Although I'm a relative newcomer to Cannes (this is only my 3rd year), I did have an elongated stay two years ago because I was on a jury seeking entertainment outside the gruelling Palais business. My favorite eaterie was Pastis just off the Croisette, but there were two other really fab restaurants in Old Town called Le Mesclun & Gavroche:
Pastis
28 rue Commandant Andre
Le Mesclun
16 rue Saint-Antoine (Old Town)
Reservations: 04 93 99 45 19 (suggest booking in advance)
Gavroche
1, petite rue Sain Antoine (Old Town)
Reservations: 04 93 99 01 01 (suggest booking in advance)
Equally important - drinking establishments. I think everyone's familiar with Cafe 72, more fondly known as The Gutter Bar, but there are a few other interesting watering holes you might want to try:
Hotel 3.14 - brilliant rooftop bar!
Corner of rue F Einessy (off Boulevard de la Croisette) and rue Medecin Lt B Lepine
Charley's Bar - brilliant late night bar!
rue Saint-Antoine (Old Town) about halfway up the hill
Morrison's - which is perfect sports viewing
8 rue Teisseire just off the main shopping street rue dAntibes (which runs parallel to the Croisette)
Happy Canning!!!
