Il Girasole - Chez Franco sur Cannes

13/03/2026: Nice spot on the port. A local institution. Food prices are reasonable, but drink prices have skyrocketed, especially wines by the glass and beers.

12/03/2026: At La Pizza Cresci I ordered a pepperoni pizza and was handed half of one. Not a mistake, just their idea of portion control. The thing arrived like a small surfboard, folded slightly under the weight of good intentions and molten cheese. We sat outside in the evening air, which had a bit of a chill, though the place itself hummed along happily. One colleague chose lasagne that looked suspiciously worth stealing. The staff moved like people who had seen busy nights before and weren’t worried about it. If you’re hungry in Cannes, this is a very comfortable way to solve the problem.
