Best Restaurants in Cannes (2026)
A concierge-ranked guide to the 21 best restaurants in Cannes for 2026, from Croisette beach-dining and old-town grills to Michelin gastronomy on Cap d'Antibes and in the hills.
Why we wrote this guide
Cannes is a small city that eats like a capital. For most of the year it is a working Riviera town on the Cote d'Azur; for two weeks each May the Film Festival turns the Croisette into the most concentrated dining scene in Europe, and the tables that matter book out weeks ahead. This guide runs the whole range: seafront beach-restaurants on the Croisette, wood-fired grills in Le Suquet, Michelin gastronomy in the hills, and sea-terrace lunches on Cap d'Antibes.
Most of the season runs April through October, when the terraces open and service stretches late. We have ranked these 21 restaurants the way a concierge recommends them, weighing the room, the kitchen, the setting, and how hard the reservation is to land.
Outside Las Vegas the restaurant reservation sits with the venue, not with us. What we do is point you to the right room, help you time it around the festival calendar and the beach, and build the rest of the trip around it. Last updated July 2026.
The ranked guide
1. Zuma (Palm Beach)
Zuma opened in May 2024 inside the historic Palm Beach on Pointe Croisette, the brand's first French location and its anchor in the Riviera's contemporary Japanese scene. The 2,000-square-meter room runs on floor-to-ceiling windows and an open robata grill at the center of the floor, framing views across the Bay of Cannes. Two private rooms, Umi and Nami, overlook the marina, and terrace-edge tables fill first.
See Zuma.
Best for: a high-energy contemporary Japanese dinner with a view.
2. La Mome (Old Town)
La Mome sits at 6 Rue Florian in the old town of Cannes, the Lecorche brothers' Cote d'Azur dining room, founded as a homage to the singer Suzanne Vreurick, La Mome Moineau. It pulls a heavy Film Festival crowd, and peak evening slots book weeks ahead. The room reads as understated luxury, with a terrace on the quiet Florian alleyway and live DJs that shift the mood from romantic dinner to social gathering. The kitchen works Mediterranean flavors with modern technique.
See La Mome.
Best for: a see-and-be-seen Mediterranean dinner in the old town.
3. Le Maschou (Le Suquet)
Le Maschou occupies a former fishermen's cave at 15 Rue Saint-Antoine in Le Suquet, a fixture of Cannes dining since 1963, when Jean Brialy and Gerard Fery opened it as a wood-fired grill celebrating Provencal tradition. Emmanuel Viotti helms it now. Exposed stone walls, silver candlesticks, and a wood-burning fireplace set the room, and service includes a rose for the women. The menu hinges on wood-fired cooking: a Tomahawk Steak for Two, Grilled Coquelet, and Lamb Chops lead the signatures.
See Le Maschou.
Best for: a wood-fired, old-world dinner in Le Suquet.
4. Nammos (Palm Beach)
Nammos is the dining-room side of the Mykonos beach-club brand, set on prime Croisette beachfront and sister to the legendary Nammos Mykonos. It runs daily from noon to 2 a.m. across the April to October season. An expansive terrace of plush cabanas opens onto Mediterranean views, and live DJs fuel the room. The kitchen works a Mediterranean-Japanese fusion, from tuna tartare with yuzu and caviar to grilled octopus.
See Nammos.
Best for: a glossy beachfront lunch that rolls into dinner.
5. Le Baoli (Port Canto)
Le Baoli holds a waterfront position at Port Canto along the Boulevard de la Croisette, working as both a Mediterranean restaurant and a nightclub from April through October, nightly from 7 p.m. to 2 a.m., pulling an international crowd through festival season and the summer. The outdoor terrace looks over the Mediterranean amid tropical plantings, and world-class DJs and live performances follow the dining hours, turning the space into a high-energy nightclub. The kitchen leans Mediterranean with Asian accents.
See Le Baoli.
Best for: a dinner that turns into a late night on the water.
6. Fred l'Ecailler (Pointe Croisette)
Fred l'Ecailler sits on Place de l'Etang near Palm Beach in Pointe Croisette, its shaded terrace set over the petanque courts beneath the plane trees. Founded by Fred Garbellini, it is Cote d'Azur seafood dining that draws a Film Festival clientele, built around impeccably fresh, locally sourced fish, in a fisherman's bistro of nets and boat models. The kitchen works classic Mediterranean technique: Fried Calamari, Grilled Red Mullet, a Mini Bouillabaisse with croutons and rouille, and a Fish Tartare.
See Fred l'Ecailler.
Best for: a relaxed seafood lunch under the plane trees.
7. Anna (La Croisette)
Anna is a Greek-Mediterranean restaurant on La Croisette near Palm Beach in Pointe Croisette, its terrace looking over the petanque courts to the Mediterranean beyond, and it has drawn its share of Film Festival diners. The kitchen builds on fresh, seasonal ingredients: Lamb Kleftiko slow-cooked with herbs and Grilled Octopus in lemon oil anchor the menu, while a Sea Bass Ceviche and Prawn Saganaki show its precision with seafood. The room is whitewashed walls and nautical accents, breezy and beachfront.
See Anna.
Best for: Greek-Mediterranean plates with a Croisette view.
8. Salama (Le Suquet)
Salama tucks into a narrow corner of Le Suquet, the oldest quarter of Cannes. The interior is wrapped in zellige tilework and low-slung seating that reads like a Marrakech riad, with a shaded terrace on Rue Florian and soft oud music. The kitchen leans into classic Moroccan technique: Harira soup opens the meal, and the mains pivot between a slow-braised lamb tagine with prunes and a chicken pastilla, with vegetable couscous alongside.
See Salama.
Best for: a Moroccan dinner off the boulevard in the old town.
9. Medusa (La Croisette)
Medusa is a beachfront restaurant on Plage du Martinez, right on the Boulevard de la Croisette, running daily from 10 a.m. to 2 a.m. through the summer season, roughly April to October.

