I must admit that it was not the restaurant&#8217;s illustrious history that attracted me but the two-course fixed price menu for \u20ac20.50. Dining along the beach in Cannes can be a very expensive proposition! You&#8217;re lucky to get a salad or a small plate of pasta for that price. Sure, you can enjoy the sun and surf but what about filling up the tummy?<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m happy to report that <strong>Rado Plage<\/strong> satisfied on all counts from price to taste to portion size. The two-course menu offered a choice of three starters and three main courses. Although the salmon tartare and seafood cocktail looked tempting, we opted for\u00a0 the old standby, <em>Salade Ni\u00e7oise <\/em>and were not disappointed. All the ingredients were fresh and the vinaigrette was well-balanced. It was nearly a meal in itself. The main course was even better. A good chunk of hake was sauteed in a Mediterranean sauce and accompanied by sauteed carrots, ratatouille, rice and an interesting flan. My companion enjoyed giant sauteed shrimp with the same side dishes. We were also well-pleased with the crisp house ros\u00e9. For an extra \u20ac5 we could have ordered the three-course menu but, frankly we were already full.<\/p>\n<p>There may be finer dining along the Cannes bay and there are surely glitzier and trendier places, but we agreed that Rado Plage offers the <strong>best value for money<\/strong> of all the Cannes beach restaurants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Easter Sunday marks the grand resurrection of beach restaurants in Cannes so I decided to check out Rado Plage, which is famous for being the oldest beach-restaurant in Cannes.
