Some places don’t need to prove anything. They’ve already earned their rhythm.
Le Deck, the iconic brasserie of Monte-Carlo Beach, is one of those places.
And now, in 2025, it steps forward – renewed, but not rewritten.
With a fresh vision by interior designer Dorothée Delaye, and under the refined leadership of René Blino and Frédérick Thiebaut, this Riviera institution feels as familiar as ever – but more luminous, more open, more ready for long lunches and quiet celebrations that stretch into late light.
Where Modern Riviera Style Meets Nearly a Century of Soul
The scene is unmistakable: a panoramic terrace, sunlight shimmering off the Olympic-sized mirror pool, and the blue curve of the bay just beyond. It’s elegant, yes – but not stiff. There’s a playful warmth to the space now.
The furnishings are new, but they carry the charm of something older. A nod to classic beach club style, with bold colors, soft finishes, and a sense that you’ve arrived somewhere special, without the need for excess. It feels casual and luxurious in equal measure.
Le Deck is not a destination. It’s a return.
The Cuisine: Mediterranean, Italian, and Authentically Riviera
At the heart of this new era is Executive Chef Pascal Garrigues, whose menu honors the sea, the sun, and the art of sharing.
This is food meant to be passed around the table. Easy in its confidence. Seasonal, generous, and built for joy.
You might begin with:
- Tomato, watermelon, and feta salad – cool, bright, and softly sweet
- Provençal prawns in almond-parsley butter
- Rosso prawn fritto misto and crisp squid, served with a caper tartar
- Or the theatrical sea bass flambéed with pastis, rich and fragrant
The pasta? Made fresh. Try the maccheroni with Rosso prawns, a dish that tastes like a summer afternoon should.
And the seafood? Oysters, langoustines, Breton blue lobster, sea bass, bream – all fresh, simply prepared, and served to share.
It’s a Riviera menu – anchored in the present, touched by tradition.
Sweet Finishes from a Chef Who Knows Detail
Pastry Chef Charles Bernard brings balance to the meal, never overshadowing it.
His desserts are quiet triumphs:
- A salted butter caramel millefeuille, made to order, crisp and indulgent
- A red fruit gazpacho scented with rose from Grasse, lightened by aloe vera
Each one feels considered. Not elaborate. Just right.
The Setting: Elevated, Relaxed, and Always Monaco
The Monte-Carlo Beach is not about fashion. It’s about feeling.
And Le Deck captures that exactly. The new design is confident but unforced – soft woods, noble materials, light in all the right places. It’s still the place where generations gather, just with more air between the moments.
Service is attentive but never intrusive. It lingers just long enough to anticipate what you need, and then quietly disappears. The pace? Yours to choose.
Whether you arrive in linen or barefoot from the poolside, you’ll be received the same way – with warmth and precision.
