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 September 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 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. Umi and Nami are elevated balconies used for private groups, with views over 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, a 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 feels like understated luxury, with a terrace on the quiet Florian alleyway, and every evening the lane comes alive as La Mome and its sister rooms open together. The kitchen works Mediterranean flavors with modern technique.

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, cooking over a wood fire on a formula that has barely changed. 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 baby chicken, and rack of lamb lead the signatures.
See Le Maschou.
Best for: a wood-fired, old-world dinner in Le Suquet.

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. The kitchen works Aegean-inspired Mediterranean plates with a sushi and crudo list, from tuna tartare with taramasalata and bottarga to grilled octopus with melitzanosalata.
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, with dinner starting at 8 p.m. and the club opening at midnight, pulling an international crowd through festival season and the summer. The outdoor terrace looks over the Mediterranean amid tropical plantings, and DJs and live performances follow the dining hours, turning the space into a high-energy nightclub. The kitchen leans Mediterranean with Asian accents.

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, a fishing enthusiast, it is Cote d'Azur seafood dining that draws a Film Festival clientele, built on freshness, simplicity and generosity, in a fisherman's bistro of nets and boat models.

7. Anna (La Croisette)
Anna is a Greek restaurant at 63 Boulevard de la Croisette in the center of Cannes, and it has drawn its share of Film Festival diners.

The room, designed by Madrid studio Cousi Interiorismo, suggests Greece without cliches, with a fabric-covered ceiling, a terrazzo floor and plaster wall sconces.
See Anna.
Best for: Greek-Mediterranean plates with a Croisette view.
8. Salama (La Croisette)
Salama sits at 10 Rue Florian, in the golden square of Cannes, a short detour back from the Croisette. The dining room is elegant and unmistakably oriental, pairing traditional and contemporary design. The kitchen leans into classic Moroccan technique: chicken pastilla for two is the signature starter, and the mains run from a lamb shank tagine with pear, prunes and almonds to couscous with seven vegetables.

The cooking is sunny Nicoise and Mediterranean food built for a long, unhurried lunch.

11. Luigi (La Croisette)
Luigi is a Cannes classic a short walk back from the Croisette, serving authentic Italian cooking since 1956.

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 calamarata, lobster linguine, and the Milanese veal chop, with starters such as burrata with cherry tomatoes and vitello tonnato.

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.
