THE CAFÉ DE PARIS MONTE-CARLO GROWS TALLER WITH PLANS FOR A NEW BRASSERIE AND ROOFTOP TERRACE:
An atmospheric nook in the bustling surroundings of Monte-Carlo’s Place du Casino, the Café de Paris needs little introduction and is one of Monaco’s most popular venues. A real hotspot and local favourite, where Monaco’s spirit is left to live on in full swing, it’s the perfect place to bring an incentive and immerse them in the heart of Monte-Carlo.
The news that the Café de Paris will be welcoming two new additions has therefore come as a pleasant surprise to the tourist and events sector as the building prepares to build two more floors to house La Brasserie – a new high-end restaurant completes with glass skylight – and Monaco’s newest rooftop terrace “Amazonico” to accompany its sister outlets in Madrid, Dubai and London.
Look forward to warm summer evenings at Amazonico in 2024 and take your tastebuds on a tour through South America as they serve you the very best meats, sushi, and flavours straight from Brazil and Peru. Sit back and relax in their Amazon forest and jungle inspired décor and treat yourself to live performances of Latin-inspired jazz, bossa nova and Cuban music from your very own dance bar. A symphony of sights and sounds for the senses, it promises an evening to remember.
Otherwise, head to their new brasserie and transport yourself to the dazzling 1870s with leather seats, a Pinacothèque and classic terrazzo colours. Enjoy signature dishes right from breakfast to their final night orders and look out at Monaco’s unwavering city landscape. The vision of local architects Alexandre Giraldi and Alain-Charles Perrot, visitors can expect to see the finished product by autumn later this year.
