La Palme d'Or

Why we recommend La Palme d’Or in Cannes

We keep La Palme d’Or on the short list of Cannes dining rooms worth a standalone night rather than a squeezed-in pre-club meal. Michelin-aware Côte d’Azur dining with Film Festival clientele. Outside Las Vegas, MyRSVP focuses on nightclub and pool-club bookings rather than restaurant reservations, so this page is written as a city guide: the room and its point of view, the menu cues, the practical timing, and the fastest way to reserve your own table. Use it alongside a MyRSVP nightlife or pool booking to stack the full evening.

What to expect in the room and on the menu

Chef Jean Imbert’s La Palme d’Or opened in May 2024 within the storied Hôtel Martinez at 73 Boulevard de la Croisette, instantly establishing itself as Cannes’ premier gastronomic address. The dining room, designed by Rémi Tessier, channels 1960s maritime glamour through a Christina O yacht aesthetic—vintage film posters, signed scripts, and a Palme d’Or-shaped chandelier set the cinematic tone throughout. The seafood-centric menu reflects Riviera sensibilities: Wild Gamberoni with mango and kumquat sauce, grilled John Dory with rocket pesto, and barbecued Langouste exemplify Imbert’s Mediterranean approach. The restaurant operates Tuesday–Friday for dinner (7:00 p.m.–10:00 p.m.) and Saturday for lunch and dinner service. Pricing runs €130–€250 per person. Most critically: La Palme d’Or hosts the Cannes Film Festival jury dinner, making it the season’s most sought reservation. Expect Mediterranean views from the seafront setting and a VIP-focused service model calibrated for high-profile gatherings. Tables book weeks in advance; prime seating near windows or in the central dining area fills fastest during festival season.

Reservations — how to book La Palme d’Or

What we tell guests about La Palme d’Or: it is one of the Cannes rooms worth a standalone evening rather than a squeezed-in pre-dinner. The reservation itself is handled directly with the restaurant — through their own site, OpenTable, Resy, SevenRooms, or by phone — depending on how they run their book. If you can get into the chef’s counter, bar seats, or a tasting menu slot, those are often the fastest way into the version of the room regulars are actually there for. For private dining or larger-group enquiries, the restaurant’s events or reservations team is the right first call, not a generic booking channel.

Hours, dress, and planning windows

The planning layer for La Palme d’Or: hours on-page, dress code posted on the restaurant’s own site, and a reservation window that tightens with Cannes’s calendar. May (Festival de Cannes) and the July–August high-season window, especially around Festival de Cannes, yacht-tender arrivals at Quai Laubeuf, is when the book closes first. If the main dining room is full, ask the restaurant about chef’s counter, bar seats, or a tasting-menu slot — they frequently open doors the standard OpenTable flow does not surface.
