The Gambetta Americane Frite in Cannes is, believe it or not, a favorite of ours. Never mind the bizarre name (we can’t decide if it should have been “American Fries” or “Frites Américaines”), but the owners of this take-out stand make the absolute best jambon-beurre (and if you think that “ham sandwich” is a good enough translation, think again). They also make the best Greek salad, or so I’m told: since I don’t eat cheese, Greek salads are not something I indulge in, but if it is anywhere as good as the salade niçoise they make (without the anchovies, please), then I can vouch for it. Above all, you get excellent value for your euro: more than generous servings and top quality ingredients. It just goes to show that one shouldn’t judge a book by its cover...
