Cuisine Cannoise en fête

For 15 days, some forty restaurateurs, food professionals, producers, farmers and craftsmen from the Cannes area will be working together to promote the region's gourmet identity, presenting authentic, home-cooked Cannes cuisine featuring the flavours of the region. The 9th edition of this event is presided over by Christian Sinicropi, a native of Cannes, and this year's patron, Guillaume Arragon, chef-restaurateur at ‘La Rotonde’ in Mandelieu. From 29 March to 12 April Every day, in addition to their usual menus, restaurateurs will be putting together a dish or a formula (2 or 3 courses), using ingredients sourced mainly from the Cannes region (land and sea). All the ‘Cannes dishes’ will have a specifically Cannes name, with a reference to the city or the region, and will be offered at a promotional price. Saturday 29 March from 11am Restaurateurs and food artisans will transform Forville into a vast gourmet market. They will be running a number of workshops demonstrating their specialities, while the monks of the Abbaye de Lérins will be showcasing their wines. It's a huge market showcasing the flavours of Cannes' local produce, and a celebration of sharing and conviviality. Official opening with music at 11am on the Allées de la Liberté.
