In one of the most anticipated evenings in the gastronomic world, the Michelin Star Ceremony, held at the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco, a new star was born.
Robuchon Monaco has been awarded its first Michelin star, joining the constellation of the world’s finest dining establishments and further cementing Monaco’s standing as one of Europe’s most celebrated culinary destinations.
This distinction is not just a triumph for Robuchon Monaco, it is a testament to the extraordinary gastronomic ambition of the Principality of Monaco itself. Monaco now boasts a remarkable 14 Michelin stars, a staggering achievement for one of the world’s smallest nations, and a resounding testament to its place among the world’s greatest culinary destinations.
Every great restaurant begins with a vision, and at Robuchon Monaco, that vision belongs to Manal Arman. A perfectionist entrepreneur with an innate mastery of the codes of luxury, Manal had a clear and ambitious purpose: to collaborate with Robuchon and bring to life three new dining concepts in the heart of Monte-Carlo. Alongside celebrated interior designer Francis Sultana, Manal embarked on a bold journey to redefine Haute Gastronomie at the very heart of the Principality, blending elegance, precision, and a thoroughly modern sensibility. This Michelin star is, in many ways, the finest expression of that vision brought to life.
Based on the heritage and legacy of Joël Robuchon, the most Michelin-starred Chef in history, Robuchon Monaco carries with it one of the most celebrated legacies in the world of gastronomy. This star is not merely a recognition of outstanding cuisine; it is the manifestation of a vision built on relentless pursuit of perfection, unwavering standards, and an unconditional love for the culinary arts.
From the rigorous selection of the finest ingredients to the art of plating, every detail at Robuchon Monaco is conceived to delight the senses and celebrate the very essence of French haute cuisine, reimagined with a contemporary touch.
At the helm of this exceptional establishment, Chef Jonathan Larrieu has led his team with passion and uncompromising dedication since day one. In his own words: “This star consecrates a powerful ambition: to make the Robuchon name shine in Monte-Carlo. It rewards a project driven with exacting standards and passion every day. I would like to warmly thank all those who have contributed to this achievement.”
Robuchon Monaco invites guests from around the world to live an unforgettable gastronomic journey, where the timeless elegance of French culinary tradition meets contemporary sophistication. Each dish, carefully conceived and beautifully presented, reflects a perfect balance between innovation and deep respect for tradition, a dining experience and leading culinary influence in the glamour of Monte-Carlo.
