Cannes isn’t just about the work — it’s about where you eat after.

This is your exclusive (and slightly cheeky) insider’s guide to the most delicious spots in Cannes — where to go, what to order and how not to embarrass yourself when ordering it.

La Casa di Nonna
Breakfast that feels like grandma’s table — without the guilt.
The Skinny:

Don’t Miss:
Fresh-pressed juice and salmon-avocado toast.

Riviera Restaurant – Carlton Cannes
Where the rosé is colder than your last pitch deck.
The Skinny:
This place is no secret. You’ll spot someone famous — or someone acting like they are. Grab a shaded patio table, pretend to take a call and soak in the scene like a Cannes veteran.
Don’t Miss:
Plateau de la Mer (seafood tower) and truffle fries (€25) for crunchy indulgence.

Provence on a plate, five minutes from your next panel.
The Skinny:
Steps from the Palais and full of charm, this place delivers delicious, unpretentious food at reasonable Cannes prices.
Don’t Miss:
Grilled octopus with aioli and bouillabaisse — because soup is always sexy in the South of France.

Nammos Cannes
Come for the mezze. Stay for the napkin twirling.
The Skinny:

Mezze platter and fried calamari — rosé's perfect partner.

Fire-grilled meats and primal satisfaction.

Hidden in Le Suquet’s cobblestone charm, this smoky, sweaty gem delivers serious flavor.

Skip the veggie basket. Go straight for the lamb rack or Tomahawk steak.

Le Figuier de Saint-Esprit (Antibes)
Michelin star under an ancient fig tree.
The Skinny:
A one-star wonder beneath a fig tree in Antibes, helmed by chef Christian Morisset — fine, fresh and fiercely Provençal.

Squid-ink cannelloni or saddle of lamb, followed by molten chocolate cake.

Old-school Italian glam with piano bar ambiance and candlelit charm — where pasta and cocktails mingle.
