Great overall experience.
Short walk from the busy streets of Cannes to a quiet corner where there are a few outdoor seats and plenty of indoor seating.
Friendly staff, good variety of food prepared with care.
Definitely would recommend this for a good quality French cuisine and atmosphere.

UPDATE: Just visited again 3 years later, and I'm happy to say that it's just as good as in my original review.
ORIGINAL: Let me preface this review by saying that I am certainly no expert in French cuisine, though I certainly do know good food. This restaurant exceeded all of my expectations the first night I went there, it did so again the second night, and I was supremely disappointed to find out that I could not visit a third or fourth time, as my trip to the area ended on a Monday.
The menu, although short, was quite broad, and accommodated a wide variety of tastes. All dishes I ordered were not only flavored well and cooked correctly, but also well-constructed.
The atmosphere was lively without being obtrusive, and the restaurant benefits from being an extra couple blocks from La Croisette in that it does not seem to be obnoxiously busy. Prices are also very reasonable, and I felt I received much more than I paid. The service is excellent, and I greatly appreciated the two waitresses who went out of their way to work with my severe inability to speak French.
If you're in the area, definitely give Bistro Les Canailles a try!

So glad we found this place! I was searching on the Fork for some place in Cannes that felt a little more local (aka not astronomically expensive on The Croisette) and this place popped up! Reasonably priced for Cannes, good service and on a quiet side street 2 blocks up from Rue Antibes! Great find! Great place. Great food! The Sea Bream ceviche and sea bass were especially good!

Went on a whim looking for escargot and they were fantastic. Quaint bistro with a very diverse menu. Ravioli w/ beef cheeks were enjoyed. I loved the Veal special they had tonight. Unfortunately, the sea bass wasn't up to par with rest of the entrees but overall a very solid dining experience. Didn't try dessert but they looked good.

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!
