Vilebrequin La Plage Cannes

Vilebrequin La Plage sits directly on the sands in front of the Hôtel Martinez. It serves a menu of seafood and Mediterranean French cuisine.

While Cannes is crowded with private beach clubs that often feel like indistinguishable rows of loungers, this spot captures the spirit of the Croisette better than its peers. It bypasses the buttoned-up formality of the hotel’s main dining room, offering a relaxed environment where house music and live sets play against the backdrop of the sea. The room runs casual, making it the choice for a long lunch that transitions into the evening, rather than the place for a quiet, seated dinner. Because it operates on the water’s edge, it provides a vantage point of the coastline that many of the inland terrace bars cannot match.
