quieter register than the grand boulevard palaces while remaining firmly within Cannes's premium accommodation tier.

Cannes, France

MOB Cannes

In a city where the hotel offer ranges from grand palace facades on the Croisette to quieter design-led addresses further inland, MOB Cannes occupies a distinct position for travellers who want considered hospitality without the ceremonial weight of the palace tier.

Bar Fouquet's

The bar sits within the lineage of the Fouquet's name, long associated with formal French hospitality, and positions itself among the Côte d'Azur's most recognised drinking addresses. Expect a curated back bar and an atmosphere shaped by decades of festival-season ritual.

Cannes, France

Quille

Quille sits on Rue Bivouac Napoléon in central Cannes, earning Star Wine List recognition in 2026 for a drinks programme that positions it at the more considered end of the Riviera bar circuit. For a city whose bar scene skews toward spectacle and terrace real estate, Quille trades on selection depth over showmanship.
