Born of a European meat importer's love for all things beef, Riccardo Giraurdi created the iconic Beef Bar in this principality once devoid of prime cuts and now home to perhaps the world's most fashionably delicious steakhouse. A minimalist but equally grand space in arranged in slatted dark-wood paneling with mix of rounded club chairs and more modern black leather seating that mixes elements of Christian Liagre and Patrick Jouin. Tumbled marble accents extend into the more playful lounge bar and series of semi-private dining rooms privy to the most elite dining crowd in Monte-Carlo.
The Food
Dinner begins with a fresh affair of raw bar specialties like lobster, bay shrimp and whole crab. Carpaccio selections impress whether it's the veal or beef with unique orange compote or salmon with jalapeno or yellowfin tuna. As for ceviche it’s great as well as tartare with a choice of six as well as a option for three in a single serving. As for main course, unless an avid vegetarian opt for the seatk and its innumerous cuts and variations that include Australian Japanese-style Kobe that are perhaps that best you will ever taste.
Last Word
Elegant, glamorous Monte-Carlo steakhouse offers meaty dinner and sexy lounge scene.
