Savour the finest
cuisine in the Principality’s best restaurants, or charm your palate by tasting
some traditional Monegasque specialities.
Settle in at the Port Palace (****) for this sweet
escape among Monegasque scents and flavours. After arriving in the morning,
have a pleasant, tasty lunch at La Marée restaurant on the hotel rooftop, for a
memorable moment not only facing the Mediterranean but also finding it in your
plate. Then, take a nice walk to world-famous Place du Casino and the new One Monte Carlo district, and stop at Mada One to sample some of their famous Mad’Champagne
Tea.
At the Yoshi restaurant (1-star) with its rare Japanese
cuisine, rewarded with a Michelin star, you can enjoy dining in the cosy
atmosphere devised by the architect Didier Gomez. Founded by Joël Robuchon who
said of the restaurant: One comes here by curiosity, is enticed by the
products’ quality and meets there for pleasure. For the final touch, let
yourself be tempted by an after-dinner drink or a glass of wine at the Wine
Palace, at the Yacht Club de Monaco, just across from your hotel.
At Cova, you will delight in a refined
breakfast served in a private ‘lounge’ atmosphere. For the sake of gastronomy, you
won’t want to miss the traditional La Condamine market where, under the red and
yellow parasols, you can see, smell and touch fresh products on the stands of market
gardeners who have been coming here for centuries. As you go along, you won’t want
to resist sampling local specialities: Barbajuan, Pissaladière and Socca. This market is where Monaco’s oldest fishermen’s family sell
their fresh fish, you can also savour, beautifully prepared, for lunch at the U
Luvassu restaurant.
You can further pursue your day of gustatory
exploration at La Chocolaterie de Monaco, chocolate makers since 1920, official
suppliers of the Prince’s Palace, and bring back a fine box bearing the
Principality’s colours. At the Tea Shop, you can take a break by sampling one
of the 130 teas from the world over available à la carte and why not take your favourite home with you? Or let
yourself be charmed by the pleasure of children’s candies at Sweet Therapy where
you can admire the display of artistic compositions made with sugary delights.
And you will end up at Ômer, the latest born of
Chef Alain Ducasse’s tables, to discover Mediterranean and Oriental creations
devised by the world’s most star-studded Chef. There, facing a majestic wine cellar, Meze combines with Souvlaki alongside patatas bravas in a concert of all Mediterranean cuisines. You will
end your stay on the beach of the Méridien Beach Plaza (****), at the
Balinese-style Alang Bar, sipping a delectable cocktail with your feet in the
sand.
