La Palme d'Or

The restaurant of the emblematic Hôtel Martinez, luxurious realm of the stars during the Cannes Film Festival, is a vibrant tribute to cinema, one of chef Jean Imbert's passions. With wood panelling that wouldn't be out of place on a yacht in the golden age of Hollywood, the decor is overflowing with authentic film props and posters. The menu is written like a screenplay, illustrated with storyboards. Under the guidance of Imbert, chef Christophe Nannoni, a mainstay of the place for over a decade, works closely with pastry chef Loïc Voron (Cheval Blanc St-Barth). The sea and Provence are the two stars of the show here – they provide ingredients that feature in dishes that never fail to pique the interest: wild gamberoni from the Gulf of Genoa, mango and kumquat sauce vierge; barbecued and glazed John Dory, rocket pesto, shellfish cooked in a sealed casserole pot and local vegetables; vanilla palmier made to order. Lights, camera, action!

Riviera

The legendary luxury hotel, which celebrated its 110th anniversary in 2023, now has its own marble-clad restaurant with a superb terrace overlooking the Croisette. In an opulent-feeling dining room where white meets black, the tables set with Gien porcelain are in line with time-honoured tradition of French table arts. The chef's table opposite the open kitchen also draws the eye. Everything else meets the standard set by your surroundings: Mediterranean cuisine made from top-quality local and seasonal ingredients, the calibre of service, with meat and fish cut at your table. You'll enjoy an excellent rack of Alpilles lamb with vegetables and jus, and a remarkable St Honoré cake with vanilla caramel and walnut pieces.

La Table du Chef

Only open in the evenings, this small bistro just two minutes from Rue d’Antibes never disappoints. In an open kitchen, a youthful chef works with local, seasonal produce, crafting subtle, tasty dishes, such as his knockout velvety carrot soup with star anise and lightly seared shrimp. Market availability dictates the contents of the “Surprise” menu which is great value for money… Booking recommended.

Table 22 par Noël Mantel

In this very touristy area, a stone's throw from the Marché Forville, a serious and passionate team works to showcase fine ingredients and lovely Provençal flavours – charred mackerel, beefsteak tomatoes and a lime-ginger mustard; John Dory, green vegetables and bourride sauce... A mouth-watering menu from starter to dessert.

Aux Bons Enfants

This family business, opened in 1935, only recently had a telephone line installed, but still accepts cash only! The fourth generation continues to craft authentic Provençal ingredients into heart-warming, hunger obliterating dishes. All the produce, fruit, veg and fish from small boats, comes direct from Forville Market just down the road. We tucked into petits farcis (stuffed vegetables), Niçois-style braised beef cheeks, homemade gnocchi and the house dessert: rum baba with vanilla cream – to die for!

Cannes - FRANCE

L'Affable

In the centre of Cannes, this contemporary bistro is always busy and, indeed, it has much to recommend it. First and foremost its menu: courgette flower fritters, cod aioli, rack of lamb roasted with thyme… and the classic Grand Marnier soufflé, the house speciality.
