Not only is La Palme d’Or the highest accolade awarded at the Cannes Film Festival, it’s also a classic French Riviera restaurant not to be missed – if you’ve got deep enough pockets. As the only restaurant in Cannes with two Michelin stars, you know you’re in for a treat. Housed on the first floor of the glamorous Hôtel Martinez and overlooking the glitz La Croisette, bag a seat on the terrace to enjoy dazzling views of the bay, served alongside the executive chef, Christian Sinicropi’s Provençal dishes.

On the first floor of one of Cannes’ poshest hotels, the Martinez has long been the town’s finest dining experience. It closed after the 2023 Cannes Film Festival, and re-opened in a new guise in spring 2024, and with a new chef. Jean Imbert (late of the Plaza Athénée in Paris) has taken over from Christian Sinicropi, so the menus have once again become comprehensible – Mr Sinicropi was legendary for his enigmatic descriptions of the eating experience.

Ultimately, Ducasse’s cooking announced a fresh gastronomic era on the Côte d’Azur and paved the way for a new idiom of southern French luxury cooking based on an ethereal simplicity, one which sought to enhance rather than transform the natural tastes of the assiduously-sourced produce it was based on. My two favourite restaurants on the Côte d’Azur offer perfect examples of this style and philosophy: Mauro Colagreco’s Mirazur in Menton and Gérald Passedat’s Le Petit Nice in Marseille. For sure, there are some Côte d’Azur restaurants that still go for the magic-show drama of yore (La Vague d’Or in Saint-Tropez, which inexplicably has three Michelin stars, comes to mind), but most of the best tables now adhere to Ducasse’s format, either because their chefs were trained by him or because they know that this is how the world wants to eat these days.

Named after the top prize at the Cannes Film Festival, La Palme d'Or holds two Michelin stars and is headed by chef Christian Sinicropi. It's located on the mythical boardwalk known as La Croisette, within the Hotel Martinez, making it an ideal spot for a memorable lunch or dinner while people-watching and enjoying waterside perspectives. The artistic menus, known as mouvements (movements) are centered around salty and sweet themes, each built around a centerpiece dish or ingredient (lamb, pigeon, oysters, lobster, etc.) Produce and meats from trusted local suppliers form the heart of the concept, and this restaurant is especially noted for its creative—and beautiful—use of vegetables.

On the Boulevard de la Croisette, there are a number of luxurious restaurants that have welcomed many renowned personalities; La Palme d’Or is among these illustrious restaurants, with its two Michelin stars, the first obtained in 1986, then the second in 1991. At the pinnacle of gastronomy, La Palme d’Or restaurant, which takes its name from the famous award given at the Cannes Film Festival, has been located in the legendary Hotel Martinez for over 35 years. Under the direction of the great chef Christian Sinicropi since 2007, the place offers culinary compositions inspired by philosophy, nature, and artistic encounters for a true sensory experience.

Chef Christian Sinicropi invites you to his restaurant La Palme d'Or to experience a one-of-a-kind gastronomic adventure, starting with a menu presented in the form of a cube and applying the principle of "movement". “Movement” is a philosophy in which the product is understood in its continuous development and the desire to explore new territories of the kitchen. Depending on the theme and the chosen product - shrimp, oysters, lamb, pigeon, seafood, vegetables - the chef plays his waltz for three measures, paying special attention to the consistency of the product, its development over time and the ecology of its region.

La Croisette, as aforementioned, is bordered by numerous restaurants, of which La Palme D’Or (73, Boulevard de la Croisette (Hotel Martinez), telephone number (04) 9298 7414) is a genuine peak of what Cannes has to offer in terms of eating venues. Its wonderful Mediterranean dishes comply with the most demanding gastronomic standards, and the experience of a meal proper is complemented by the art deco indoor structures and decorations. It is highly frequented by celebrities during the Cannes Film Festival, which is enough of a reason for increasing the appeal of this restaurant to the large public.

I first met Sinicropi, who helms the only two-star Michelin restaurant in Cannes, La Palme d’Or, nine years ago, when he inherited the head chef position from his mentor, the much-awarded Christian Willier.

At that time, I was writing a story on Picasso’s creative period spent at Vallauris, near Cannes.
