The Gastronomic Vision
Gastronomy at Fairmont Monte Carlo is shaped by its exceptional geographic perch over the waves. The resort hosts a balanced portfolio of culinary concepts: world-renowned Japanese-Peruvian fine dining, seasonal rooftop beach-club glamour, and panoramic Mediterranean brasserie classics.
Nobu Fairmont Monte Carlo: Iconic Japanese-Peruvian Artistry
Helmed by the legendary Chef Nobuyuki "Nobu" Matsuhisa, this flagship establishment delivers signature innovative cuisine within an opulent maritime dining room designed by David Rockwell. The venue overlooks the Mediterranean through floor-to-ceiling windows and features a dedicated sushi bar, a private dining salon, and a stylish cocktail lounge.
Key culinary highlights include the renowned Black Cod with Den Miso, Yellowtail Sashimi with Jalapeño, and King Crab Tempura with Amazu Ponzu. The cocktail programme pairs vintage Japanese whiskies and bespoke Junmai Daiginjo sakes brewed exclusively for the Nobu group by the Hokusetsu Brewery in Niigata.
Nikki Beach Fairmont Monte Carlo: Rooftop Sophistication
Perched on the 7th-floor rooftop adjacent to the heated swimming pool, Nikki Beach Monte Carlo operates from April through October. It blends luxury daybed lounging, curated electronic music sets, and fresh coastal dining.
The menu reflects light Mediterranean and international summer fare: fresh Monegasque seafood platters, Mediterranean sea bass, sushi rolls, and champagne cocktails served under the Riviera sunshine with 360-degree views from the Prince's Palace to the Italian border.
Horizon Deck, Restaurant & Champagne Bar
Positioned directly over the water, Horizon Deck is the hotel’s year-round 360° panoramic venue. Guests begin the morning here with an extensive Monegasque and international breakfast buffet and return in the evening for French-Riviera brasserie dining focusing on local seasonal harvests, fresh catch from local fishermen, and artisanal Provençal cheeses.
