Brazen seagull steals $100 gourmet fillet from couple in Cannes — Hilarious video goes viral

A video capturing the woman’s reaction went viral online and was even featured on U.S. news broadcasts

Newsroom August 21 07:46

An incredible incident occurred in Cannes, where a seagull snatched a $100 fillet from a table at a luxury restaurant, leaving the dining couple stunned. While it’s not uncommon for birds to steal food from tourists, this “attack” stood out because the victim wasn’t a snack or a bread roll, but a high-end gourmet dish.

The couple was enjoying their meal at the well-known La Guérite restaurant when the seagull dove straight onto their table, leaving only shock and… screams behind. The woman, who had her phone recording the moment, unintentionally captured the unbelievable event on video.

The video of her reaction quickly went viral online and was even aired on American news programs. On her personal YouTube channel, where she posted clips from their trip, she humorously commented that their fillet had been taken by an “eagle.”

The restaurant manager immediately replaced the missing dish, ensuring the couple could continue their meal without further incidents.
