Lovely restaurant inside the Hermitage Hotel. Has a large outdoor balcony that overlooks all of Monte Carlo’s harbor. Food is Mediterranean and is quite good with a nice variety. I had the Foul And my wife had the Lamb. Service was good and the waitstaff was Very attentive and friendly. For a Michelin Star restaurant and its location we found the prices to be very reasonable. Would certainly eat here again

Pavyllon Monte-Carlo. A one‑Michelin‑star restaurant by Chef Yannick Alléno in Hermitage Hotel in Monte Carlo. The restaurant features an open kitchen with a tasting‑counter. The garden patio with a view of the sea is a bonus when with our permits. In terms of food, the offering is French cuisine using innovative methods like cold extraction. Desserts were excellent and not heavy on sugar.

We went for dinner without a reservation, even though reservations are highly recommended. Despite this, the management went out of their way to accommodate us, which we truly appreciated. The restaurant itself is absolutely stunning. the terrace overlooks a beautiful bay filled with luxury yachts. overall ambiance and aesthetics are simply unmatched. Both the food and the service were excellent. We tried several different dishes, and everything was delicious. The shrimp tartare stood out as my personal favorite. A memorable dining experience from start to finish.

The food was too heavy for me that I felt sick. The opening course of the amuse-bouche was pretty good, and so was the bread. The crab appetizer was surprising and had really fun textures. The pasta with peas tasted really weird, it was almost like vinegary. After the seabass course with the almond milk I felt so nauseated the food felt too filling that I was feeling sick. They kept on serving me food that was way too thick, creamy, and filling that by the lamb course, I felt I wanted to throw up just smelling it. I usually always try to finish my food or at least try a bite during tasting menus. I had a taste of the mashed potato and it was okay but at that point I was close to gagging I couldn’t even try the lamb. They still served me both the desserts even though I told them I couldn’t do it anymore. On the way out to the restaurant I was gagging and I threw up in the bathroom (and cried obviously because I spent my hard earned money to feel sick). I was solo dining and I really had my hopes up. I wish the waiters were more attentive because I came out of this restaurant paying 288 USD just to feel so nauseated, sick and to throw up. There was no lightness/freshness between the dishes. Maybe I’ll come back in a couple years if they change their menu and it looks like there’s more balance. Other than that, the ambience was nice with the open view and the open kitchen — but it was too noisy at one point I couldn’t hear the servers describing the dish to me and whenever I told them anything they couldn’t hear properly.

Pavyllon is a beautiful fine dining restaurant in the heart of Monaco. Located within the Hôtel Hermitage Monte-Carlo, to access the restaurant, you go in the main doors of the hotel where one of the attendants will ask your reason for visit and take you to the restaurant. If someone does not come up to you, the hallway that takes you to Pavyllon is on the right side of the atrium. The restaurant decor is beautiful. It is a chic aesthetic that is immaculately clean. They have an open kitchen so if you are seated at the bar, you have a front row seat to their preparation. There is also a patio which is available weather-permitting and has a great ambiance. The bathrooms are extremely clean and quite fancy. We ordered the set menu for lunch which comprised of a cooked foie gras salad, a beautiful traditional trouchia, steamed sea bass with Japanese flavours, lamb chops with a shiso coulis and candied orange with mascarpone ice cream for dessert. The food was unbelievable! The trouchia was absolutely stunning in its presentation. It was one of the prettiest dishes I’ve seen and it was almost difficult to eat because it was like eating a piece of art! Flavour-wise, everything was delicious. The lamb was juicy and the accompanying sauce was a perfect complement. This dining experience was top notch. The ambiance was upscale, the service was exceptional and the food was amazing. We would love to come back the next time we are in Monaco!

Breathtaking view overlooking the harbour. We first thought of sitting at the counter seats to watch the chefs. However, a very kind staff guided us to the balcony and we are so happy that we sat there. Loved the atmosphere of the balcony with its stunning view. And highly recommend to visit before sunset. Watching sunset whilst having dinner felt dreamy. However, the service of the table staffs were just average. They could have been more professional, matching its reputation and the beautiful interior. Also, they forgot to put the bottle of wine we ordered. So we had to tell them that they forgot to add the wine on the bill ;)

Pavyllon, the restaurant by Yannick Allèno, located in Beaumarchais, is one of the most refined dining experience in Monaco in a chic atmosphere. Rino Siconolfi Instagram rino_siconolfi
