Our Cannes food section carries 2 curated guides, the restaurants guide and the cafes guide. Each holds 12 verified entries. Both shortlists sit at their 12-entry cap, so each guide offers a full selection to work from. The 2-guide structure keeps sit-down meals and daytime café stops on separate tracks, which tends to make planning easier than a single merged roster would.
If evening dining is the priority, start with the restaurants guide and its 12 entries. For the stretch between breakfast and late afternoon, the cafes guide covers 12 spots that lean toward lighter, longer stops. You'll likely use both over a few days in Cannes, but they serve different moments of the day. At 12 entries each, both are tight enough to browse in a few minutes before you head out.
August in Cannes averages 30°C with 4 rain days, so outdoor tables stay comfortable through most of the month. By September the average high drops to 26°C and rain days rise to 6, a shift that might move you toward indoor seating more often.
