Mareterra will be inaugurating its first restaurant – Marlow – on 16th January. The eagerly awaited venue promises to blend English charm with Mediterranean sophistication, offering a fresh addition to the Principality’s dining scene.

Located in the heart of Mareterra, Monaco’s innovative six-hectare district reclaimed from the sea that was inaugurated on 4th December, Marlow will bring a vibrant atmosphere to the area’s luxury residences and high-end amenities. The restaurant will feature a spacious 300 sq.m interior and a 100 sq.m terrace, designed to accommodate everything from leisurely breakfasts to festive evenings.

Marlow’s design will reflect the vision of acclaimed Franco-Mexican designer Hugo Toro, who is known for his work in Paris and London. The interior will showcase natural materials, warm tones, light marble, and inviting furnishings, all centered around a striking bar. Details such as art books and biographies of English lords will add a unique and whimsical touch to the space.

The restaurant will be led by Bryan Gaillard, an experienced restaurateur who honed his craft in some of London’s most prestigious venues. Under his guidance, Marlow will serve an enticing menu featuring English breakfasts, indulgent Sunday brunches, and Anglo-Saxon specialties such as lobster rolls paired with champagne. Guests will also have the option of Mediterranean-inspired dishes and a takeaway service for enjoying Marlow’s cuisine on the go.

Afternoon tea, complete with cozy armchairs and fine pastries, will be a highlight of the experience, while evenings will focus on expertly crafted cocktails, aged whiskies, and a refined dinner menu.

Energy-efficient light replacements continue in Monaco’s Dorsale tunnels

In line with its commitments to establishing greener infrastructure, the Monaco Government will continue its extensive lighting replacement and modernisation project in tunnels across Monaco throughout 2025. The works will require a series of closures and diversion routes, with three tunnels set to close to the public for a month starting on 6th January.

Since 2021, the Urban Development Directorate of Monaco (DAU), which operates under the Department of Equipment, Environment and Urban Planning, has been systematically replacing outdated fluorescent and sodium lamps in the Principality’s tunnels with advanced LED lighting systems.

These LED lights are significantly more energy-efficient and environmentally sustainable, boasting lifespans of 80,000 to 100,000 hours. This upgrade will dramatically reduce energy consumption and minimise the need for frequent replacements, as the new equipment requires renewal only once every decade.

Following the successful completion of lighting upgrades in the Sainte-Dévote-Débarcadère and Digue tunnels, the DAU is extending its campaign to the entire Dorsale underground network. To carry out this work, various tunnels will be closed on a rolling schedule between 9.30pm and 6am, based on a set calendar from 6th January to 4th August.

The first phase, running from 6th January to 5th February, will involve the closures of the Rocher Nice tunnel under the Rocher, the Rocher tunnel and the Canton tunnel.

The second phase, scheduled from 10th February to 28th February, will see the closure of the Colle, Dorsale, Hélios, Fontvieille descent and Rocher Nice tunnel under the Rocher.

The final phase, taking place between 16th June and 4th August, will include the closure of the Dorsale tunnel, Canton tunnel (T2ter) and Larvotto tunnel.
