Le Maschou has been a fixture of Le Suquet, Cannes' old quarter, since 1963 — at 15 rue Saint-Antoine, an open grill, French classics and a warm, characterful room up the hill from the port. A local institution that keeps its regulars.

Le Maschou: the wood fire in the Suquet since 1963
The restaurant spells its name Le Maschou. It is at 15 rue Saint-Antoine, in the old Suquet quarter on the hill above the port. It opened in 1963 and has cooked the same way ever since.
The fire
The fireplace is both the centre of the room and the kitchen's main tool. Meat and fish are grilled over a wood fire. The beef comes from selected producers, and everything on the menu is made in the house. It is the kind of cooking that suits a table which cares more about a well-grilled steak than a long tasting menu.
The room
The dining room is in rustic tones around the open hearth. A bar area runs as a lounge with a DJ from 7pm, so there is somewhere to wait for the table with a drink. It feels closer to a country inn than to a Croisette dining room.
Hours
Le Maschou serves dinner only, every night from 7pm, with service until 2.30am. That late kitchen is useful after a screening, a late flight or a long day on a boat, when most dining rooms have closed.
Arriving
Expect a short uphill walk through the old quarter; comfortable shoes matter more here than on the Croisette. Bookings are taken by telephone and by email to the restaurant.
Who it suits
A relaxed family dinner, a group of friends, or a visitor who wants old Cannes rather than the beach clubs. For a livelier Italian evening with a piano and dancing, Luigi by the Martinez is the contrast. Our Cannes 2026 guide places it among the town's other tables.
