Let’s kick things off with Monaco’s most iconic dining institution: the Hôtel de Paris’ Le Louis XV – Alain Ducasse. This three Michelin-starred restaurant is promising a New Year’s Eve experience like no other, with an exceptional menu priced at €1,200 per person excluding beverages. The menu with wine pairing costs an additional €500.
There are three other options for dining on New Year’s Eve at the hotel too: Le Grill is offering a menu for €990 per person excluding drinks, while the Salle Empire will be hosting dinner with a show for €1,200 including wine. Dinner à la carte can also be enjoyed at the Bar Américain, where a minimum spend on beverages has been set at €750 per person from 10pm onwards.
Over at the Hôtel Hermitage’s Pavyllon Monte-Carlo, a one Michelin-star restaurant from Chef Yannick Alléno, a six-course menu has been created specially for New Year’s Eve. It costs €990 per person. While a glass of champagne is included in the menu, wine pairing is at an additional cost.
The hotel’s Salle Belle Epoque will also be providing a dedicated dinner experience: a five-course dinner priced at €700 for adults, including half a bottle of champagne, and €350 for children. Dinner à la carte can also be had at the Limùn from 7pm, and the Crystal Bar will be serving cocktails and canapés from €40 per person from 7pm.

Our final recommendation for New Year’s Eve 2023 is Mayabay, transformed into a luminous haven for ‘Lantern Night’ on 31st December. Enjoy innovative cocktails, creative cuisine, and a lively atmosphere. The minimum consumption is €400 per person, featuring a DJ party lasting until the early hours of 2024.
Geishas will enchant with singing, and live performances will escalate in festivity as the night progresses. The evening unfolds in two parts starting at 7:30pm, and continuing with a DJ and dancing from 10pm onward to celebrate the clock striking midnight and beyond.
