The 3 must-try restaurants in Monaco

Louis XV, the gastronomic restaurant

The Louis XV is the gastronomic restaurant of the Hotel de Paris, run since 1987 by the virtuoso Alain Ducasse. The only restaurant in the Principality to have been awarded three stars in the Michelin Guide, this institution has won countless awards for its unique and extraordinary dining experience. At the Louis XV, chefs Alain Ducasse and Emmanuel Pilon pay tribute to the senses and taste of the Riviera.

The Louis XV skilfully combines traditional service with a modern menu that is constantly evolving. The complicity of the two chefs is no stranger to this. While the menu changes with the seasons, the common thread remains the natural cuisine that is the signature of master chef Alain Ducasse.

The Louis XV offers culinary flights of fancy and a truly exceptional experience. Local produce and flavors are celebrated here, and Ducasse always offers dishes whose exacting tastes overwhelm every guest.

Here, food and wine pairings sublimate the experience, and head sommelier Maxime Pastor will be delighted to offer you his selection from one of the 350,000 bottles that adorn the Hôtel de Paris’s 3,500 m² stunning cellar.

Not to mention the unbeatable location of the Louis XV restaurant, on the square in front of the legendary Casino de Monte Carlo.

Coya, the exotic restaurant

A Peruvian restaurant in Monaco is the challenge that the creator of the Coya brand, chef Sanjay Dwivedi, is taking up in 2017. Coya embodies the beginnings of a new generation of restaurants in Monaco.

At Coya, the spices are as much in the colorful plates as they are in the atmosphere. Guests can dine and/or dance there.

It is above the mythical Sporting that Coya teams set down their suitcases, and the shimmering colors of the decoration complete a breathtaking view of the Mediterranean.

Venezuelan chef Victoria Vallenilla is at the helm of the kitchen, delivering Peruvian cuisine with hints of Asian gastronomy. The result is delicate, healthy dishes such as atún chifa (yellowfin tuna ceviche, soya, sesame seeds, prawn chips) or Causa Frita con Queso Crema y Caviar (crispy Peruvian causa, nori cream, Kristal caviar). Sweet tooths are not forgotten, and the desserts on offer are just as appetizing. Of particular note is the Taco al Coco (coconut parfait, quinoa, coconut ice cream), which is sure to make your dinner a real treat.

At Coya, you can savor the dishes’ exoticism in a friendly atmosphere, so it is only natural that Coya was quickly adopted by Monegasques and travelers alike. Try it out for yourself!

Yoshi, the Asian restaurant

Yoshi is the fruit of the countless culinary journeys of master Joël Robuchon. It is the only Japanese Michelin-starred table of the Robuchon brand. The venue is so popular that a Michelin star was awarded in 2010 to celebrate the teams’ commitment and the quality of the culinary proposals of this Japanese restaurant located in the sublime Métropole Monte Carlo Hotel.

At Yoshi, guests can take their taste buds on a journey in a sober and chic setting designed by interior architect Didier Gomez. The decoration is designed to be soothing, with green, white and ivory tones, and materials reminiscent of Japan; stone, silk, ebony, all embellished with a Japanese-inspired garden as soon as you enter this Asian land.

Joël Robuchon entrusted Yoshi to chef Takeo Yamazaki, who has risen to the challenge and continued the adventure over the years.
The Japanese culinary art is perfectly respected, and the Ise Ebi rock lobster, a lobster soup with kombu consommé, is the purest example. For meat lovers, Hire Niku, a wagyu filet with shiso crushed potatoes, will tantalize your taste buds. The precise and marvelous culinary experience here is sublimated by the attentions of the staff.
