Aux Bons Enfants sur Cannes

Food was mid. Nothing extraordinary or deserving a recommendation.

Aux Bons Enfants is a true hidden gem tucked away in the bustling Rue Meynadier. This small, family-run institution has been in business since 1935 and its inclusion in the Michelin Guide for 2026 is well-deserved. Located just steps from the Marché Forville, it offers a refreshing and authentic escape from the more tourist-heavy spots in the city. ​Why it’s worth a visit: ​Seasonal Excellence: The menu is small—featuring just five starters, five mains, and four desserts—which allows them to focus on exceptional quality. The dishes change frequently to reflect the freshest market ingredients. ​Great Value: They offer a high-quality three-course menu for 41€, which is a fantastic price for this level of cooking in central Cannes. Wine bottles start around 40€. ​Atmosphere & Service: The vibe is warm, cozy, and welcoming, with friendly service. ​Insider Tip: While we easily found a lunch table on a spring weekday, reservations are highly recommended during the high season as this small space fills up fast. IS CASH ONLY, no credit cards are accepted. ​If you are looking for the best seasonal food in Cannes at a reasonable price, this is undoubtedly the spot.

Everything about Aux Bons Enfants was amazing!! Great service, cozy exclusive environment, and elite level food!

Excellent place. The food is refined, the wine list is decent. The service is friendly. The atmosphere is relaxed, if a little noisy, at least on our visit. A place well worth a stop.

Great food, lovely atmosphere and ambiance, super friendly and professional service – BUT, the acoustics! Ugh, very, very loud.

Of several restaurants we tried on our 4 days visit to Cote d'Azur this one was our favourite! We were there on lunch, tried fish tartare, sea bream, octopus, cheese cake and chocolate ganache - everything was fantastic.

We had a wonderful evening at this dinner for two. The food was outstanding: each dish was perfectly executed, with precise cooking and exceptionally well-balanced flavors. You can taste the true culinary expertise and attention to detail that makes all the difference. The service was attentive. You can sense the genuine pleasure they take in sharing and perpetuating the history of this establishment through their dishes. A truly successful culinary experience that we wholeheartedly recommend. (Set menu €41 per person and a bottle of Rully Premier Cru wine approximately €60).

The food is delicious, and they offer wonderful new menus every month. I definitely recommend trying it.

We had a truly excellent meal. High-quality ingredients and superb preparation. The vegetarian options, while limited, were of excellent quality. The wine list was also well-stocked.

Tradition and warmth in Cannes! 🍷🍽️ Aux Bons Enfants is a wonderfully cozy restaurant with a truly special atmosphere.
