Restaurant Recommendations
Curated by celebrity restaurant reviewer Stef Schaldenbrand
Aux Bon Enfants
This cash-only restaurant has been family run since it opened in 1935. All the produce, fruit, veg and fish from small boats, comes direct from Forville Market just down the road. Luc Giorsetti, the third generation, continues the tradition of his grandmother's recipes, which are both regional and French.
Table 22
Conveniently located in the hectic tourist area near Le Suquet, Table 22 is considered one of the best restaurants in town by both locals and visitors. The restaurant showcases unwavering dedication to Provencal cuisine and both ambiance and service are regarded as excellent.
Forville Market
Open daily before 1 pm, stroll the bustling stalls of this market beloved for its fresh seafood, produce, flowers and typical Provençal products like socca (addictive chickpea flatbread) and tapenade. Also typical are freshly-shucked oysters and wine for days.
Fromagerie Ceneri
Since 1968, this old-school fromagerie (cheese shop) has been hawking a legitimate array of cheeses for as far as the eye can see: creamy bries, tangy cheddars, and aged goudas, fitted to suit all palettes. An ideal to-go companion with a bottle or two of wine for a truly French lunch in the park.Bessem

FAQs
Are y’all doing a registry?
We are good on having enough “stuff” and “things”, but are excited to make more experiences in life. If you absolutely must show some financial love, you can donate to our honeymoon fund: https://venmo.com/u/Jeremiah-Wassom
What restaurants or activities are there?
This page also hosts some restaurant suggestions as curated by our most knowledgable foodie friend, Stefanie Schaldenbrand and some views and things to do in and around Cannes. The bride and groom are also huge fans of discovery and there will be many great options from small cafes to world-class fine dining in the area.
Are there hotel blocks?
As of now, we are not currently planning on room blocks, but we may update this in the coming months. You can easily stay in the area and walk to the wedding or stay in Théoule-sur-Mer, Cannes, or as far as Antibes, if you so desire. The world is our oyster and it happens to be happy hour.
What should we wear?
There’s a moodboard up above and more in-depth fashion ideas on Pinterest. We request that everyone dress in their favorite “Coastal Couture” for the wedding. That means summery pastels, light materials, warm weather, prepared for Aperol Spritzes on the beach. We want you in vivid color! As for any wedding, please refrain from wearing white or black in this case. For every other event, please dress to impress, but be comfortable. This region can be in the high 70s and low 80s in August/September.
Are children allowed?
We understand, many of you have kids. And we know they’re great, but this is adult-time. We want you to focus on having a good time and not on parental responsibilities - and other guests being able to do the same. This goes for all of the events and for every guest. If you must, bring the kids to experience France, but we kindly and firmly ask they not be brought to the events.
What else should we do while in France?
You’ll be in one of the most beautiful Mediterranean regions in the world and in the country who prides itself on its cuisine. You’ll be insanely close to Nice, Antibes, St. Tropez, Monte Carlo, and Cannes. Additionally, you’re offensively close to Mallorca, Paris, Milan, Sicily, Rome, Milan, Lake Como, Chamonix, Budapest, Vienna, Palermo, Prague, Morocco, Barcelona, Ibiza, and so, so much more.
