Cannes Cuisine Festival: A Week Of 100% Gastronomy And Local Produce
Attention all food lovers and gourmets of the Côte d'Azur! The city of Cannes is organizing a new culinary event called "Cuisine cannoise en fête." For one week, local products will be in the spotlight, and participating restaurateurs will offer dishes or menus based on local ingredients. Enough to satisfy your curiosity and appetite!
Local products are being celebrated.
Riding the locavore trend, restaurateurs in the city of Cannes and its surroundings are launching a new event called Cuisine cannoise en fête!
For one week, restaurateurs and culinary professionals, producers, farmers, and artisans from the Cannes Basin have decided to highlight the products and gourmet specialties of their region.
Between land and sea, Cannes cuisine draws its inspiration from seasonal vegetables from the market gardeners of the Siagne Valley and fish caught off the coast of the Lérins Islands...
It's at the Forville Market, the nerve center of Cannes gastronomy, that connoisseurs gather to stock up on local products. It is therefore at this market that the event will be inaugurated.
2025 Edition
The 2025 edition of "Cuisine cannoise en fête" highlights authentically homemade Cannes cuisine with the flavors of the Cannes basin from March 29 to April 12, 2025.
For 15 days, the flavors of the Cannes basin will be celebrated thanks to the involvement of around forty restaurateurs, culinary artisans, producers, and farmers. Together, they will showcase the local culinary identity by offering authentic, homemade cuisine rooted in the Cannes terroir.
For this 9th edition, the event will be held under the honorary presidency of Christian Sinicropi, a native of Cannes, and sponsored by chef Guillaume Arragon, head of the restaurant La Rotonde in Mandelieu.
