"Phenomenal!! My wife and I shared the Thai Chicken Salad, house specialty (beef with foie gras and potatoes), truffle gnocchi, and tiramisu. The salad had a nice array of ingredients and was the perfect appetizer, while the two main dishes complemented each other superbly. The beef was perfectly cooked, tender, juicy, with a lovely sauce and perfectly crisped potatoes, but the star was the GNOCCHI!! The truffle sauce was heavenly, and was perfect for dipping the potatoes. I was thankful for the house bread because it let me scoop up the sauce to the last drop. The tiramisu was satisfying, with nice layers to cap off one of the best meals of my life."

"In this location, surrounded as it is with large restaurants spilling out onto the pavement with their me-too menus of les pizzas and pâtes and overly familiar sounding meals, it is most unexpected to find a bespoke and personal restaurant offering a fine selection of dishes cooked with care. The menu, described appropriately as the 'carte du moment' presents a mercifully small number of seasonal and therefore changing entrées, plats and desserts. However, it is still hard to choose. Each one is enticing, interesting and original with the promise of flavours, combinations of ingredients and textures, without tricks and unnecessary embellishment. For a large number, a selection of all the entrées as share dishes makes a lot of sense. Everyone gets a taste of something and the difficulty of having to choose is avoided. For the plats, a single selection is best with pork, duck, tuna and salmon along with risotto as options on the night we were there. A fine burger also available is perhaps a concession to the location and, actually, a very fine dish. Four desserts are offered with each one tempting and beautifully prepared. Another selection for the table is highly recommended. The wine list is adequate and the ambiance works for lone dining as well as for a larger and more raucous group. The service is smiling and efficient as well as courteous. This is a place to make a favourite. The risk to this reviewer is that it will become deservedly highly popular and impossible for last minute bookings."

"Very good discovery of Ivorian cuisine (we didn't know). The card is limited (it is also the guarantee of fresh preparation) but quite varied for all tastes. The hibiscus ginger cocktail is a must. The 2 sisters are very welcoming, one in service to the other in the kitchen. A little far from the city centre and a street that passes, but it is worth visiting if you are looking for an original, tasteful and reasonable meal. Thank you both. (The small family of tourists has just arrived in Cannes)"

"Nous sommes venus plusieurs fois au "Pistou" et la cuisine est toujours à la hauteur ( fraîcheur des produits, présentation originale et soignée ). Mais le service vient nettement ternir le repas: la serveuse "Mona" se montre particulièrement odieuse, servant le client avec dédain sans aucun sourire, ni parole. Il faudrait, de plus qu'elle apprenne à dire "bonjour, au revoir et merci "! La restauration fonctionne sur le relationnel avec le client et il serait bien préférable qu'elle fasse un autre métier !! On revient au "Pistou" pour la qualité de la cuisine mais on serait bien tenté d'aller voir ailleurs, en particulier dans le restaurant d'à côté où la serveuse est avenante et souriante.."

"a superb discovery in the cane alleys. away from the crowd except the day of the market. a welcoming establishment. the manager is very friendly and listened to his clients. we hesitated between the 3 types of dishes offered being: pizzas, hamburgers and market bowls resembling poke bowl in improved version. So we chose to take a dish of each kind! a vegetarian pizza with delicious, colorful and homemade season vegetables. a perfectly cooked bacon hamburger with excellent fries and it is a Belgian who tells you this! . the market bowl was very qualitative with top-choice products and seasoned in the right way. A big blow for the coconut rice that made me travel away from the france. Nothing to say about this establishment. low prices and quality dishes in addition to being well presented. Thank you to the manager for his friendliness."
