The Café de Paris Monte-Carlo is an iconic place that blends traditional gastronomy and contemporary elegance. Located on the Casino Square, it offers a chic and timeless experience, combining history, prestige, and refined cuisine.
A must-visit destination, the Café de Paris Monte-Carlo envies the chic Parisian bistro-style restaurants worldwide. Situated on the famous Casino Square, it majestically stands out among the jewels of the Principality! Rich in history and iconic, it has been an emblem of timeless breaks and glamour for 155 years, making it a legendary spot!
Founded in 1868, the Café de Paris is Monaco’s first restaurant. The Société des Bains de Mer demanded a trendy and refined brasserie; “the best” of what was available in Paris. Unique, it quickly became the place to be seen! Celebrities, artists, residents, or tourists soak up the theatrical atmosphere it exudes: aristocracy and the pursuit of prestige.
To modernize and enhance this exceptional heritage, the Café de Paris has undergone six renovations! Real challenges and stakes to preserve its Belle Époque soul. Parisan brasserie spirit of the early 20th century meets contemporary style, the sophisticated decor is breathtaking: impressive chandeliers and central bar, stained glass, mosaics, marble, red leather banquettes, large bay windows…
To enjoy the sunny outdoors, two terraces overlook the bustling Casino Square and Hotel de Paris: the purring of prestigious cars, social parades, architecture… a live spectacle for the eyes! Added to this is a fashionable touch with luxury boutiques surrounding it, and a festive feel brought by the Amazónico restaurant, to dance the night away on its rooftop!
The Café de Paris is especially coveted for its gastronomy. In the kitchen, Chef Victor Marion creates emblematic and creative seasonal dishes. Hermitage Monte Carlo, Le Meurice Paris, Le Negresco… a remarkable journey as a sous-chef for exceptional dining tables. Here, he learned rigor, technicality, and the constant pursuit of recipes to achieve refined dishes… enriching experiences leading him to the position of Executive Chef!
On the “emblematic” plate? Barbagiuans, pâté en croûte, Burgundy snails, eggs “mayo” with caviar, calf liver, pot-au-feu bone marrow, andouillette mustard, cod a la grenobloise, sole meunière, gratin onion soup… recipes that are authentic and faithful to traditional brasserie cuisine that bring us back to the Belle Époque, to childhood and flavors that will remain unchanged! Not to forget the princely crepe flambéed with Grand Marnier: the crêpe Suzette!
On the “seasonal” plate? Soft truffled focaccia, Provence asparagus with citrus, creamy leeks with gribiche sauce, vegan quinoa with mango and raw vegetables, ribeye with chimichurri, sea bream with mild spices, lobster pasta, fruit pavlova… recipes inspired by seasonality and innovation.
The wine cellar of the Hôtel de Paris boasts the largest in the world with 5,500 references of prestigious and sought-after bottles. The brasserie thus offers an exceptional variety for both connoisseurs and enthusiasts.
Le Café de Paris Monte Carlo is an institution where the time for a coffee, lunch, or dinner transforms into a gourmet, chic, and lively scene. Accessible, the gastronomy of Chef Victor Marion with flavors from the past and present, as well as attentive service, promise a convivial moment of enjoyment.
