Zuma needs little introduction. The global Japanese dining brand has outposts from London to Dubai, Mykonos to Rome and Cannes is its first permanent home in France. After closing for the winter, it reopened its doors at Palm Beach in February, and we went along to see if it had lost any of its shine. It hadn’t.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The setting does a lot of the work before you’ve even sat down. Arriving at Palm Beach in the evening, the floodlit Art Deco rotunda at the tip of the Croisette peninsula, the sea on either side is genuinely impressive. It’s one of those addresses on the C\u00f4te d’Azur that carries real history, and the building wears it well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inside, the restaurant features floor-to-ceiling windows and a robata open kitchen that offers a theatrical glimpse into the cooking process. The interior, imagined by Zuma’s longtime collaborator Noriyoshi Muramatsu, maintains the brand’s signature bones while adding a Cannes twist, with shades of blue in the furnishings that nod to the Mediterranean just beyond the glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were there on a Wednesday evening, which meant the room was calm and unhurried. The mood lighting pitched everything perfectly low and warm, genuinely romantic without feeling overdone. Background music was well-chosen and kept the atmosphere alive without ever competing with conversation. On a quieter night, you get to appreciate the space properly, and Zuma Cannes rewards that attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
