A lot of restaurants in Cannes that are along the beachfront make their money from their location and not their food. L'Annex is one of the better ones with this expensive real estate, but the food...

Da Laura is only opened for lunch, but the dining room is always full. Tables are set up around a hand-cranked prosciutto di Parma slicer. The prosciutto from this slicer serves as a replacement...

One might not expect this sort of environment at a restaurant on the Côte d'Azur, where fish and salads tend to rule for most of the year, but this cozy restaurant is worth a look, even if it...

This is a really great pizza place in Cannes right on the water. The prices are quite reasonable for what you get: the pizzas are huge and contain gourmet ingredients, and there are tons of...

Great sushi is really hard to find in France. Wasabi d'Azur would be considered so-so sushi in the States, but here, in comparison to other places, it's pretty good.

Any English-speaker visiting Cannes should stop by Quay's for a pint and a chat with the barstaff. Cannes has a big English-speaking population: people work on the boats from everywhere from...

If you're looking for something to take as a picnic to the beach, this café has great stuff. The pressed sandwiches are a lot like paninis, but they're made on white sandwich bread instead of the...
