Amù Monte Carlo – A Rooftop Culinary Escape Above the Riviera

by Salome

Perched on the rooftop of the Fairmont Monte Carlo, Amù Monte Carlo invites guests to discover a refined culinary journey inspired by the French and Italian Rivieras. Named “Amù”—the Monégasque word for “love”—the restaurant reflects Monaco’s rich heritage and Mediterranean charm through its flavors, ambiance, and panoramic views.

Mediterranean Cuisine with Riviera Elegance

At Amù Monte Carlo, the menu is a curated celebration of seasonal Mediterranean ingredients, blending French finesse with Italian warmth. Signature offerings include:

  • Riviera Barbecue: Every Sunday from 12:30 PM to 3:30 PM, guests enjoy an elegant, open-air barbecue experience, featuring dishes prepared and served live by the chefs. Set against sweeping views of the Mediterranean Sea and Monaco, it’s a highlight of Amù’s culinary calendar.
  • Breakfast & Lunch Menus: Served daily, these menus include gourmet dishes made with fresh, locally sourced ingredients, ideal for a relaxed or refined daytime meal.
  • Evening Dining: As the sun sets over the Principality, the restaurant transforms into an elevated dinner destination, with a menu that evolves with the rhythms of the season.

A carefully selected list of fine wines and craft cocktails complements each course, offering guests a full sensory experience.
