Les Ambassadeurs by Christophe Cussac officially opens its doors at Hotel Metropole Monte-Carlo, positioning the restaurant among the most coveted culinary destinations not only in Monaco but also across the French Riviera.
The restaurant pays homage to the original “Les Ambassadeurs” restaurant present at the property in the 1920s. This original dining outlet soon became a staple among locals and the hotel’s revolving list of celebrities, diplomats and aristocrats.

Now, the new restaurant features elegant and contemporary Mediterranean cuisine inspired by Cussac’s own culinary heritage. The menu, carefully designed by Cussac over the course of two years, follows his self-proclaimed Cussac Style or approach of the “three flavors per dish.” This allows Cussac to respect the overall balance and ingredients of each plate, with highlights including sea bream tartare and caviar cannelloni, lobster lasagna with delicate notes of tarragon, and marinated sardine with caviar and lemon.

Guests can indulge in these Mediterranean-inspired dishes in a dining room featuring bronze, ivory and gold-hued tones. The restaurant also features La Table du Chef, offering guests a 360-degree view of Cussac and his team hard at work. To top off the restaurant’s amazing features, an all-glass wine cellar housing vintage bottles and a den of sweet treats also comprise the dining experience.

Dec 18, 2024Stroll the Captivating Barrios of the Chilean Capital
Santiago is divided into comunas (districts) and then into barrios (neighborhoods). Founded in 1541 by Spain, Santiago suffered repeatedly from earthquakes, floods and civil disorder. It is no wonder its barrios are unique and distinct — some with steep terrain crawling up into the foothills of the Andes, some sitting close to the urban center and boasting busy cafés, music clubs, restaurants, food markets, and new residential and commercial high-rises.

Dec 16, 2024Switzerland’s Lavaux Region Tempts Wine Lovers with Bottles They Can’t Get Back Home
Switzerland’s most famous exports — impeccably designed timepieces and luscious chocolate — are available around the world. Its wine, on the other hand, proves as elusive as an easy ascent up the Matterhorn. The Swiss understandably prefer to keep most of it for themselves, to sip après ski alongside bubbling fondue pots of melted Emmental. If you want to taste their homegrown beverage, imbued with crisp mountain air, intense sunlight and sparkling glacial waters, you might have to jump on a plane.
