Going Out in Cannes

Going Out in Cannes - Tourist Guide

​TIPPING the bane of people's lives... to tip or not?

Most French restaurants include taxes and a 15% tip in the price of a meal - so not necessary to leave an extra tip.  Look for “prix service compris” on the menu and bills. If you wish to leave more 5% is correct. If prix compris is not printed on the bill then tips are welcomed but not necessary.  
Tipping is not generally required or commonplace in bars and clubs but is customary in the case of tour guides and theatre ushers. 
In a taxi you can round your fare to the nearest euro or add an extra euro or two. 
In hotels it is normal to leave a few euros for the chambermaid and give a euro per bag to a porter carrying your luggage. 
Small tips are also appreciated at hairdressers and beauty salons, and can range from a few coins to about €10 depending on the treatments you have received.


​Beef is butchered differently in France from the UK.  Onglet and bavette are skirt and basse cote is chuck steak all of which the Brits would use for stewing or braising. The French, however, often cut the onglet and bavette thinly and flash fry it as steak. Other stewing cuts include:  jarret=shin; paleron=blade; plat de cote= brisket on the bone.  
French friends say if you want a good steak go to a restaurant. When asked how you like your steak cooked you can say bleu, saignant, a point or bien cuit: almost raw to well done.

Eating out in Cannes

There are five Michelin Bib Gourmands bistro/brasseries in the area. These offer a three course set menu for a maximum price of 32 euros.

Two of them are attached to Michelin * restaurants: Bistrot des Anges, Le Cannet, run by Bruno Oger of Villa Archange; and the Bistrot Oasis now located at the l'Hermitage hotel in in La Napoule. 

In Le Cannet is the Bistrot Saint Sauveur. It is famous for its wine selection. From 30 to 2,500 euros a bottle.... or you can buy a glass at just 3.50 euros.

In Mougins, it's the well known L'Amandier which specialises in the culinary delights of Nice.

Nicholas Sarkozy and a host of local politicians dine here at Les Bons Enfants, rue Meynadier in Cannes. Three generations of the Giorsetti family have owned this restaurant.
