There’s still time to indulge in one of the Principality’s most exciting new culinary experiences: Jondal at La Vigie Monte-Carlo, a summer escape blending fresh Mediterranean seafood, Ibiza vibes, and the serene beauty of Monte-Carlo Beach.
Unveiled on 21st June, Jondal quickly became the talk of Monte-Carlo Beach. Tucked beneath the pines of La Pointe de la Vigie, in a coastal refuge protected by the Bird Protection League (LPO), the restaurant offers a setting that feels at once secret and spectacular. Imported from Ibiza, where chef Rafa Zafra made the concept a sensation since its 2020 debut, Jondal is built on one principle: The Joy of Living.
Seafood at the centre
Here, the Mediterranean’s bounty is celebrated in every form: seafood and fish arrive raw, grilled, or fried, presented with an elegance that never overshadows their natural freshness. Lunches bask in the sunlit blues of the sea, while dinners take on a more intimate magic as the horizon softens into twilight. It is both refined and relaxed.
Highlights include silky Iberian ham, caviar served on warm grilled toast, melt-in-the-mouth red tuna belly, mussels infused with onion and paprika, and grilled king crab with hollandaise. To finish, a playful Pina Catalana with roasted pineapple ice cream captures the sun-soaked spirit of the Mediterranean. The menu is inventive and refined, each dish a celebration of flavour and place.
An oasis between sea and sky
What sets Jondal apart is its atmosphere. The soundtrack is not a DJ but the lapping of waves, birdsong, and laughter, creating a rare tranquillity on the Riviera. It is a true escape — a dining experience suspended between sea and sky, where the essence of Ibiza’s convivial spirit finds a natural home in Monaco.
A fleeting invitation
Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer has already transformed this season with fresh concepts including Le Deck, Maona, and the newly Michelin-starred Elsa. With Jondal at La Vigie, it adds another jewel to its crown.
But this gem is fleeting: the restaurant is open only until 7th September 2025 — giving just weeks to discover its irresistible blend of flavours, scenery, and joie de vivre.
