Why Locals Love 72 Croisette
Nestled along the iconic Boulevard de la Croisette in Cannes, 72 Croisette offers an indulgent blend of a bar, café, and classic French restaurant experience that perfectly captures the vibrant Riviera atmosphere. This stylish spot is more than just a place to grab a drink or a bite—it’s a front-row seat to the glamorous life of Cannes, where you can watch the world go by while savoring expertly crafted cocktails and delicious French fare.
The charm of 72 Croisette lies in its unique location and welcoming ambiance. Patrons often find themselves drawn to the outdoor seating that faces the sparkling Mediterranean, creating an unforgettable backdrop whether you’re enjoying a leisurely afternoon tea or savoring a late evening cocktail. As one visitor, John Boccuzzi, beautifully described, sitting outside with a cappuccino and a freshly baked pain au chocolat while taking in ocean views is an experience that feels both elegant and serene.
The menu reflects refined French tastes with a focus on quality and comfort. Indulgent staples like buttery croissants, rich pan au chocolat, and crispy, delicious fries intertwine with more inventive cocktail options that amuse the palate without overwhelming it. While some guests have noted the prices are on the higher side—understandably so due to the prestigious location—the general consensus applauds the value for the vibrant atmosphere and attentive service. Elena points out that although two cocktails and tea might tally over 40 euros, the friendliness and professionalism of the staff make the splurge worthwhile.
Lunch here turns into a memorable affair; food enthusiast Reynald Grattagliano called it “fantastic,” commending both the exquisite flavors and the inviting atmosphere that make 72 Croisette a favorite haunt. The service is consistently described as warm and attentive, creating a relaxed yet refined environment where every guest feels looked after.

Nice place to sit and watch people. Expensive due to its location (40 euros) for 2 cocktails and a tea however convenient prices for the neighbourhood. Staff are very nice and service was great. The cocktails were good too.

7 euros for a cappuccino should be a crime, but apart from that food was good, service was very good, vibes were on point. Fries are delicious!
