As well as wonderful places to relax the private beaches are great places to eat breakfast, lunch or dinner. We list our two favourites first but to be honest all of the private beaches have upped their game over the past couple of years and we have had good to great experiences at all of the ones we have tried. As opening times vary through the year please check their web site for details of opening times.

Directly next to La Goeland, so the second beach next to the Plage Publique, this is a great beach restaurant with lovely food and service. It is particularily good for vegetarians and vegans with good plant based choices on the menu. A great wine list with a number of wines by the glass including Whispering Angel sister wine to the amazing (and amazingly priced) Garrus. Highly recommended.

The first private beach as you walk away from the Majestic.
This is a family run beach. Breakfast is lovely (see above). The beach restaurant has been completely refurbished in the winter of 2020. The service is friendly and the food reasonable though not that varied if you are planning on spending every day on the beach here. We feel it has slightly lost its way at the moment and that a revamp of the menu is needed to bring it up to date.
This restaurant is open almost the whole year round.

The service is friendly and the food excellent. We have only eaten here out of season but I think we will try the whole beach experience this summer.

A limited menu but the service is friendly. We ate here for the first time in June 2014. It is not stand out but not disappointing.

Changed again but they still don't get it. They have got rid of the dividers on the beach, we had to pay for the beach in advance (in case we ran off without paying I assume) and somehow did not feel welcome. The restaurant now appears to be serving just sushi and puddings, very odd. There are better beaches. Try Plage de Martinez, Miramar Plage or Rado Beach!!

We had a great lunch here in July 2018. Service is excellent and the food fantastic but it is part of the Martinez and is therefore priced accordingly! We would go back.

We had a nice lunch here in August in this fairly upscale beach restaurant. Service was a tad slow and slow to warm but got better as the meal went by. A fantastic menu with good choices for vegetarian and vegans.

Directly next to Mademoiselle Gray, this is beach is the sister to the Mome restaurant, beautifully designed, lovely service and a wonderful menu. Good for vegetarians and vegans with a lot vegan and vegatarian choices on the menu. Between Mademoiselle Gray and Mome it is a difficult call but Mademoiselle Gray probably just gets it but both are highly recommended.

To quote "In 2019, it became one of the first beach restaurants to be totally rebuilt, satifying the demands of the architectural standard and quality objectives of the City of Cannes". We had a great day including lunch here in June 2019. Service is friendly and excellent and the food fantastic. Family run since 1958, we could not fault it. And unlike the Majestic we did not have to pay in advance for the beach!
