When summer comes around, there’s nowhere quite like Monaco. The Principality truly knows how to make the very most of the long days and balmy evenings, delicious heat, and wall-to-wall sunshine, with a whole host of exclusive concept bars and restaurants, designed to make every moment of your stay an unforgettable experience.

Monte-Carlo Beach

Starting with the Monte-Carlo Beach, where you’ll find a real gem tucked away inside. Following its huge success in Ibiza each of the last three summers, Jondal is coming to La Vigie from 21 June, promising a divine blend of elegance, serenity, and Mediterranean flavours.

The glamorous and modern hotel is also home to Le Deck, which is set to reopen on 14 April.  The summer brasserie is popular with guests for its vast terrace with panoramic views, friendly atmosphere, and of course the menu packed with mouth-watering seasonal flavours.

If you have a taste for some of the finest dining to be found on the planet, you’ll want to book a table at Elsa, which earned one star in the 2025 Michelin Guide.  Overlooking the Mediterranean, the restaurant managed by top chef Marcel Ravin can be found at the Monte-Carlo Beach, serving up dishes inspired by the marine world, beautifully balancing delights from the sea with terrestrial treasures. The restaurant is due to reopen on 16 April. 

On the other side of the hotel, Monaco will be going Greek with Sea Satin at Maona Monte-Carlo from 16 May onwards. The party-style restaurant is known for its unique atmosphere with an energetic vibe, bouncing DJ sets, and generous Hellenic cuisine.

 

Coya

With its fusion cuisine and enchanting setting, Coya Monte-Carlo takes diners on a voyage to the heart of Latin America.  Chef Victoria Vallenilla’s menu explores the best of Peruvian flavours, with dishes made using an exciting blend of Japanese, Chinese, and Spanish culinary techniques.  You can experience the restaurant’s lively and colourful vibe from April to October.
