    Outside
    Jakob R.

    If you're hitting Cannes on the French Rivera this is a place to stop. But be aware everything in Cannes is expensive, very expensive. Large menu with lots of fresh options direct from the Mediterranean Sea. Sit outside and enjoy watching the people strolling by. Might return after my next raise.

    We've had oysters all around the world and these are one of the freshest and most flavorful ones we've ever had. They were fatty, juicy and packed a punch of flavor that made our taste buds tingle long after we were finished. We couldn't get enough of them! Yes, the mussels were masterfully prepared and the shrimp was so fresh, but the real star are the oysters! Doesn't get much better than eating fresh oysters by the beach at Cannes.

    oysters and langoustine
    Lindi N.

    We searched long and hard for a place open in Cannes on a Sunday. Wound up here and was pleased with the seafood. We ordered a half dozen cold oysters, 2 langoustines, and the hot oysters. Langoustines were okay, but the hot oysters were oh my god WOW. Delicious in tarragon cream and cheese. Fresh oysters were huge and delicious as well. A free sampling of small snails were provided as well, which were fun. Glad we found this spot for a taste of the sea.

    Delicious and fun!

    Delicious seafood, awesome service, and good ambiance. Bigorneaux - mini snails are something I tried there for the first time. Delicious! The host showed me how to pull them out of the shell. They're so much fun to eat! The oysters are delicious and fresh. Great variety. If you're looking for fresh, delicious food this is the place! I'll definitely will eat here again!

    Fun and lively brasserie style seafood restaurant. This place has been here since 1953 and they have gotten the local seafood house thing down to an art. It is fun and lively with a warm but gregarious feel to it. I walked by the place on several occasions during my stay in Cannes and it was always packed, even when the other restaurants around it were sparsely populated. This is always a good sign. We went with a group of four and had a terrific and very fun time. The wait staff did a great job of keeping up the banter and making sure the wine was flowing. The menu is brief but chock full of the traditional local seafood options. It is however decidedly light on non-seafood options, so keep that in mind if you are coming with any fishophobes. Cold sea food platter is a must and really delicious. Shrimp, Oysters, Snails, Clams, Langoustine. Fresh, delicious, and a huge platter. For four people we were warned not to order the largest platter but instead to get the medium (which the menu indicates is for 2-3 people). The medium was more than enough. Most of the party ordered mussels (with cream sauce, not the usual white wine broth) which were served in large pots and which were promptly and happily consumed. I opted for the special - scallops with zucchini/mushroom risotto. Also fresh and delicious, this dish was surprisingly light for a risotto. Classic and very delicious. We managed to go through 4 bottles of Chablis which was inexpensive and tasty. Nothing fancy, but delicious and the perfect accompaniment to a restaurant which is long on enjoying the company of your friends, and short on pretension. Highly recommended for an enjoyable evening out.

    Scallop and crab risotto :)
    Mary R.

    I was traveling through France alone, so didn't get to try the larger platters that are popular. So my review is based on the one dish I had but also my customer service experience. I ordered the scallop/crab risotto. Oh my gosh. BEST RISOTTO DISH I HAVE EVER HAD! Risotto was creamy, the scallops were perrrrfectly cooked with that beautiful brown sear, the bits of crab meat mixed in with the risotto brought in so much flavor, and that butter surrounding the bed of risotto...mannnnn just perfect! I would die to have a dish that great again. Out of all the restaurants I've gone to in France, the service here was the most friendly. I felt very welcomed, checked up on me enough to ensure my meal was enjoyable, and offered some fun conversation. Very sweet gentlemen working here.

    Be ready pay as for a 3-5 course meal at a Michelin 1-star restaurant, but it's not. It was still worth it for me as a tourist. Our plan was to try a langouste and other local seafood and this place was just right. Our langouste was so fresh that was brought live to greet us first. Sea snails were surprisingly delicious and fun to eat. They had good selection of local rose wines for pairing. Next time we'll try sea urchins and local oysters!

    Assortment of oysters

    Review for the oysters: Soooo good you need to try a tray of all their offerings! They serve you pretty fast and are very nice.

    Assortiment for 2 - €80 and WORTH it
    Sam G.

    Like humongous platters of seafood? Like it fresh and shucked minutes before it hits your table? You'll probably like Astoux et Brun. Granted, €80 (for two) is not cheap but that got us 16 oysters, 8 sea snails (the surprise winner!), 6 giant prawns, 8 clams and 4 langoustine PLUS a plate of cockles as a complimentary starter (if you've never needled a cockle out of its tiny shell THATS an experience) Staff are funny, fast and helpful. If you're willing to get your hands dirty (and fishy) and don't mind an inevitable lap full of shell/exoskeletons/etc you'll probably love this place.

The chef himself even pitched in with helping serve, totally in sync with the owner. These two amazing guys totally changed my and my wife's perspective about how other restaurants are run - especially when tipping here is more of a courtesy and in the states many restaurants just add 18% on to your bill for gratuity regardless of the service you got. I left the owner just 10 euros and he was so thankful and graciously declined but promised he'd give it to the kitchen staff when we insisted that we just had to appreciate them with a tip. Unreal, awesome, classy, can't wait to return.

I made a reservation for 4 people, but one person in our party was feeling sick so only 3 people showed up. When the waiter (I think he was also the owner) asked us if we wanted wine, we said no and he scoffed at us (perhaps thinking we wouldn't be spending enough money there). Our friend ended up showing up to dinner to say bye to us. He didn't order any food, because he didn't feel well enough to eat. When he told the waiter he wasn't eating, the waiter took his utensils, took his napkin and threw it at me and shoved the bread basket away from him... and this was after the three of us had already ordered food. It was shockingly rude. None of us had ever experienced that before. When we told the waiter we were no longer interested in eating there anymore. He screamed, "We serve food here, you have to buy food. There's pizza down the street!" This was absolutely the weirdest and rudest experience I've ever had in a restaurant. If you read some of the reviews on Trip Advisor, many others have had similar rude experiences too.

The sauce was so flavorful and they were definitely not stingy on the seafood. The only reason I didn't give a 5 star.....I wish they gave more other seafood aside from mussels. You get 4 scallops, 1 prawn, 1 cray fish, and a bajillon mussels. If you're not a seafood fan, the eggplan parmesian penne is pretty good as well. This comes in a normal portion :)
