Marlow has brought a touch of British sophistication to Monaco and the French Riviera, with a menu that elevates classic British dishes set in a stunning Hugo Toro-designed space. With sweeping views and impeccable service, this elegant restaurant delivers a refined dining experience from morning to night, making it a highlight of Monaco’s newest district, Mareterra.
Marlow, the newest addition to Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer’s prestigious portfolio, has officially opened its doors in the heart of the Mareterra district, Monaco’s breathtaking new offshore extension. Inaugurated on 15th January by Prince Albert II and key dignitaries, the restaurant is already turning heads with its quintessentially British charm, impeccable service and mouthwatering menu that brings an elegant twist to classic English cuisine.
A refined culinary journey through Britain
Food lovers are in for a treat at Marlow, where Chef Sébastien Blin has reimagined British staples with sophistication and flair. Breakfast features the iconic full English breakfast, perfect for starting the day on a hearty note, while tea time offers the refined rituals of an English afternoon, complete with delicate pastries, finger sandwiches and a perfect cup of tea.
Lunch and dinner are equally enticing. Signature dishes include the decadent Beef Wellington, with its tender fillet of beef wrapped in mushroom duxelles and buttery pastry, served with a rich red wine gravy and an indulgent truffle purée. For seafood enthusiasts, the Lobster Roll and Crab Roll from the Roll Bar are must-tries, while vegetarians can savor the Marlow Pie, a comforting combination of walnuts, honey, mushrooms, rocket and Cheddar. The Guinness and Chicken Pie delivers hearty, slow-cooked flavors, and the classic Fish and Chips is elevated with a refined touch befitting the venue’s sea-facing setting.
Desserts are a celebration of British indulgence. Highlights include the Lord Mess, a sophisticated take on Eton Mess with tonka bean cream, meringue and fresh seasonal fruits, as well as a vegan-friendly Marlow Brownie and a traditional apple crumble. For something light, the refreshing pineapple carpaccio is an excellent choice.
An all-day dining destination
Marlow’s versatile menu is designed to cater to every moment of the day. The Roll Bar offers a casual yet indulgent option for those on the go, while Sunday brunch is a lavish affair with complimentary Champagne. Evenings see the venue transform into a stylish bar, with live soul music on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays adding a lively edge. The cocktail menu pays homage to British classics, featuring favorites like the Vesper Martini—James Bond’s drink of choice—and the Hanky Panky, a historical concoction from London’s Savoy Hotel. Whisky connoisseurs will appreciate the extensive selection, while the cigar cellar completes the sophisticated English club experience.
Marlow: a chic British hideaway in Monaco
Situated on Place Princesse Gabriella in the eco-friendly Mareterra district, Marlow is not just a restaurant—it’s an experience. The venue is a tribute to late 19th-century British literature, embodied in the fictional Lady M., whose influence can be felt throughout. Designed by acclaimed interior architect Hugo Toro, the space blends Victorian panelled elegance with Mediterranean brightness. Rich woods, pink and green marbles, and Murano glass details create a warm and luxurious ambiance, while coral-inspired motifs add a unique twist.
Guests can enjoy a variety of settings, from cosy booths and private lounges to a lively seafood bar and a sunlit terrace opening in March. Whether visiting for breakfast, dinner, a signature cocktail or a Guinness, Marlow offers a comfortable and inviting escape from dawn until midnight.
A new culinary chapter for SBM
Marlow is the latest venture in Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer’s strategy to expand its culinary horizons. The restaurant is expertly managed by Bryan Gaillard, whose background in leading London establishments ensures a level of service and attention to detail synonymous with the Group.
For Albert Manzone, Deputy Chief Executive Officer of Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer: “Marlow is the latest addition to the Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer’s collection of bars and restaurants, which already includes some 30 addresses in Monaco. This new Maison concept has been created to appeal to the largely English-speaking clientele of the new district, but also of course to Monegasque residents, as well as visitors to the Principality.”
With its flawless execution of British elegance, Marlow is set to become a cornerstone of the Mareterra district, attracting both locals and visitors alike. Open Wednesday to Sunday from 8.30am to midnight (daily from April), this is British dining reimagined in true Monte-Carlo style.
