The restaurants recommended in this blog have all been visited by me and my wife and often with friends. We have visited them at least once. I only recommend restaurants that have a quality that, in my opinion, makes them worth a visit.
Some are world class restaurants, some are very simple, but the food is always worth the price and the chefs have prepared it with pride and love of good food.
The food is essential for being mentioned here. Minor problems when it comes to service and other things are mentioned but does not disqualify them from being recommended.
We have also eaten in some restaurants in the area that do not leave any memories worth writing about.
Finally we have been to very few bad restaurants and have been badly serviced in a few.
These three categories are marked differently in List of Restaurants.
♥ marks our special restaurants. On the map they are found by the red marks and in the search term list under coup de ceur

GRAND CAFE

GRAND CAFE - Les Allées de la Liberté, 06400 Cannes

We just had a salad at this place, but what a salad. It is difficult to know were to go along the Croisette in Canne so we just dropped into a place that looked good. The service was not great, but the salad was. It is amazing how many ways you can arrange the vegetables on a place to make a salad. This was generous, beautiful and tasty. I had a tomato mozzarella salad and my wife had a Waldorf salad.

As too many times in Provence, we however got a bill that they pretended belonged to another table. Of some reason they are always bigger than ours.

So far we had used Guide Michelin to find good restaurants. This time we liked to find something ourselves. The only criterion was that my wife liked to eat deep fried Squash flowers. We found the little restaurant La Potiniere du Palais  just a little off Boulevard la Croissette.

We were not disappointed. The squash-flowers were crispy and delicious. The main course was lamb-chops that were taken off the bone. They were perfect. I have always claimed that French people cannot make mashed potatoes – at least not as good as mine, but I have to change that opinion. For the third day in a row we had really tasty mashed potatoes made with olive oil. Here they had added some pieces of black olives into it – very tasty.

They had a good selection of wine on half liter bottles. The service was friendly and professional and the prize was right for such good food. But, on the other hand, if you are located just across the street from the Festival Palace you cannot serve anything but the best.
