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.
