Le Louis XV - Alain Ducasse

Cuisine: Mediterranean, Distinction: 3 Michelin Stars

Hotel de Paris Monte Carlo's Le Louis XV declares itself as the 'most prestigious restaurant in Monaco' and is inspired by the Riviera and la dolce vita. Specializing in haute Mediterranean cuisine, Le Louis XV was the first hotel eatery to gain three Michelin Stars. That is a testament to its talented chefs Alain Ducasse, Emmanuel Pilon, and Sandro Micheli. In addition, high-profile chefs such as Massimo Bottura, Alexis Gauthier, and Clare Smyth honed their skills at Le Louis XV before going on to manage the kitchens of other world-class restaurants.

Using only the finest local ingredients to prepare its dishes, Le Louis XV is famous worldwide as a place for fine dining in Europe.

In addition to its cuisine, it is also well-known for being home to a large wine cellar housing over 350,000 bottles of wine.

Le Grill

On the 8th floor of Hotel de Paris Monte Carlo, Le Grill is run by Dominic Lory. Chef Lory worked with Alain Ducasse at Le Louis XV for a decade before bringing his unique culinary vision to Le Grill.

Blending both traditional and modern cuisine, Le Grill, as the name suggests, specializes in grilled seafood and meat, with some surprise additions to your plate. Whether you decide to have lunch or dinner here, you will be treated to delightful cuisine with brilliant presentation.

L'Abysse Monte-Carlo

Perhaps the sign of an extraordinary chef is being able to master the craft of delivering palate-pleasing dishes of any kind. In that case, you have to tip your hat off to chef Yannick Alléno as he joins forces with Naoki Kikuchi to deliver Michelin-worthy Japanese dining at L'Abysse Monte-Carlo.

Adopting the Gyotaku technique, used by Japanese fishermen hoping to keep the memory of their prized catch, sushi lovers owe it to themselves to stop by to experience what happens when you fuse Japanese cooking methods with Mediterranean allure.

Visionary Martinique chef Marcel Ravin built a solid reputation for blending Caribbean and Mediterranean flavors into a fusion that appeals to diners' senses. Fresh fruits and vegetables are sourced from the hotel's organic kitchen, and the fish on the menu always complies with the Mr Goodfish charter.

The eatery offers 'The 5 Elements Ritual,' a multi-course exploration every Wednesday in early fall. Each meal combines an element, a season, and an emotion in what can be described as a creative culinary voyage.
