Founded in 1868, Café de Paris is Monte-Carlo's landmark café-brasserie overlooking Place du Casino. Its terrace and expansive dining rooms make it both a meeting place and a front-row seat to the principality's public theatre of luxury.
The Story
Origin
Opened in 1868 as Café Divan, the venue developed alongside Monte-Carlo's casino district. A major redevelopment culminated in its reopening in 2023.
Philosophy
The sociability and broad appeal of a French café-brasserie, presented at the scale and service level expected of Monte-Carlo's central square.
Why Important
A foundational Monaco hospitality institution and a useful reference for how a historic café can function simultaneously as a restaurant, social landmark and destination attraction.
Differentiation
Few venues in Monaco combine this longevity, public visibility and range of dining occasions at such a defining address.
Food Philosophy
French brasserie classics provide an accessible culinary identity, allowing the venue to serve everyday café occasions as well as more substantial lunches and dinners.
Guest Experience
Coffee, meals and aperitifs unfold against the activity of Place du Casino. The terrace is particularly important to the experience, making observation of the square part of the attraction.
Design Philosophy
Preserve the recognisable character of a historic European brasserie while adapting its rooms and terraces to contemporary luxury hospitality.
Design & Architecture
Lighting
Decorative interior lighting complements the daylight and openness of the terrace-facing spaces.
Furniture

Architecture
A landmark building addressing Place du Casino, reconfigured through a major redevelopment completed in 2023.

Belle Époque-inspired brasserie grandeur.
Interior Design
