Monte-Carlo glitters as ever and the Michelin stars also sparkle above the restaurants thanks to world-class cuisine. With new, modern and sustainable gourmet concepts, as well as a total of seven stars in the Guide Michelin, the Monegasque houses can boast.
Restaurant Elsa with wild fishing on Monte-Carlo-Beach
Elsa at the Hotel Monte-Carlo Beach is a pioneer in “locavore” gastronomy and focuses on local products. Here, 36-year-old chef Mélanie Serre conjures up generous and flavorful dishes using local ingredients. The chef, who hails from the Ardèche region, stands for regional cuisine rooted in French tradition. The Elsa restaurant was already recognized as an organic restaurant by Ecocert in 2013 and is now a so-called “locavore” restaurant with wild-caught fish. Mélanie Serre focuses on the product, the harmony of flavors and colors, with generosity and without ostentation. A resolutely modern vision of gastronomy that finds its meaning in simplicity and a confident strength of taste.

Le Blue Bay – Marcel Ravins 2-star cuisine
Marcel Ravin’s creativity and craftsmanship were rewarded with a second Michelin star last year.

The chef works with startup Terre de Monaco, which manages urban and organic fruit and vegetable gardens, as well as produce from “Le Jardin des Antipodes” in Menton. Guests enjoy dishes on the panoramic terrace, redesigned by interior designer Alexandra Saguet, overlooking the sea.
Marcel Ravin’s signature dish and desert: organic chicken egg, truffled cassava and passion fruit // Chocolate/passion fruit score with cocoa bean & passion fruit texture.
