Carlton Beach Club — Restaurant in Grasse

All these beach clubs are NOT the same. We know, because we went to a couple during our visit here. A couple days ago we were at a different club about 100 meters west of this one and the service there was not good.

THIS club (Carlton Beach Club) was on a whole other level and the same price! Service was amazing and truly 7-star for us. Example- I put a towel over my feet because they were in the sun and someone immediately ran down and installed additional umbrellas to make shade for my feet and to assure we were comfortable. I never had to ask, they watched for my comfort. They were very attentive the whole visit and wanted to assure you are happy. Very impressed and this was the best service we had out of our 1 week visit here in Cannes.

My only complaint, and it’s not the clubs fault, is the water was a bit dirty by the peer. Moving over to the club next door, while in the water, to get away from the peer worked well. No issues with that. A few more steps back to our seat from the ocean- no problem. Our kid found another friendly kid to play with so that was also a blessing. They enjoyed looking at the fish by their feet in the water and playing in the clean sand.

The people in front of us were super high maintenance. Like next level spoiled rotten high maintenance. When the lady would come back from the beach she would want here cushions swapped out. If the help did not bring her fresh towels directly from the dryer for her new cushions she would refuse them and demand new towels. The towels could not be set down anywhere or they would complain they were dirtied and refuse them. The towels had to be put directly on their seats immediately. It was entertaining to watch while we sipped our espresso martinis chuckling at their own self misery and chaos. The staff was incredible and attended to their outrageous requests without a problem. Very impressed by the staff and their professionalism while watching.

Thank-you for a great experience! Food, liquor, location and service...

Unfortunately, our lunch at Carlton Beach Club fell far short of expectations. Despite booking a table several weeks in advance through their website and arriving right on time, we were told to wait at the bar for 10 minutes before being seated, which ended up being about 20 minutes. With a stated two-hour time limit on reservations, this kind of delay is unacceptable and reflects poor organization and management.

One of the main reasons we chose this place was to try the Homer Lobster Roll after seeing videos online about the Paris location. We also saw that it had been promoted on Carlton’s instagram in the past. Although the original lobster roll was not listed on the menu (only the trio of mini rolls was), I asked our server if the original full-size roll was available. He said yes, so we ordered it. What arrived looked nothing like the version we’d seen served in Paris. No generous chunks of lobster, but instead tiny cut up pieces drowned in an excess of mayo. I understand this isn’t Paris, but if you’re going to tout the Homer brand, the quality should be there. If it’s being offered, it should be done right. Especially when you’re charging almost double the price at their locations in Paris. The fries were good however, as well as the tuna carpaccio starter.

Everything was fine service-wise until the bill came, when the server asked me in a somewhat pushy manner if I wanted to add anything for the service, claiming it wasn’t included. This was false. The menu clearly states at the bottom that service is included. Her approach felt unprofessional and left a very bad impression.

Despite the beautiful setting and famous name, Carlton Beach Club fails to deliver consistent quality or honest service. You’ll find better value and better meals elsewhere along...

We had a lovely experience at Carlton Beach Club in Cannes, a refined and elegant spot located right on the beach, with unbeatable views and a luxurious yet relaxed atmosphere.

The food and service were both excellent. The menu isn’t vast, as you’d expect from more exclusive venues, but it’s well curated and focused on quality. We ordered the pesto pasta and half chicken for mains, both beautifully prepared, before sharing a dessert right by the sea.

Service was attentive without being intrusive. I was unsure what to drink, and after a quick chat with our server about my preferences, I was recommended a glass of champagne, which turned out to be the perfect choice. Their suggestions were spot on throughout.

If you want to stay and enjoy the beach loungers but aren’t a hotel guest, there is a surcharge per sunbed, around €30 each from memory, so worth bearing in mind if you’re planning to spend the afternoon. That said, it’s an ideal place to relax for a special treat or beachside lunch. Highly recommended booking in advance, as you’d expect it gets very busy as priority is given to hotel guests.

The overall bill came to around €100–€150 for two people, including two mains, one dessert to share, and drinks. For the location, quality, and service, we found it to be very fair value and would...
