Discover Amu Monte Carlo, the rooftop jewel of the Fairmont Monte Carlo. Savor a Mediterranean fusion of French‑Italian Riviera cuisine, signature Sunday BBQ, refined cocktails, and panoramic sea-to-harbor vistas-all in a romantic, sunlit setting.
Amu Monte Carlo – A Rooftop Culinary Escape Above the Riviera
Perched atop the Fairmont Monte Carlo hotel-and overlooking the sea from one of Monaco’s largest rooftop terraces-Amù Monte Carlo is more than a restaurant. It’s a tribute to Riviera living, Monegasque heritage, and the French‑Italian Mediterranean food culture.
Amù, which means love in Monégasque, sets the mood: each dish conceived with care, every moment orchestrated to suggest the warmth, romance, and essential beauty of Monaco.
At morning time, Amù wakes gently with the sea breeze and golden, light-filtered rays. Enjoyable breakfast may feature fresh juices, seasonal fruit, and a light pastry with incredible sights, perched at the edge of Monte Carlo’s skyline.
At midday, the menu continues: our Niçoise reimagined, delicate pasta with vongole and confit lemon, all painted with the Mediterranean blue horizon. On Sundays you can expect laughter, sizzling barbecue, families circling platters of grilled things, children dancing to live rhythm, and raising glasses lightly in the warm sun.
As evening approaches refined ease-tasting cocktails with herbal and citrus garnishes, plates of crunchy anchovies or delicate bruschetta, live music meets evening breezes, the golden light yields to starry skies. Whether you come here in love, with company, or in private solitude, Amù feels handwritten into the heart of Riviera life.
A Culinary Journey Between France & Italy
Chef-inspired menus celebrate ingredients from both coasts, offering a refined yet generous take on Riviera classics:
- Light yet elegant breakfasts (7:00 AM-11:00 AM), featuring freshly squeezed juices, affogato, and delicate patisserie
- Lunch and dinner menus (12:00 PM-11:30 PM), with seasonal seafood, local produce, linguine alle vongole, Niçoise salad, vitello tonnato, and occasional reinterpretations of Tarte Tropézienne
The menu evolves with the season, blending simple authenticity with culinary elegance.
Amu Monte Carlo – The Signature Sunday: Riviera Barbecue
Every Sunday from 12:30 PM to 3:30 PM, Amù Monte Carlo stages its renowned Riviera Barbecue: an interactive open‑air feast featuring live cooking, grilled seafood, local meats, and a convivial atmosphere. Transparent pricing starts at €95 per adult, while children (6-12) enjoy a discounted rate and under‑5s dine free.
Expect buffet‑style presentations, live music, and a relaxed family vibe-with kids’ club access and valet parking included in the offer.
Aperitivo & Rooftop Cocktails at Golden Hour
Every day, the terrace area turns into a stylish aperitivo lounge from the hours of 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM. From the psychedelic and avant-garde Cuoccuori restaurant bar in Porto, mixologist Adriano Crudo, the signature cocktail menu uses homemade syrups with sage, jasmine, citrus, and basil with sprits and served with Mediterranean appetizers like crispy anchovies or seasonal Mediterranean bites. Signature cocktails in the €15-€19 range and sharing plates around €8 .
Amù Monte Carlo – Ambiance & Views: Where Sea Meets Skyline
Amù is designed to marry comfort and elegance: natural textures, sophisticated bar seating, loungers, and dining tables set under an open sky. The panoramic rooftop offers 360° views: the Casino de Monte‑Carlo, the Opéra, the Prince’s Palace, and the glittering Mediterranean beyond.
Dine poolside if you’re indulging in Amù by the Pool, or lounge at the bar as the sky shifts from daytime brightness to golden tones at sunset.
