Its quintessential style and convenient location along Place du Casino makes Café de Paris a popular stomping ground for lively dinners and terrace dining during warmer summer months. The style incorporates traditional brasserie décor of rattan chairs, Belle Epoque windows and glassy atrium with additional outdoor seating open throughout the year. Additionally, a private dining room is a bit Vegas brash but is available for special events and communal bar that's more Paris disco than classic brasserie that's open late evenings.
The Food
Chef Jean-Claude Brugel masters a traditional menu of French onion soups, cassoulette of escargot, foie gras terrine and smoked salmon on toast points. Classic Nicoise, grilled Caesar and classic caprese are followed by a selection of pastas including a truly great Bolognese or tofu lasagna. Mains are divided by meats with traditional roasted chicken, grilled salmon or veal scaloppini and beef fillet that make any trepidations about the kitschy décor or crowd disappear.
Last Word
Classic Paris brasserie cuisine in central Monte-Carlo offers master chef that impresses with feel-good menu despite the touristy location.
