Caveau 30

Caveau 30 is a brasserie at 45 Rue Félix Faure in Cannes, close to the Old Port, in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region of France. It is known for seafood and traditional Provençal cooking, and it has the feel of an established local address rather than a Croisette showpiece. The menu leans on the Mediterranean catch and the classic dishes of the coast. Bouillabaisse, the Provençal fish stew traditionally served with rouille and croutons, is the signature order, along with fish soup, which is a local staple, and grilled sea bass, often prepared simply to highlight the freshness of the fish. Prices are moderate, so the restaurant works well for a full sit-down meal without the cost of the seafront hotels. The dining room has the lively, slightly noisy atmosphere of a brasserie, with traditional decor, attentive but unhurried service and an easy smart-casual dress code. Locals and visitors mix, and the street location near the harbour means it attracts both festival and holiday trade. The drinks list is built around Provençal wines, especially rosé and white wines that suit fish, together with the usual aperitifs and beers. The restaurant is open daily for lunch and dinner. Reservations are recommended in the evening, particularly in July and August, at weekends and during the film festival and trade shows, when the Old Port area is full. Lunch is easier to arrange without a booking. For visitors who want to try bouillabaisse, asking about any advance-order requirement when booking is sensible, since the dish is often prepared to order. Rue Félix Faure runs between the Old Port and the town centre, so the restaurant is convenient for the harbour promenade and for the climb up to Le Suquet.
