Unanimous five stars Our group of four absolutely loved our selections--and after trying each other's dishes, we all agreed across the board. The paella was flavorful and generously packed with both seafood and meat, perfectly cooked and well balanced. The steak came out medium rare, tender, and clearly a top-quality cut. The gnocchi stole the show, though--easily ranked by us as one of the best we've ever had. They truly knocked it out of the park. The ambiance and service were equally top-notch, making the entire experience memorable. read more

A cute place with great view. The turbot with hollandaise was very good. The oysters were pretty good but they didn't release them well. If you like kidneys, try them here. read more

Restaurant completely overcharged us when we switched the menus. Originally ordered the pre fixe but then changed to a la carte as we were not getting desserts. The restaurant changed the same prices for different dishes! Told the waiter and he pretended not to understand. Never go again. Ordered: - seafood paella for two persons - fish soup - mussels - eggplant ravioli - branzino filets Overall, the dishes were decent but the treatment from the staff was not good. This is a tourist scam and trap. read more

For Americans please realize this is a real French restaurant, not a tourist or Americanized French restaurant. We definitely had ideas in our head of some of the dishes which were not reality. For the steak tartar we expected a small portion and cuts of actual steak, not ground meat. After asking around and more research this is how French food should be served but we just weren't ready for it! read more

Food was good and ambiance was okay. They accommodated us immediately with no wait time. Our server was ok, not too friendly compared to La Perle (next door). Highlight of the meal was the vanilla ice cream container for our togo/take away box. The paella is a big serving so if you want to try other menu items, just get the Paella that is good for 2 people as they have a big serving. I wouldn't mind going back to try the other seafood items. read more

Terrible Service Pressured and Kicked Out We came for drinks with plans to order food later. The waiter kept pressuring us to order, making us uncomfortable. When we decided to stick to drinks, they told us to leave. A restaurant should respect customer choices. Awful service--would give zero stars if possible. Avoid this place! read more

Very good food in a very good location. Thought it would be a tourist trap but it was great!

I tried to go to this restaurant for lunch yesterday. It is a large restaurant with many outdoor tables and some indoors as well. It was very busy. There was a younger couple ahead of me waiting for a seat as well. The maitre'd told them to wait just a moment. A minute later he told me that is was 'impossible, completely full'. I'm sure someone would be leaving in a few minutes or he could have told me the approximate wait time. The restaurant was open continuously during the day so it was not a question of closing time. I think I was refused service because I was an older female, by myself. Two people at a table would obviously mean a larger check. I went to another busy cafe a block away that was fantastic and very welcoming to me. I had a 3 course meal (plat du jour) and 2 glasses of wine. read more

Typical Cannes seafood restaurant. Tables that are next to the sidewalk and then deeper into the restaurant where tables are on top of one another. Service was very good. We ordered a nice dry French white wine and bottled Perrier and looked over their primarily seafood selections. This one had a prix-fix menu including appetizer, main course and dessert. I don't recall it being overly expensive but I was there as a client so didn't pay the bill. We started with oysters and grilled sardines. The oysters were delicious (although I'd prefer them with cocktail sauce which is definitely a U.S. thing) - these were served with lemon and mignonette (a vinegar based sauce). The grilled sardines came with a lemon beurre blanc which I could've put on anything it was so delicious. I then had branzino which came with vegetables and more of the delicious lemon beurre blanc. For dessert we had creme brûlée and an apple tart, both delicious. A good meal all in all. After 8:30 restaurant gets extremely crowded and loud so get there about 7 if you want to not have others sitting on top of you. read more

Wow, what a miserable experience. I asked the concierge at my hotel (The Intercontinental Carlton) a month in advance for suggestions, and they recommended this place. I saw it was also Michelin recommended, so I made the reservation. Fast-forward one month. 7:55pm: We arrive at the restaurant for our 8pm reservation. No reservation could be found by them. Even "without" a reservation, they say they could still get us a good tables upstairs. We go upstairs to be directed to a bad table, and are handed menus. 8:15pm: The waiter comes by, and takes our orders awkwardly and hurriedly 8:30pm: The waiter comes with the wine (the bottle already uncorked). He pours me a taste, waits approximately two seconds, and starts pouring my wife's glass before I could even get the taste into my mouth. For reference, every other table we saw had their wine presented properly and we selected mid-range wine. I notice, as the time passes, that all the other diners are growing increasingly frustrated by the lack of food at their table. 9:05pm: first course finally arrives. It's slightly above average... by American standards. 9:25pm: second course arrives. Worse than the first course. 9:45pm: dessert course arrives. It felt like it came off of an ice cream truck 10pm: I ask the waiter for the bill. It arrives in record time. On our way out, a hurried waiter body checks my wife for good measure. 10:30pm: I arrive back at the hotel to express my frustration to the concierge. They insist that the reservation was confirmed by the restaurant. This place is a disorganized mess that is either understaffed, doesn't take itself seriously, or both. read more

Relies too much on cream sauce. Big portions. Poor service We were never offered dessert on Prix fixe meal when we mentioned the problem they couldn't care less read more

