A sushi coup on the Monte-Carlo dining scene, Fairmont lures LA's most famous Japanese chef to a designer dining room and terrace. A massive bar features signature cocktails and late-day dining scene with dramatic views of the principality. Captured in floor to ceiling windows, the main dining room is lined in wide-plank wood floors that frame semi-circle banquettes and modernist chairs facing the sea. A working sushi kitchen offers up-front counter seating as well as a long terrace that's a bit narrow but yields head-on sea views perfect for warm summer nights.
