Against the backdrop of the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters, Lacoste offered a preview of its upcoming summer pop-up café at Le Méridien Beach Plaza, attended by tennis stars Grigor Dimitrov and Daniil Medvedev.
A day before the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters tournament began, Monaco Life attended the pre-launch of Le Café Lacoste at Le Méridien Beach Plaza on 4th April.
The event marked the start of a new collaboration between Lacoste and the Monaco-based Giraudi Group, and provided its VIP guests with a preview of the Le Café Lacoste pop-up, which will open at the hotel in early summer.
Guests were introduced to a curated menu inspired by Lacoste’s sporting heritage, featuring classic club sandwiches, reimagined desserts and cocktails that nod to the legacy of the brand’s founder, René Lacoste.
Among the drinks served was Le Chose, a cocktail based on a 1967 Lacoste creation enjoyed at the famous Chantaco Golf Club in Saint-Jean-de-Luz. Signature lattes, featuring pistachio and vanilla, were also part of the offering.
Tennis players Grigor Dimitrov and Daniil Medvedev, who are taking part in the ongoing 2025 Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters, were both present for the occasion and were seen chatting on the red Lacoste swing installation by the sea.
“Our aim with this collaboration was to offer a unique experience, combining freshness, balance, and bold flavours,” said Thierry Paludetto, Executive Chef for the Giraudi Group. “Each dish reflects the elegance and energy of the brand, that French flair, through exceptional ingredients and daring pairings.”
Le Café Lacoste will open as a pop-up at Le Méridien Beach Plaza in early summer, offering a seasonal experience that blends style, food and the brand’s distinctive sporting identity.
