With more than 25 restaurants to his name, the renowned Chef is mostly on the road and considers Hotel Metropole his second home. In 2004, he opened a first restaurant in the Hotel, “Joël Robuchon Monte-Carlo Restaurant”, followed by a second in 2008, “YOSHI”, his first Japanese Restaurant in the world.

A real master on location, his visits are always much revered. In the Cuisine, the Chef develops new recipes with Christophe Cussac, Chef des Cuisines. And when Joël Robuchon goes into the restaurant or the lobby, it’s always the same craze around an affordable and curious Chef…

Joël Robuchon, Metropole Man par excellence, makes the Hotel Metropole a destination of flavors…

Summer 2011 is going to be particularly romantic in the Principality due to the marriage of Prince Albert II to Charlene Wittstock.

In order to celebrate this union, the Hotel Metropole Monte-Carlo is proposing a poetic and romantic theme, created by the stylist and floral artist, Miss Rose by Perrine. The romantic tone is evident as soon as you enter the hotel. The majestic arch – composed of more than five hundred sculptured bushes, leading to the cypress walkway – is covered in red and white rose bushes, in homage to the official colours of the Principality.

The various public rooms in the hotel are decorated with spectacular floral compositions and a temporary Garden of Eden is placed in the heart of the Lobby with an enchanting tree, a symbol of this princely union.

To start the season, Christophe Cussac, Head Chef, offers a delicious tomato salad both simple and original.

From Central America and formerly called « love apple » and « golden apple », the tomato is known for its health benefits. Rich in vitamin C and minerals, we find the tomato under several varieties. The Chief played on this diversity of colors and shapes to bring you a salad that is both simple and original.

Thus, we find the Green Zebra tomatoes, green and slightly tart, Roma tomatoes, red and elongated, the Heart of beef, very tasty, Olivine (yellow and red), the Tomberry, the smallest tomato in the world and finally the Crimean Black, known for its color and taste very sweet.

Play the movie to see the « Tomato Salad » by Stéphane Coco, Premier Sous-Chef de Cuisine at Joël Robuchon Restaurant.

For more than one year, the Hotel Metropole Monte-Carlo has been mobilized to help NAMASTE, an association whose main objective is to improve the lives of the Nepali, particularly in terms of education and health.

The 110 children look forward to discovering their new school…
