When fine dining meets the excitement of the global tennis scene

Every spring, Monaco comes alive with the excitement of the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters.
The courts of the Monte-Carlo Country Club become a showcase of renowned elegance, where every rally and movement seems choreographed. But while the tournament captures the spotlight, it is sometimes behind the scenes that true prestige is revealed. 

Amid all this excitement, Robuchon Monaco stands out as a must-visit destination. More than just a restaurant, it is a space where haute cuisine meets the pulse of the world. The name Joël Robuchon resonates like a promise: absolute mastery of technique, precision in flavors, and the subtlety of an experience crafted down to the smallest detail.

Pendant la période du tournoi, du 4 au 12 avril, Robuchon Monaco dévoile une expérience mélangeant tradition et modernité , où le service se fond dans le rythme des matchs, et où chaque assiette devient une invitation au plaisir.

 

The Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters with Robuchon Monaco: the must-attend event 

Every spring, Monaco becomes the scene of a unique buzz.

The Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters transforms the Monte-Carlo Country Club, nestled between the hills of the Principality and the sparkling waters of the Mediterranean, into a must-attend event for the world’s top tennis players and fans.

From its inaugural edition in 1897, when the court was set up on the roof of the wine cellars at the Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo, to its permanent relocation in 1928 to the magnificent clay courts of the Monte-Carlo Country Club, the tournament has retained its aura of timeless elegance. Images from the Belle Époque remain etched in our memory: players in long-sleeved shirts and long trousers, an audience of European aristocrats, a tournament where tennis was treated as an art form, and where Monaco already stood out for its sophistication. Today, the tournament welcomes champions from around the world, VIPs, and sports enthusiasts, creating a unique cosmopolitan atmosphere. Its VIP boxes, the iconic Rainier III Stadium, and the premium amenities available in the Principality make every match a true spectacle, where camaraderie and sophistication come together.

Unlike most Masters 1000 tournaments in 2026, Monte Carlo is a non-mandatory event, featuring a 56-player draw and a schedule concentrated into a single week, giving it an intense pace and a unique atmosphere.

Robuchon Monaco: the ultimate culinary destination

At the heart of this much-anticipated event, Robuchon Monaco is more than just a restaurant: it is a world of its own that redefines culinary excellence by reinterpreting the classics of French cuisine with a contemporary twist. Each dish, carefully crafted and beautifully presented, reflects a perfect balance between innovation and respect for tradition. This DNA is particularly in line with the spirit of this international competition.

Located across from the Petit Café Robuchon and inaugurated by S.A.S Prince Albert II of Monaco in October 2024, Robuchon Monaco blends seamlessly into the Monegasque landscape. Shades of green highlight the elegance of this space designed by interior designer Francis Sultana. From the woven Bonacina armchairs to the lettuce-green wicker tables on the terrace, the restaurant’s aesthetic blends perfectly with Monaco.

From the moment they walk in, guests are invited on a sensory journey: refined textures, sculptural plates, and a perfect balance between flavor and aesthetics. The service flows as smoothly as a rally on the tennis court: every move is spot-on, with the precision of a backhand down the line a tribute to Joël Robuchon.

Proudly bearing the name of the world’s most-starred chef, Robuchon Monaco embodies his philosophy: a relentless pursuit of perfection and an unconditional love for fine dining. From the meticulous selection of ingredients to the art of plating, everything is designed to delight the senses and celebrate the very essence of haute cuisine. A Michelin star now crowns this vision of excellence.

Set & Match: The perfect menu for a special occasion 

During the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters, the “Set & Match” lunch menu at Robuchon Monaco becomes a true gastronomic match. Each dish draws on Joël Robuchon’s culinary heritage, blending impeccable technique, creativity, and sublime flavors to offer an immersive and refined experience.

This seasonal menu highlights the very essence of Robuchon’s signature style. Priced at €60, it includes three courses accompanied by a glass of wine.

The famous purée, both creamy and velvety, has been an icon since the 1980s, having been brought to light by a review in the Herald Tribune. The truffle-based dishes, prepared with elegance, showcase this expertise, particularly through the rigatoni with truffle cream and grated summer truffle.

The interplay of textures and flavors, balancing simplicity and precision, is evident in dishes such as quinoa and hazelnuts with herbs, or green bean salad with confit foie gras and toasted buckwheat. The menu also features signature dishes such as roasted chicken breast served with Robuchon-style mashed potatoes, or charcoal-grilled beef skirt steak served with a Comté cheese gratin dauphinois.

Finally, the experience concludes with a selection of pastries from the display case. And, of course, the service flows as smoothly as a rally on the court: every movement is spot-on, with the precision of a backhand down the line, just like the Rolex Monte Carlo.

An Easter culinary break at Le Petit Café Robuchon Monaco

For those looking for a sweet treat between matches, Robuchon Monaco is offering a special Easter edition, perfect for relaxing under the Mediterranean sun. This year, the chef has reinvented the Easter egg as a pastry: a delicate dessert shaped like a soft-boiled egg, where coconut meets mango, passion fruit, and coconut praline, creating an explosion of flavors.
The pastries have also been reimagined for this occasion.

The same commitment to detail

This pursuit of detail, this commitment to the perfect touch, and this way of elevating the moment resonate deeply with the DNA of Magrey & Sons.

For beyond the venues themselves, it is life experiences that take shape. Places where aesthetics meet emotion, a way of inhabiting the world differently. Robuchon Monaco embodies this same vision: that of a living, sincere prestige, where pleasure is built upon tradition and modernity.

In Monaco, a unique setting where sea and light meet, this encounter takes on its full meaning. Between a lunch on the terrace, impeccable service, and the excitement of the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters as a backdrop, a certain vision of contemporary luxury emerges: immersive, sensory, and deeply embodied.

A signature concept that Magrey & Sons is launching with Robuchon Monaco, heralding a collaboration where venues and experiences will soon be revealed through a shared vision of prestige.
