There is a wonderful contrast between the location – the Monte Carlo Beach, a magnificent 1930s luxury hotel – and the cuisine. Very much of its time, the zero-waste, organic and natural food remains rooted in the local terroir. Healthy and aromatic dishes, a gorgeous setting designed by India Mahdavi, an elegant terrace overlooking the sea. Blissful.
lsa, a restaurant at the heart of nature…
An intimate venue nestled at the heart of the Monte-Carlo Beach, Relais & Châteaux, the restaurant Elsa is one of the Riviera’s hidden gems. Inside, the décor, designed by India Mahdavi, is elegant and timeless. The azure shades delicately bring to mind the contours of the Mediterranean coastline. From the terrace, time stands still for a delicious moment as the sea spreads before you as far as the eye can see. In the summer, you can choose to dine cocooned in the cool indoors or to sit out on the magnificent terrace beneath the stars.
With its sustainable fine dining, Elsa is an ode to the seasons, local produce and short supply chains; a restaurant inspired by nature, enhanced by delicate creativity. Conceived as a summer paradise, where the rhythm of your day follows the lapping of the waves, Elsa is inspired by the Mediterranean art of living, the surrounding pine forest and its unique ecosystem. Diners come to Elsa to enjoy refined cuisine with conviction, in a welcoming atmosphere.
Elsa is also awarded “Ethical and Environmental Responsibility Prize” by La Liste during the Special Mediterranean Awards 2023.

4 months agoWOW. If I could give this review more than five stars, I would! My wife and I weren’t staying at the hotel, but wanted to book a nice dinner to celebrate our honeymoon. Elsa and its incredible food and staff did not disappoint. We were seated outside on the gorgeous patio, enjoyed a spectacular sunset, and delighted in the creative food and excellent service. This was the best service I’ve received at any restaurant. We loved hearing the sounds of the ocean as we dined. Thank you again to Maurice and team for making our honeymoon so special with the unexpected culinary surprises and warm service.

11 months agoWe came here for lunch during our daytrip to Monaco in June 2017. Amazing meal and it was a beautiful day to eat outdoors. Very happy that we went here. Also, I've never seen so many expensive cars in one parking lot.
