Notre Histoire

listen to our story

Once upon a time, in the heart of the Suquet, the oldest and most picturesque district of Cannes, a place hidden behind a discreet facade... A garden, out of time, born from the crazy dream of creating a bohemian refuge in the city, where we would come to meet, laugh, share, create, taste, listen, marvel.
 

Le Jardin Secret opened its doors in 2012. Imagined and shaped by Max, it quickly became more than just a restaurant or tapas bar: a place to live. Every detail told a story – from lovingly-curled furniture to candle holders bursting with molten wax, and climbing plants embracing the walls. A moving, lively and inspired décor. A warm, friendly atmosphere where you felt at home from the first moment.

A bohemian soul, a kitchen of the heart

The Secret Garden vibrated to the rhythm of its generous, sincere and joyful cuisine. Plates to share, quality products, a touch of improvisation... and especially the paw of Nana, the passionate cook who imagined every day homemade dishes with simplicity and love. Here, we did not read the map as in a classic restaurant: we let ourselves be guided, surprised, tempted. The famous “snack for the undecided” was the perfect illustration — a playful formula where the menu was composed according to the inspiration of the day... and the contents of the fridge!

But The Secret Garden was not just about what was on the plate. It also beat to the rhythm of art and culture. Ephemeral exhibitions dressed the walls, local artists came to put their colors, their words, their dreams. Unusual events, such as brunches in pyjamas or theme nights, were all about the imagination and freedom. The place was constantly evolving, according to the seasons, meetings, crazy ideas.

 

2025: a new era, true to the spirit of the beginnings

After thirteen years of effervescence and sharing open to the public, a desire was born: to give back to the place an even more intimate dimension, more confidential, more precious. In 2025, Le Jardin Secret chose to turn an important page of its history.

Today, it is no longer a restaurant in the classical sense. The Secret Garden has become a private event space, entirely dedicated to tailor-made experiences. Intimate weddings, exceptional dinners, photo shoots, secret vernissages, artistic residences, extraordinary celebrations... Each moment is thought of as a unique creation, shaped according to the desires and dreams of those who reserve it.

The garden, always as bewitching, is more than ever the beating heart of these suspended moments.

A well-kept secret

This place is no longer discovered by chance. It does not appear, it murmurs. It is not visited, it is lived. It is a separate address, sheltered from the noise of the world, which is shared as a precious secret among initiates.

The Secret Garden is an experience. An atmosphere. A memory to create.

What if it was yours?
