Cannes Restaurants

  5. 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 .

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  13. 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.
