Our second evening of eating like a local in Cannes: La Cave , a tiny, lively old-style bistro serving classic French food and wine. Amazing how in an unbelievably modest sized open kitchen and service area, 2 chefs and 3 waiters can efficiently create and serve flavorful and filling plates to a packed restaurant all the while remaining amiable and attentive!
Pictured above: Duck Breast with Honey sauce and below: Loin of Veal with Mushrooms. I only wish we had a larger party so we could have ordered more.
One of the most popular restaurants in Cannes; La Cave is listed in the 10Best of Cannes and numerous other Cannes and travel websites. ” Chef Philippe Vergnes continues to confidently cook the dishes that have made the reputation of the place: stuffed sardines with wild herbs; cod Provençal; tomato cake; stuffed cabbage, aioli, pot-au-feu; lamb stuffed with artichokes; clafoutis, chocolate mousse… tranquil cooking, well presented. The wine card is the pride of this address: as rich in Bordeaux as in Provence domains, with grand crus and some nice Provence by the glass.” Le Guide Gantié

I have to say that what I loved most was seeing those mushrooms! I’m such a veggie girl 🙂 Thank you so much for sharing. I hope you are having a relaxing weekend!
Absolutely fantastic…I am looking forward to hearing all of the wonderful details from your trip….

@Claudia – La Cave was the total Parisian bistro feel with authentic Provencal cuisine and a fabulous wine list. For seafood, we were directed to Gaston Gastounette and were not disappointed!
