LES AMBASSADEURS BY CHRISTOPHE CUSSAC
In the 1920s , the hotel opened Les Ambassadeurs , a restaurant that quickly became an emblematic address for French gastronomy . Aristocrats and diplomats alike travelled there from all over the world in search of fine cuisine .
Chef Cussac was inspired by this story and as such , chose to honour it with his restaurant Les Ambassadeurs by Christophe Cussac . His menu offers contemporary Mediterranean cuisine , with each dish comprised of only three flavours , to highlight the power of each individual ingredient . Dishes include fresh sardines with a preserved lemon and tangy foam , sea bream tartare , caviar cannelloni , veal chop with asparagus and the Grand Marnier souffle .
The warm interiors were redesigned by French architect and interior designer , Jacques Garcia . The décor , inspired by the new menu , features luminous tones of bronze , ivory , yellow , and gold – creating a fresh and welcoming atmosphere that is at home in the Principality .
The restaurant is open from Thursday to Monday , for dinner from 7.30pm to 10.30pm .
