More Than a Concept, It's a Veritable Institution: An Essential Venue for Monegasques.

Café de Paris Monte-Carlo reopens on Place du Casino following a 19-month refurbishment effort. Café de Paris Monte-Carlo, which debuted in the same spot as the first "Le Café Divan" in 1868 and is now a Monte-Carlo institution, epitomises the traditional brasserie ethos that has survived the vagaries of fashion by always adapting to the tastes of the times.

The famous brasserie in the Principality has been given a second story and a new terrace with breathtaking views over the Casino de Monte-Carlo and Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo. By Spring 2024, not only will the building's stores have opened for business, but so will the rooftop's new Amazonico Monte-Carlo restaurant.

The transformation of the historic core of Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer, which began in 2014, is now complete with the addition of the new Café de Paris Monte-Carlo. Previous phases of the project included the renovation of the Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo, the development of the One Monte-Carlo district, the construction of the new Casino de Monte-Carlo facilities, and the redesign of the Jardins des Boulingrins and Place du Casino.

The newly renovated building features three stories: two for the Café de Paris brasserie and one for Amazonico Monte-Carlo, a worldwide concept of joyful dining that is set to launch in the spring of 2019. Allée François Blanc, Avenue des Spélugues, and the Casino Gardens will also be the sites of the grand openings of stores for Chopard, Arije, Tag Heuer, and Tiffany & Co. The Casino Café de Paris, which has remained open during the renovation, will provide a new, more private entrance for its patrons at the start of 2024.

Alexandre Giraldi, a Monegasque architect, and Alain-Charles Perrot, the Chief Architect for Historic Monuments, have been leading this massive real estate development project under the supervision of Luc Leroy, the Director of Construction and Building Heritage.

French brasserie classics are reimagined in all their delectable simplicity at the new Café de Paris Monte-Carlo. All guests will soon savour this new chapter for Café de Paris Monte-Carlo, with its new and unique view over Place du Casino from the upstairs terrace and the addition of a sommelier, new experiences all day long, whether in bistro or restaurant mode, at a table or countertop, in the lounge bar, or in the open air.

On the first level, an enlarged Art Nouveau design creates a chic bistro ambiance that is open to locals and visitors alike. All the basic norms of French brasserie are reunited, with a special focus on lighting, including restored antique stained-glass windows, chequered marble, terrazzo mosaics, leather and wood panelling, and colours of green, pastel pink, and burgundy. The room's focal point is a massive zinc counter that has been painstakingly constructed just under the room's imposing chandelier. It's a perfect spot to unwind with a drink and a bite to eat since the new snack menu features fish from the resurgent "banc de l'écailler." In the middle of all the commotion on Place du Casino, the unforgettable experience continues on the terrace.

The upstairs has a classy, quiet ambiance with warm colours, parquet floors, and tablecloths. The perfect spot for a business lunch, date night, group supper, or social gathering before a night at the opera It continues on to the venue's second significant new feature, a 200-m2 terrace that views out over the renowned Place du Casino and has a bar with soft curves.

David Collins Studio, an architecture and interior design firm, has reimagined the brasserie's vibe.

Café de Paris Monte-Carlo pulls out all the stops with a team working around Eric Gorjux, who became head of this Monegasque institution in January 2022. Victor Marion, who started out a few years ago at Hôtel Hermitage Monte-Carlo, oversees the kitchen. "Café de Paris Monte-Carlo is a Parisian brasserie in the land of the Mediterranean", says the Chef, going on to specify: "While ensuring the continuity of this great culinary history, we will be working closely with local producers and introducing more seasonality and movement to the menu."

Cafe classics such as French onion soup, leeks in gribiche sauce, pâté en croute, eggs mayonnaise with a dash of caviar, and millefeuille monté minute may be found on the menu. The Crêpe Suzette, flambéed in front of diners at the first Café de Paris in 1896 during a visit by the Prince of Wales, is the restaurant's most renowned dish.

Nol Bajor, previously of Louis XV–Alain Ducasse à l'Hôtel de Paris, has joined the team as the restaurant's first sommelier, and he will impart his knowledge with the help of six other sommeliers. Twenty bartenders will oversee the three bars serving up innovative cocktails for patrons of varying palates.
