Warm up those chilly winter afternoons with a delightful spot of tea in the Principality.
There are so many cafés, tea rooms and hotels to choose from, each with
its own unique atmosphere. Here’s a little taster of some of the best places in
Monaco to get out of the cold, and settle down comfortably with a cup of
freshly brewed tea, and perhaps even some scrumptious cakes and pastries:
Stop by the Mada One, an oasis of calm and impeccable food nestled among the gleaming towers
of the One Monte-Carlo complex and the palm trees. Choose from a selection of
hot drinks and fine pastries, as you bask in the winter sun shining through the
big bay windows.
For the perfect cosy fireside ambience, the winter terrace at the Columbus Monte-Carlo is the place to go. With its “brasero” winter concept, the Columbus
offers the perfect cocooning experience for those crisp afternoons.
One name, two different locations and two very different vibes. Choose
the COVA to suit your mood! Head to the Cova on Boulevard des Moulins, next
door to the bustling Monte-Carlo district, for a gourmet experience in a highly
refined setting.
Alternatively, make your way over to Larvotto by the beach, and settle
down for tea in the sunshine as you savour the views of the promenade and the
sea.
Enjoy a “haute-couture” teatime at the MetCafé! Beneath the magnificent chandeliers of the Métropole Shopping Centre,
settle down into one of the plush armchairs at the MetCafé and drink in the
delightful decor.
You won’t be able to resist the delicious offerings at this ultra-stylish café!
Snug and cosy tea at the LobbyBar of the Métropole Monte-Carlo hotel. If you’re wanting an exquisite
assortment of sweet and savoury treats, accompanied by a selection of delicious
hot drinks in a timeless setting, you’ve come to the right place! A
mouth-watering experience awaits at the refined Lobby Bar designed by Jacques
Garcia.
Take tea in a lush and verdant garden at the Limùn Bar at the Hôtel Hermitage! This hidden gem is a true haven of peace
and tranquillity, the perfect place to take a break from the bustle of the city.
For a luxurious teatime experience, try the Café Pierre Hermé on the first floor of the Métropole Shopping Monte-Carlo centre!
Their French macaroons are legendary and, accompanied by a warming hot drink,
are sure to take the chill off those wintry afternoons.
Get cosy at the Bar Américain, at the Hôtel de Paris. With its unmistakeable decor and unique ambiance,
the Bar Américain will take you back to the 1920s. Relax in one of the
Principality’s most iconic bars, soak up the Gatsby-style atmosphere, and
savour the delicious fare.
The Chocolaterie de Monaco has been making the very finest confectionery since 1920, and is a safe
bet for a wonderfully chocolatey teatime experience. Its cosy team room is
welcoming and warm.
Whether you’re with family, friends, or as a couple, there’s never a bad
time to treat yourself to something sweet in the Principality!
