Explore Song Qi Monaco: sophisticated Chinese fine dining by Larvotto Beach featuring vegetarian specialties, vegan-adaptable dim sum, and seasonal vegetables in glamorous surroundings.

If ever your night has any expectation to be polished yet downright earthy, Song Qi should be on that list. Across from the Grimaldi Forum and just a stone’s throw away from Larvotto Beach, Song Qi can be described as a deluxe dinner theater of Chinese cuisine mingling fairly glam decor with considerate vegetarian and vegan options. You feel elegant with an out-of-the-way charm that is uncomfortably familiar, yet free and refined.

Song Qi Monaco – A Space That Speaks of Art and Ease

Stepping into Song Qi has that quiet pause of a cinematic moment. The place does not claim your attention; it rather pulls you in faintly, with subtle details unfolding as you get settled. Humbert & Poyet put the black marble together with the soft jade velvets and brushed brass. It is a very special concoction in which sublime elegance meets utter tranquility. It feels like a salute to old Shanghai but never really lets the whole place become an old Shanghai theme. Everything here is considerate. Thoughtful. You finally sit down, and it just feels good-the evening becomes the right thing to do.

Plant-Based Dining Without Compromise

While Song Qi’s menu leans confidently into seafood and meat, there’s something quietly impressive about how it treats its vegetarian offerings-not as alternatives, but as equals. You’ll find no shortcuts here. The edamame dim sum is delicate and almost creamy inside, the braised tofu carries depth and softness, and the seasonal stir-fries arrive alive with colour and balance. These are dishes with intention-composed, elegant, and satisfying in their own right. It’s one of the reasons plant-based diners come back: not to ask for what’s possible, but to enjoy what’s already been carefully considered.

Song Qi Monaco – Vegetarian & Vegan Highlights

• Creamy Edamame & Truffle Oil Dumpling – smooth, flavorful, and entirely vegetarian.
• Mushroom & Chive Dumpling – delicate, satisfying, and comforting.
• Crispy Veggie Roll – crispy outside, flavorful inside. Vegan, warm, and easy to share.
• Braised Homemade Tofu & Aubergine in Black Bean Sauce – rich soy flavor, tender texture, properly satisfying.
• Seasonal Vegetables Stir-Fried – such as bok choy or asparagus wok-tossed with garlic (vegan by default).
• Mushroom Lamien or Vegetable Ho Fun Noodles -plant-based noodle bowls with depth and warmth.

Beyond these, diners report the restaurant will adapt components of dishes-removing dairy, requesting more sauce, or skipping garnishes-to meet dietary needs. It’s not the menu that changes-it’s the willingness.

Why Song Qi Monaco Stands Out for Vegetarians

• Vegetarian dishes are clearly labeled and crafted with intention.
• The kitchen welcomes adaptation-not as burden, but as part of hospitality.
• Ingredients are freshly sourced and hand-prepared, not pre-fab.
• The atmosphere-modern, calm, cultured/feels safe for both food lovers and mindful eaters.

A Table That Matches the Setting

The restaurant opens daily for lunch (12:00-14:30) and dinner (19:00-23:00, until 23:30 on weekends), with average a la carte prices around €51 for two courses (excluding drinks).

It’s fine dining-but one that avoids fuss. It’s that delicate balance between style and ease you seldom find in such settings.
