More than just a gastronomic venue , Cipriani is all about great Venetian chic , a keen selection of exceptional products and typically Italian fantasy in its recipes .
The brand has just given a facelift to its Monaco restaurant . An amazing flowery terrace is now open to its guests . This setting truly contributes to the well-being and happiness you experience here , be it a charming , convivial lunch or a dinner in a more cosy atmosphere .
To grasp this unique restaurant ’ s identity , let ’ s go back to its history . In 1931 the Cipriani great-grandfather , who used to work for a small family trattoria , opened Harry ’ s Bar in Venice , named after an American client and friend of his . One day a countess stopped by his place . She had been recommended to eat raw meat by her doctor . Giussepe Cipriani then invented a recipe of a very thin sliced beef , seasoned with a mayonnaise sauce . This succulent creation needed an arty name . It was thus baptized carpaccio after a Venetian painter . ’ Our dishes are not very elaborate , it is all about respecting the personality of all the ingredients . An uncompromising simplicity with a hint at our Venetian heritage , a touch of creativity giving each dish its identity ’.
It is still part of the Cipriani house menu , charming us every time with its original and delicate flavour . Ever since its opening in the 1930s , Cipriani thus perpetuates its premium gastronomic traditions . Its know-how is passed down from generation to generation , definitely making it a gastronomic ’ must see ’. Following in the footsteps of the first Harry ’ s Bar in Venice , visited by Katherine Hepburn , Gary Cooper and Orson Welles ... it is now favoured by painters , writers and artists .
