The art of good eating is alive and well in Cannes with more than 300 restaurants at the last count. These range from Michelin-star eateries to intimate, family-run cafés. The prices are what you’d expect to pay on the Côte d’Azur and no less.

The Cannes restaurants below are grouped into three pricing categories:

La Tonnelle

Cuisine: French

Le Caveau 30

Cuisine: French

Located near the Vieux Port, Le Caveau has the feel and elegant style of a 1930s restaurant and specialises in seafood and seasonal, regional produce. The food and the wine list are excellent, and the restaurant is worth seeking out for its bouillabaisse even if it gets crowded in high season.

Rado Plage

Cuisine: French and seafood

This venerable beach bar is one of the oldest in Cannes – and one of the friendliest and least pretentious. Savour fresh seafood and Provençale cuisine within just a few metres of the lapping waters of the Mediterranean. The sea is also handy if you fancy a post-prandial dip.

Cheap

Astoux & Brun

Cuisine: Seafood

This Cannes institution has been serving generous platters of fruits de mer (seafood) and fish to appreciative Cannois since 1953. There's a lively atmosphere in the simple interior, and things positively buzz on the large terrace. Let the grilled sea bass with fennel or smoked salmon spaghetti wow you.

Le Restaurant Arménien

Cuisine: Armenian

You'll find a warm atmosphere here – as well as tasty, genuine Armenian food that also blends dishes from some of its eastern neighbours. It's a popular alternative to the Riviera's predominantly Mediterranean cuisine. The kebabs, pilafs, dolmas (stuffed vine leaves) and kechkeg (beef and bulgur wheat) are all very good.

Address: , 82 boulevard de la Croisette, Cannes,
Telephone: +33 4 9394 0058.

Le XXIV

Cuisine: Burgers and French

If you're a gourmet burger aficionado, check out this intimate little place on a narrow street in Le Suquet. You can either go for the classic version, or one of the more exotic options using foie gras, but all will leave you stuffed. Lighter bites include plates of charcuterie and cheeses.

Address: , 24 rue du Suquet, Cannes,

Hôtel Le Cavendish

Formerly the home of Lord Cavendish, the British aristocrat who discovered hydrogen, this belle époque building is a charming hotel just north of the railway station. All 34 rooms are serenely elegant, but try to get one in the rotunda. And make time for the free aperitifs every evening.

Hôtel Barrière Le Majestic

This belle époque palatial hotel along La Croisette fuses classic elegance with modern refinements. It has 349 sumptuous rooms, three Venetian-style lounges, five restaurants, two bars and a swimming pool. It has also hijacked part of the main beach, which means guests can enjoy bathing in private.

Hotel Colette

This 3-star stay is one of the most stylish hotels in Cannes. Its simple yet striking white colour scheme acts as a canvas for the hotel's lively blend of modern furniture, contemporary art and the odd antique. Its location opposite the railway station is convenient, albeit not the prettiest.
