The restaurant of the emblematic Hôtel Martinez, luxurious realm of the stars during the Cannes Film Festival, is a vibrant tribute to cinema, one of chef Jean Imbert's passions. With wood panelling that wouldn't be out of place on a yacht in the golden age of Hollywood, the decor is overflowing with authentic film props and posters. The menu is written like a screenplay, illustrated with storyboards. Under the guidance of Imbert, chef Christophe Nannoni, a mainstay of the place for over a decade, works closely with pastry chef Loïc Voron (Cheval Blanc St-Barth). The sea and Provence are the two stars of the show here – they provide ingredients that feature in dishes that never fail to pique the interest: wild gamberoni from the Gulf of Genoa, mango and kumquat sauce vierge; barbecued and glazed John Dory, rocket pesto, shellfish cooked in a sealed casserole pot and local vegetables; vanilla palmier made to order. Lights, camera, action!
