Monaco: Where to Eat: Big Night Out: Joël Robuchon Monte-Carlo

Joël Robuchon Monte-Carlo

Famed chefs Joël Robuchon and Christophe Cussac head this latest haute-gastronomy hot spot in the Hôtel Métropole, where patrons create their own menus from pricey but exquisite tasting portions of Mediterranean dishes. Highlights: tomato and caviar cappellini; tiny lamb chops with heavenly mashed potatoes, Robuchon’s signature dish; and original desserts like the Tibetan Secret, a green-tea and iced-melon parfait with whipped cream. The dozen chefs slice and chop in plain view in the open-plan kitchen, presenting quite a show.
