The Blue Bay
Marcel Ravin will be resuming his creations at the Blue Bay at the Monte-Carlo Bay Hotel & Resort from July 1. The Michelin-starred restaurant reopens its doors on July 1, 2021, from Wednesday to Saturday for dinner. Marcel Ravin took advantage of a break of a few months to magnify his menu inspired by his Caribbean origins, mixed with the influences of his adopted land. Products from there, or very close to here – fruits, vegetables, aromatic plants, most of them freshly picked from his vegetable garden – create an astonishing alchemy. This sensory experience is to be discovered from the restaurant terrace facing the lagoon and the sea.
