How to find a vegetarian restaurant in Monaco?

Vegan Monaco

Veganism and vegetarian diets have really taken root and are attracting more and more followers, especially among those of us who are keen to protect animals and the environment. Monaco is known for its fine-dining, so it is a choice destination for anyone looking for tasty, sophisticated vegan cuisine. Thanks to multiple Michelin star winner Alain Ducasse’s ground-breaking work at the Hôtel de Paris***’s Louis XV - Alain Ducasse, which first proposed an all-vegan menu when it opened in 1987, healthier food that works in harmony with nature is winning over more and more diners.

Because it is firmly committed to sustainable development, Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer and its restaurants offer plenty of top-quality cuisine for vegetarians. Locally sourced fruit and vegetables fortified by the Mediterranean sun are increasingly winning star status in chefs’ meals. The Principality and its best restaurants are lucky to be located at the heart of a Mediterranean terroir, which offers an abundant source of exceptional products and inspiration.

The restaurants at Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer have sourced their vegetarian friendly produce from local producers for many years now, including Christophe Ferraro (for his Carros strawberries) and the Bouton d’Or farming association (based in  Mercantour national park) for honey. The Monte-Carlo Bay Hotel & Resort and the Hôtel Hermitage Monte-Carlo even have their own organic gardens  tended in partnership with Terre de Monaco, which supply the kitchens at Blue Bay and Vistamar.  Green gastronomy and plant based diets aren’t showing any signs of slowing down in Monaco’s eateries!
