Good restaurants in Cannes

[George Baugh]

Can anyone recommend a good restaurant in Cannes? Next week, I will be staying at the Martinez, so La Palme d'Or is a possibility. I've eaten at La Mère Besson and don't see a reason to go back there.

Two suggestions:

Astoux et Brun

5 Rue Louis Blanc

(off Le Suquet)

Very long-established seafood restaurant, awesome plateau des fruites de mer (excuse my French), scruffy decor, "brisk" service to put it kindly, good value. Actually looks onto Le Suquet, by the bandstand - don't confuse it with Astoux, a few doors along, which is ok but not as good.

Jade

24 Rue Pasteur

(off La Croisette, just after the Martinez if memory serves)

04 93 94 33 49

Really good family-run Vietnamese place.

I haven't been to Cannes since we closed Neat in 2002, but a friend who goes there a lot tells me Astoux et Brun is still excellent. He also says you can't book there - just turn up and queue if necessary.

I can't help but wonder if you've done a search here on eG for previous threads on the area. There is an absolute marvel of good suggestions.

Took your suggestion and did a search. All I got was the thread I started. What is the right way to do a search? I entered 'cannes restaurants' in the search box.

Well..

As for the 'right way to do a search,' I'll get back to you when I've got more time.

For now, I did the search and here are the results. Topics with "cannes" in the title:

Thanks rjs 1 for the suggestions.

Also Jaymes thanks for the link but most of the info there is not current.

Anyone else eaten recently (last six months) in Cannes?

You are lucky that the Palme d'Or will be closed. It is a high-priced tourist trap. You should consider going to Tétou, which is a short cab or train ride away in Golfe Juan. But only go if everyone in your party will have bouillabaisse. Have the Martinez concierge reserve for you.
