There are different types and even sizes of restaurants in Cannes offering different meals and drinks. The restaurants range from French, Thai, Italian, to Chinese. Either they may specialize in cuisine from the proprietor’s country of origin or they may specialize in certain types of dishes that are not from their country of origin. The drinks could also be from a particular country or they could be a mix of both French and international brands.
Another way they differentiate themselves is specific decor themes for their target markets. There are themes based on certain eras, certain characters from movies or TV or even from certain professions. It is not uncommon to find restaurants that are themed on the space age, the digital age, or even actresses like Audrey Hepburn. Others are themed on movies like Breakfast at Tiffany’s or E.T. The theme of the restaurant is determined by its target market. The decor in terms of seating arrangement and lighting also go a long way towards attracting the desired clientele.
The theme and category of the restaurant go hand in hand with its location. As an example, a restaurant that is focused on business meetings and conferences is most likely going to be situated more in land as opposed to one that is targeting clubbers, teenagers, or children.
