It is two minutes from my home in the heart of Monaco, recently renovated and it offers since March 25th a multitude of experiences. It’s the perfect place to work, chat, share a sunny meal, have a drink by the pool in a cheerful and casual setting. The Novotel Monte-Carlo.
The place: the decoration, in the colors of Rivera du Monde, is signed by Saguez & Partners Agency. Natural materials and braided materials mingle with pastel colors and lush vegetation. As soon as you enter, you will be caught in an atmosphere of travel to the sun where the azure blue is the theme of the stay. What I really like is the gigantic luminaire of 6 meters in diameter which overhangs the bar and the restaurant. There are three spaces: Wojo Corner for those who wish to devote time to work, a new co-working space that will make appointments or meetings for daily packages (30 euros per day or 20 euros half day). The Azzurra Bar & More which welcomes from 8am to 1am professionals who want to stay connected in relaxed mode and also lovers of breaks at the counter, depending on the time of day, or even those wanting to enjoy creative juices during the day and original cocktails in the evening. Finally the restaurant Azzurra Kitchen welcomes you in a graphic blue and green camaieu for business lunches, moments in the open air or dinners with friends.
The cooking: it is inspired by the Riviera of the world and puts in honor local products. Chef Ramos is in command. There are several options: on the Wojo Corner with a food truck: sandwiches and local specialties such as pissaladière, focaccia, tasty bowls such as Caesar or Veggie, always with a healthy touch in the choice of ingredients, their cooking or of their seasoning. On the Azzurra Kitchen side: the appetizers will give pride of place to raw preparations such as ceviche, tartare or carpaccio (from 15 euros); the bowls of the Riviera inspired by the famous Hawaiian Poke Bowls (from 18 euros), the main dishes will revolve around summer and winter grills, meat and fish not to mention iconic dishes such as Miami Burger, marinated beef tenderloin with spices and Mexican peppers or a selection of pasta and risotto dishes for Italy (from 16 euros). And for gourmets, desserts will stir up all the delicacies with, among other things, cheese cake, pana cotta or other sweet specialties (from 9 euros). On the Azzura Bar side: it will be possible to taste detox coktails during the day (from 12 euros), signature cocktails in the evening, all accompanied by very typical snaking such as pissaladière, sandwiches with southern accents, cheese boards and charcuterie.