See Medusa.

10. La Petite Maison (La Croisette)
La Petite Maison sits on the Boulevard de la Croisette, the Cannes flagship of the global LPM group and a fixture on the Film Festival dining circuit. The cooking is Nicoise-inspired, built for a long lunch rather than a squeezed-in pre-club stop. The kitchen opens with Pissaladiere, the caramelized-onion tart, and moves through Grilled Sea Bass with Artichokes, Lamb Cutlets with Eggplant, and Linguine with Clams, with the signature Tomate Martini on the drinks list.
See La Petite Maison.
Best for: a long, reliable Riviera lunch or dinner.
11. Luigi (La Croisette)
Luigi is a Cannes classic on the Boulevard de la Croisette, serving authentic Italian cooking since 1956. It runs as a restaurant, piano bar, and club in one, which gives the room an easy dinner-into-late-night rhythm. The dining room blends nostalgic Italian charm with crisp linens, soft jazz, and a Mediterranean-facing terrace. The kitchen balances tradition and technique across Truffle Tagliatelle, Grilled Seabream, and Veal Milanese, with starters such as Burrata with heirloom tomatoes and Vitello Tonnato.
See Luigi.
Best for: a late Italian dinner with a piano-bar tail.

It hosts the Film Festival jury dinner, which makes it the season's single most sought reservation. The dining room, designed by Remi Tessier, channels 1960s maritime glamour through a Christina O yacht aesthetic: vintage film posters, signed scripts, and a Palme d'Or-shaped chandelier. The menu is seafood-centric, with Mediterranean views from the seafront room.
See La Palme d'Or.
Best for: the festival's marquee gastronomic dinner.
13. L'Ecrin Plage (Port Canto)

19. Le Vesuvio (La Croisette)
Le Vesuvio is the Croisette's Italian institution, a family-run fixture at 68 Boulevard de la Croisette that has fed Cannes and its film crowd since 1969. It is the glamorous, unfussy late dinner on the seafront that serves when most Cannes kitchens have closed. Executive chef Dominique Calcerano, who joined in 2019, keeps it a proper family Italian, with wood-fired pizza the draw.
