Le Bistrot de l’écailler

Very good service, enjoyed the oyster plata and scallops. Was very disappointed with the mussels. Very tiny mussels, no flavour at all. So had to leave half of them as most of the mussels were super tiny.

I was the first one at restaurant around 20:00. It looked very cozy and have gotten great reviews so I thought it was worth a shot to eat there, even tho no one was there. I ordered moules frites, the mussels were great and the fries really good. But the soup was very oily like a bad lip balm. Also not the most amazing tasting. The bread was stale. For dessert I got a chocolate mousse that had crystalized I'm guessing it's the sugar. It could have been richer in flavor else it's good. The service was really great until I was done eating, I was waiting around 20 min before I could ask to pay. 5 min would have been enough to sit and enjoy the vibes before getting approached to ask to pay or they could ask if you wanted a coffee or something to drink.

Victoria is our server. She’s wonderfully attentive. Food was excellent. Its conveniently located portions are generous. We had the seafood tower twice, mussels and Gambas.

Great for seafood enthusiasts! Amazing dinner, especially the seafood platter! And (particularly outstanding for the area) very competent and friendly service.

Lovely seafood place , everything made fresh and the staff is very attentive. I had the oysters and then the moules frites, all of which was amazing. The rosé by glass is is a good choice, I usually like the whispering angel and I found this one to be in the same range. will definitely be back for more!

I visited Le Bistrot de l’Écailler in Cannes and had a very pleasant experience overall. I ordered fresh oysters, which were nicely presented and super fresh — exactly what you’d hope for in a seafood-focused place. I also tried their tartare, which was just average in my opinion — not bad, but not particularly memorable either. The atmosphere was great — charming outdoor seating, calm vibe, and attentive service. It’s a place where you can comfortably enjoy a relaxed seafood meal in a beautiful corner of town. The prices were fair, especially for fresh seafood in Cannes. Definitely good value considering the location and overall experience.

During our recent trip to Cannes, my daughter and I stumbled upon this charming little seafood restaurant tucked away in the picturesque Old Town – and what a delightful surprise it turned out to be! I ordered the Saint Jacques, and it was simply divine – fresh, perfectly prepared, and full of flavor. Every bite was a reminder of just how incredible simple, well-made food can be. The whole meal was a real treat, made even better by the cozy, intimate atmosphere of the restaurant. It truly feels like one of those special places only locals know about. The service was outstanding. I’d especially like to thank our lovely waitress, Victoria, who made us feel so welcome and taken care of. Her warmth and professionalism really stood out. And a big thank you to the chef, Max, for the extra glass of wine – such a thoughtful touch that made our evening even more memorable. One more thing that deserves special mention: the music. Whoever is in charge of the playlist has exceptional taste – the background tunes created a perfect ambiance without being intrusive. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an authentic, heartwarming experience in Cannes. We’ll definitely be back!
