The addresses I give my own passengers in Cannes: the distinguished tables, the institutions of the Croisette and the Suquet, the private beaches, the islands, the museums and the nights of the Palm Beach. Each one with its phone number, its website and directions.
Nothing here was chosen on the strength of online ratings. Three families only: the 2026 Michelin Guide, the institutions that passengers ask for by name, and the houses of the Suquet and the Forville market, where you eat the catch of the day.
One star in Cannes itself, and four more a few minutes away — Le Cannet, Mandelieu, Théoule. Those are real taxi rides, and they are worth it.
No star, no label, but everyone in Cannes knows them. These are the addresses a passenger names unprompted, and the ones you have to book — especially in May.
Old Cannes and its market. This is where you eat the catch of the day, five minutes and a world away from the Croisette.
🚕 I drive you there — and I come back for you after the meal. The Croisette is hopeless by car in the evening.
+33 6 58 27 93 12Listed from the unmissable to the barely known. Cannes fits into two kilometres of seafront — but the Lérins islands, fifteen minutes away by boat, are what visitors most regret having missed.
🚕 I drive you there. The Suquet, the Croisette, the pier for the islands: I drop you as close as it gets.
+33 6 58 27 93 12All of them on the Croisette or by Port Canto. Expect anywhere from about €30 a day on the simpler beaches to well over €100 in front of the palace hotels — always confirm on the spot.
🚕 I drive you there. Drop-off at the beach door, pick-up whenever you like, no parking to hunt for on the Croisette.
+33 6 58 27 93 12Cannes is not a city of great museums, but it has three that are worth the trip, and one of them stands on an island. The Bonnard museum, up in Le Cannet, is the only museum in the world devoted to the painter.
🚕 I drive you there. The Suquet, Le Cannet, the island pier: a taxi saves you the day.
+33 6 58 27 93 12Same rule as for the restaurants: institutions and the upper end. Cannes comes alive at night mainly in season and during the festivals; out of season, several of these close or open at weekends only.
The dress code matters: several of them turn away trainers and shorts at the door, and the selection is real during the Festival.
🚕 I bring you back. The clubs on the Croisette close at dawn — call before you go out and I'll note the time of your return.
