Sass Café
Inconspicuously located on Avenue Princesse Grace opposite the Grimaldi Forum, Sass Café offers patrons quintessentially fine French cuisine served in opulent, velvet upholstered surroundings. Be sure to stay late; the supper club gradually transforms into a hedonistic dance party that lasts well into the night. Patrons on regular weeknights include Prince Albert of Monaco, Brad Pitt, Bono and Kate Moss.
Beefbar
Led by chef Thierry Paludetto, Beef Bar serves only the best cuts of beef from every corner of the globe. The space features elegant architecture, a laidback atmosphere and breathtaking views of Fontvielle Port. Certain to satisfy the carnivore in every patron.
Chateau EZA
A truly one of a kind dining establishment, this Michelin-starred restaurant serves exquisite eight-course French menus by Chef Axel Wagner. The dining room is located at the top of a millennium-old village featuring sprawling views of the Mediterranean and French Riviera.
Yoshi, Hotel Metropole
Located in Monaco’s prestigious Hotel Metropole, Yoshi offers patrons cool and minimalist interiors designed by Didier Gomez. This restaurant is Jöel Robuchon’s first Japanese establishment with a menu that features a wide variety of Maki, Sushi and Sashimi. Robuchon himself says of Yoshi, “One comes here by curiosity, is enticed by the products’ quality, meets there for pleasure!”
Cipriani Monte Carlo
Located in the prestigious building Le Mirabeau, Cipriani Monte Carlo features an ultramodern glass façade, minimalist interiors with mahogany walls, polished steel and signature Cipriani leather chairs. Boasting an atmosphere akin to a luxury yacht, the nautical theme is reflected in the fine Italian cuisine.
