Hidden in the oldest part of Cannes is restaurant run by chef Noel Mantel. Noel has a thing for risotto, so if you are crazy for this dish you'll be pleased with the choices he creates. Also, a must to try is the lobster ravioli and roast young rabbit with black olives. The ambience of the place is very pleasant and relaxed but attention to service is never forgotten.