Ooof sadly I have to edit my review. We ate 3 times and unfortunately it got worse each time. Second time we did a repeat of the first time which was fish of the day which was sea bass and veggies but was not as good as the fist time. Last time we decided to go big and we ordered the more expensive menu but it was not worth it..The fois gras was bland and not great the entrecôte was awful and looked like a withered steak and the dessert a terrine nougat with ice cream that was inedible. Maybe the individual plates are the best option but difficult with the language barrier and impossible for them to explain how things are prepared. read more

This large seaside restaurant produces good quality multi-course meals that are unfussy, fresh, and tasty. This is not haute cuisine, but that's not what you come here to eat. The oysters are fresh, briny, and plump. The main courses like the perch I had are properly cooked, and the frites are great. If you can handle dessert, and still walk, it's tasty. read more

This is a wonderful restaurant and a very good bargain for Cannes. The best food is definitely seafood, and the best deal is the Euro 25.90 "menu" (set meal) consisting of a starter, main course and dessert. The dishes are classic French sea food and the portions are large (too large for me). I had moules for a starter, a huge plate of fairly small but very fresh and delicious mussels. My main course was burride, a seafood stew of fish, shrimp, potatoes and mussels. My dessert, a charlotte of raspberry. Everything was perfectly prepared, very fresh etc. Everyone at the table had the same reaction to their meals. Service was good though business-like. A price of 26 for a meal like this is unheard of in Cannes, which is a very expensive place. Be sure to reserve ahead since they get more business than they can handle. See Trip Advisor for a lot more reviews. Not all are good, but I disagree with the authors of the negative reviews. (E.g. service is much more cold and business-like in France than in the U.S. but usually more efficient. Don't expect hovering waiters. The waiters know the food and can explain it very well tough some may not be that strong in English.) It was busy when we were there, but who knows whether things go crazy in August. read more

The $29 menu (taxes & service included!) is quite a steal. Ideally, focus on fishes and seafood since their more generic dishes on the menu can be disappointing. read more

You got to have the tarte citron! It is great!

Situated in the center of the city, a little behind the Palais des Festivals. Ambience is warm and friendly. They have a patio and indoor seating on the ground floor, and a small charming balcony with 4 or 5 tables on the first floor - that's my favorite place, to observe beautiful and charming Cannes enjoying lovely dinner. We go there every time we're in town; I'd say have been there more than 10 times for sure. There is a raw "bar" and oysters menu, but of course, we are in France! Differently composed seafood plates, and other seafood a la carte, like my personal favorite rose shrimps, bulots (sea snails) or torteau (French crab). For appetizers try: artichokes carpaccio, raw salmon marinated, chopped raw crab and salmon tartare, mussels cooked different ways, escargot, scampi, sardines, lobster salad - all those are exquisite and flavorous. As for your entree: Poached or grilled Turbot, Hollandaise souse - my personal precious dish. I love Turbot and if I'm in France I'm ordering it all the time. Also they have John Dory, Sole, Salmon, Sea Bass, Lobster Thermidor and other assortment. Paellas: marinara or valenciana (for two minimum), and bouillabaisse too. As for meat: roasted duck filet, veal kidneys, beef filet prepared differently, veal escalope, lamb chops. I would highly recommend beef filet Rossini style with duck liver and steak tartar of course. Desserts in abundance: tart of the day, red fruit macaron, warm chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream, lemon pie with merengue, sorbet and raspberry sauce, prunes in a red wine which I love a lot, l'ile flottante, iced nougat and other ice cream specialties. They offer multiple variations of menu as well, where you can choose of few options they give. The price is more than fare: 27-38 Euros. Despite the fact that the wine list here fits in 2 pages, the selection is quite good and the prices are more than reasonable. A separate section of Provence wines. But particularly demanding guests will be able to find such creations as Puligny-Montrachet, Vosnes Romanee, Bordeaux Grand Cru Classe and Champagne Cristal. Service is typical French: sometimes you have to wait for menus, sometimes they can forget to bring you something of your ordered. But cut them some slack, we're in France. And compared to some other places - this is averagely great service. So, think of it: delicious and lush food, sumptuous rich wine, nice and more or less attentive waiters and check for about 200 Euros for two, including dessert, after dinner drinks and coffee. More than acceptable, isn't it?! No Michelin stars, no performance, but gastronomic though, really high quality and just delectable. A place definetely to return to. read more

So, this place was recommended by family who had good experiences here before and typically eat very well, so I was definitely going to follow the recommendation. We booked a table last Tuesday night for 9:30. We're seated almost immediately on arrival although the place was busy. The service was just atrocious. Mr Grumpy, who was "looking after" us, was dead slow and almost rude. We selected from the Prix Fixe and had wine, but the only time anyone showed any interest (other than the initial welcome), was when they asked us to move to accommodate some people who were meant to be joining a larger group who turned up, as we were ordering deserts. Of course there was no way we were moving, mid desert. Really one of the most unpleasant experiences I have ever had in a restaurant and the food was only average, but that was streets ahead of the service. read more
