A tea room open all day

Intimate and warm, Cedric Grolet Monte-Carlo will be welcoming its customers to the patio of the Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo from breakfast onwards, with a range of fruity, savoury and, of course, sweet dishes.

The afternoon will be devoted to this cultural reference, combining savoury creations and Cedric Grolet's signature pastries: Lemon Flower, Mango, Vanilla Flower, Raspberry Diamond, Peanut... and new products.
For those with a sweet tooth, there's a boutique so you can enjoy the moment at home.
