A
Z Plage
Lunch at the beach restaurant-bar of Hôtel Martinez is an unforgettable experience. Languish on white-cushioned teak seating beneath white colonial-style umbrellas and sip unusual freshly squeezed juices (fancy a pineapple, litchi and raspberry juice? or how about strawberry, lemon, basil and pineapple, Madame?) and fusion frappées (smoothies). The Zen orange and peach purée with Chaï spices is Zen indeed.
Swedish massages and reflexology sessions (cost involved) can be indulged in before or after lunch. In July and August, tapas is served in the company of cocktails and electro lounge jazz with DJ Max Léonidas & Sax from 18:00.

Le Riad
At the end of an alley in the Carré d’Or nightlife district, Le Riad imports Moroccan hospitality and authentic cooking, with classics such as tagine (stews cooked in conical-covered earthenware), méchoui (spit-roasted lamb) and a real pastilla (pigeon pie) – rare even in Morocco. On weekend nights a belly dancer sets a party mood. Excellent service.

Le Mesclun
The menu here titillates tastebuds: wild turbot baked in champagne with summer truffles and mushrooms; langoustine roasted in coriander-flavoured butter and spiced with tomato, courgette, olive and mango; or roast duck breast with spiced honey, a pear in red wine and a peach in olive oil. Dining is refined and artful.

Le Méditerranée
On top of the portside Sofitel hotel, adjoining the rooftop pool, it's hard to say which makes more of an impression - this contemporary French restaurant's culinary prowess or its 360-degree views across the Med to the red Massif de l'Estérel mountains. It's worth it, if your pocket allows.

Da Laura
Cannois flock to this busy trattoria with bustling pavement terrace for authentic Italian cooking. Pasta portions are larger than traditional primi (first course) size - making them a wholesome stand-alone meal - and the star of the show is the largest pepper mill you've ever seen.

L'Ardoise
The menu changes every fortnight at this 1930s bistro tucked down a pedestrian alley. Fresh red and white roses in vases are about the only excess in the dark wood and red interior where regulars take their pick from four or five market-inspired dishes. No credit cards.

Mantel
The Italian maître d’ will make you feel like a million dollars and you’ll melt for Noël Mantel’s divine cuisine and great-value prices. Best of all, you get not one but two desserts with your menu (oh, the panna cotta…). You’ll definitely have a regal night at Mantel.

Aux Bons Enfants
This familial little place doesn’t have a phone, and there are no plans to get one any time soon: it’s always full. The lucky ones who get a table (get there early or late) can feast on regional dishes made from ingredients picked up at the adjacent market.

Mahatma
Within the ode to design that is Hôtel 3.14, this opulent purple restaurant under the direction of chef Mario D'Orio does majestic Indian/Mediterranean fusion cuisine using exotic spices. On sultry nights, a table on the outdoor terrace is pure magic.

Kiousk 3.14
It's just so design, darling, the café of 3.14 Hôtel a block down the road. Cream plastic or sofa seating provides a brilliant contrast to the smart emerald-green silk cushions sprinkled around the clean-cut space. It's nonsmoking noon to 20:00.

La Cave
The Wine Cellar is a dramatic contrast to most Cannois eating spaces: lace curtains hang at the windows and inside, roast veal loin with basil tomatoes, calf kidneys and other French classics are served in an intimate, old Parisian bistro setting.

Coquillages Brun
Cannes’ most famous seafood brasserie, this is the place to indulge in oysters, mussels, prawns, crayfish and other delightfully fresh shellfish with a glass of crisp white wine. The restaurant is full every night, so make sure you book.

La Tonnelle
The monks run a restaurant, La Tonnelle, which has lovely views of the sea and serves wine from the abbey’s own vineyards (bottles are expensive but glasses are available). It’s also a stellar spot for afternoon tea.
