Very confused that yelp isn't a bigger deal in France but I guess that makes sense? Currently on a…read moretrip around the southern coast of france and it's been quite lovely but also I don't particularly LOVE the food that I've had so I'm curious how it will keep progressing.
La Palme d'Or is named after the most famous award for the Cannes Film Festival and is inside the Hotel Martinez. It's honestly a beautiful spot and a tribute to the festival as a whole. I think in 2024 they lost their two michelin stars (couldn't find it on the guide), but in previous years, it was two michelin star place and the way they treat their food is uppercase F fancy.
We got the 3 course tasting menu (~$120 euros) which was definitely enough food. I will say, once again also not super wowed which is hilarious that someone else wrote this, especially compared to some other places that I've eaten that are also Michelin quality. The staff is REALLY kind and I will say the dining experience is definitely one of a kind (really fancy, the menus are typeset like scripts, it's just really beautiful).
If you're in Cannes and want an uppercase E experience, I definitely recommend (and also booking a reservation in advance) but other than that, if you're someone who loves traveling and good food you can miss it.
I will bias by saying that I personally love asian food / flavors and it was pretty lacking overall. The quality of the ingredients are stunning though
