A Thai restaurant on rue Bivouac Napoléon, behind the Palais des Festivals and a short walk from the old port. One of the highest-rated tables in central Cannes on Google — listed here from the public record, with what we'd check before going.
Chaï Dee is a Thai restaurant at 17 rue Bivouac Napoléon, in the middle of Cannes — and the numbers are hard to ignore: 4.7 on Google across more than 1,500 reviews. Very few tables in the centre hold a rating that high on that volume, and that combination is the single strongest public signal we have on it.
We list it for that record rather than from a meal of our own (see below). The listed budget sits in the €20–30 range, which places it in the accessible middle of central Cannes rather than the Croisette bracket. The Google listing also shows a Zenchef booking system, so reserving ahead appears to be the expected route.
Rue Bivouac Napoléon runs through central Cannes just behind the Palais des Festivals, a few minutes on foot from the old port. It's a street you cross without meaning to when you're moving between the Palais and the harbour — which makes it convenient before or after an evening at the Palais, and busy in season for exactly the same reason.
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 hours: the listing shows a split service, roughly noon–2.30pm and 6.30pm–10.30pm Monday to Saturday and closed Sunday, but that afternoon gap is exactly the kind of detail that shifts — a phone call settles it. We'd also book ahead given the review volume, and check the current menu against the €20–30 band.
The public reviews come back often to the service, the waiting staff, the cocktails and the terrace — that's what people write about, not our verdict. We'll add our own verified notes after a visit. For now, the rating, the price band and the location are the honest signals.
