A long-established seafood brasserie on rue Félix Faure, steps from the old port and the Forville market. One of the most-reviewed tables in central Cannes — listed here from the public record, with what we'd check before going.
Astoux et Brun is a brasserie at 27 rue Félix Faure, in central Cannes a short walk from the old port and the Forville market — and it's long been one of the names locals and visitors associate with seafood and shellfish platters in town. On Google it carries a 4.5 rating across more than 2,600 reviews, which makes it one of the most established and most-reviewed eating places in the centre.
We list it for that track record rather than from a meal of our own (see below). The kitchen runs a wide service window through the day, and the price band sits in the roughly €30–80 range per the public listing — squarely a sit-down seafood brasserie, not a quick bite.
Rue Félix Faure is the lively pedestrian-friendly artery running from the town hall toward the Palais des Festivals, a couple of minutes from the Forville covered market and the foot of the Suquet. It's one of the most walked stretches of central Cannes, which is part of the appeal and part of the catch — in season it's busy.
We haven't eaten here ourselves yet, so treat this as a sourced notebook entry rather than a review. Before you go, we'd confirm the current opening hours (the service window is wide but can shift by season), book ahead in summer and during the Festival when central tables fill, and check that the seafood platters match your budget — fruits de mer add up quickly.
We'll add our own verified notes after a visit. For now, the rating and the location are the honest signals.
