Whenever your travels bring you to Cannes, regardless of the season, you are guaranteed an exquisite dining experience at some of the globe's most prestigious Michelin-starred establishments. Nestled along the shoreline, Cannes is privileged with an abundant fresh seafood supply directly sourced from its azure waters. Equally, these culinary temples benefit immensely from the proximity to regional farms, ensuring a continuous bounty of fresh fruits and vegetables, enhancing every dish with the vibrant flavors of the locale. Fragrant spices like basil, thyme, and rosemary are found in many Mediterranean dishes, along with the finest olive oils.

We have highlighted three extraordinary Michelin-starred restaurants in Cannes, each elevating fine dining to the celestial heights while you’re there for the film festival.

LA PALME D'OR **

If we had to choose one restaurant most closely associated with Cannes, it would have to be La Palme d’Or. Located within the Hotel Martinez on La Croisette, this is one of the most iconic restaurants on the French Riviera. Boasting two Michelin stars, this esteemed restaurant becomes a magnet for A-listers throughout the Cannes Film Festival. Chef Christian Sinicropi has brought a new culinary experience to La Palme d’Or with a cube-form menu based on movement and the desire to explore new worlds in cuisine. You’ll indulge in cuisine that is both innovative and audacious, marked by rich and bold flavors. The Vegetal Movement unfolds as a dialogue between artist Steph Cop and ceramicist Catherine Sinicropi, paired with culinary origins that present three savory dishes and one dessert. Next, the Movement of Flavors and Fragrances offers a refined exploration with subtle nuances, featuring four savory and two sweet courses. Another variation of Flavors and Fragrances complements this with pronounced nuances, bringing together one savory and two sweet dishes. Finally, the Immersion of Movements takes guests on a progressive culinary adventure with seven savory and two sweet courses, each layering flavors with increasing complexity.

VILLA ARCHANGE **

Famous Chef Bruno Oger is the famous chef at Villa Archange. Dining in an 18th-century villa sets you up for the delectable offerings from an applauded chef. Wooden floors, original artwork and stylish furniture contribute to the restaurant’s understated elegance. This fine dining establishment – which has two Michelin stars – is well worth a visit during your stay while attending the Cannes Festival 2024.

If you are a real gastronomic aficionado, let yourself be tempted by Oger’s surprise nine-course meal. Or choose to enjoy à la carte dishes such as pan-fried Groix Island abalone with regional artichokes or turbot with celery, shallots and walnuts.

After enjoying Canne’s finest restaurants, recuperate at the luxury retreat Villa Tamarsha. Located in the hills of the district of Californie, the secluded residence offers a panoramic view of the city as well as the glittering sea. The impressive residence has six stylish bedrooms which can accommodate up to 12 guests. The superbly designed villa offers a state-of-the-art hammam and massage room perfect for relaxing after a day of enjoying Canne’s exquisite restaurants. You can spend hours of fun in the captivating game room adorned by authentic Alex Monopoly wall art. Recreate the delicious meals in the fully equipped chef’s kitchen while your cherished wines are kept in the spacious wine cellar. The peacefully secluded villa is surrounded by a professionally landscaped garden filled with lush foliage. Here you will also find a pool house, modern infinity edge pool and jacuzzi, where you can relax in the sun and enjoy the view of the city, hillside and shimmering sea. 

Nestled within the emblematic splendor of Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc, the Louroc restaurant represents the ultimate in fine dining. It is a sanctuary where impeccable service, exquisite tableware crafted predominantly by local Provençal artisans, mesmerizing views of the Mediterranean, and the culinary genius of Chef Sébastien Broda converge to create an unparalleled dining experience. The restaurant prides itself on a pantry brimming with the freshest of produce, meticulously sourced from the hotel’s own verdant kitchen garden and esteemed local cultivators, alongside sustainably caught fish and custom-selected meats. This homage to Mediterranean cuisine is artfully reflected in harmoniously crafted dishes such as the delicately stuffed baby squid paired with fresh almond and a cod velouté embellished with sweet garlic; the robust scorpion fish accompanied by confit courgette flowers, braised fennel, and a rich bouillabaisse jus; and the sumptuously braised saddle of Alpilles lamb served with tromboncino squash, peppery nasturtiums, and a refined mint oil jus. Each offering at Louroc is a poetic celebration of the Mediterranean’s bounty, presented amidst the timeless elegance of one of the Riviera’s most legendary establishments.
