CHEF CHRISTOPHE CUSSAC
For the past 20 years , Chef Cussac has expertly supervised the restaurants at Hôtel Métropole Monte-Carlo . After studying at the Paris Hotel School and training at the ‘ Royal Monceau ’, Cussac had his first encounter with Joël Robuchon , which marked a defining moment in his career .
Following his experiences at various restaurants across France , including ‘ Trosigros ’, which obtained two stars in the Michelin Guide , Joël Robuchon called on him in 2004 for the opening of Hôtel Métropole Monte-Carlo as the Chef des Cuisines . During his tenure Restaurant Joël Robuchon Monte- Carlo obtained two Michelin Stars .
Following a period of transition after the death of Joël Robuchon in 2018 , the restaurant reopened under Chef ’ s Cussac vision in July 2023 and has now rejoined the Michelin Guide , as the reimagined Les Ambassadeurs by Christophe Cussac has been awarded two Michelin stars .
