A screenplay of a menu at La Palme d'Or
A Michelin star, the Hôtel Martinez and a dining room shaped by the golden age of Riviera cinema.
Dinner with Cannes cinema in the room.
La Palme d'Or brings together the glamour of the Hôtel Martinez with a dining room shaped by the history of the festival outside its doors. Chef Jean Imbert's cooking stays close to the Mediterranean, drawing on the sea and the produce of Provence, while the room gives the evening a sense of occasion from the moment you sit down.
Cannes cinema, woven into the details.
Film props and posters line the walls, creating a tribute to the city's cinematic history without turning the room into a set. The menu is part of the story too, printed like a screenplay and illustrated with storyboards. Beyond the terrace, the Mediterranean completes the picture.
The sea and Provence, side by side.
Wild gamberoni from the Gulf of Genoa, barbecued John Dory with rocket pesto and shellfish cooked in a sealed casserole with local vegetables keep Jean Imbert's cooking firmly rooted in its surroundings. It is a Michelin-starred kitchen that lets the ingredients and technique speak for themselves.
Give it the whole evening.
La Palme d'Or is made for an occasion rather than a quick dinner between plans. Settle in, take your time with the menu and let the evening unfold at its own pace. By dessert, the Croisette is glittering below and the sea has become almost indistinguishable from the night beyond it.
