The Café de Paris, Monaco’s iconic brasserie

Iconic figures of the cinema such as Frank Sinatra and Cary Grant, members of royal families, and magnates of industry all helped establish the international reputation of the Café de Paris.

An essential meeting place to see and be seen, it offers an unbeatable view over the Place du Casino and its daily spectacle of beautiful cars.

The building, with its stunning façade decorated with balustrades, has seen several transformations and renovations over the course of time. The latest, led by Alain-Charles Perrot, Head Architect of Historic Monuments, Alexandre Giraldi, and the interior design studio David Collins Studio, was completed in 2023.

On the menu, some of the dishes not to be missed include French onion soup, leeks in sauce ‘gribiche’ (mayonnaise with hard-boiled egg and capers), pâté en croute, eggs mayonnaise with a dash of caviar, mille-feuille, and more. But most especially, the crêpe Suzette, created at the Café de Paris in 1896, for a visit by the Prince of Wales, and flambéed at your table. “The Café de Paris in Monte-Carlo is a Parisian brasserie in a Mediterranean setting. We intend to continue this great culinary story, while working closely with local producers to introduce greater seasonality and more flexibility to the menu,” explains chef Victor Marion. The art of the Sommelier is another new feature, in the person of Noël Bajor, who is abandoning his post at the Louis XV-Alain Ducasse in the Hôtel de Paris.

The new Café de Paris will be extending its festive gastronomic offering with the opening in 2024 of the Amazonico concept, originally from Madrid, and already open in Dubai and London.
