MONACO. Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer aim consists in letting its customers share a unique experience, while taking care of their well-being in this unprecedented context. It is at lunchtime that COYA Monte-Carlo launched its 4th season on Thursday 22 April 2021, before switching to lunch and dinner mode from 23 April. COYA Monte-Carlo will meet you on its terrace overlooking the sea, immersed in a new green setting. Great news this season: Chef Victoria Vallenilla Gallardo takes over the command of the COYA Monte-Carlo kitchens, bringing with her all the heritage of Venezuelan and Caribbean influences.

While waiting to be able to travel again, from Thursday 22 April COYA Monte-Carlo invites you to embark to discover the flavors and colors of Latin America. A unique culinary journey from the terrace surrounded by the Sporting Monte-Carlo gardens, far from everything and everyone and yet so close to everything, facing the sea, in a setting redesigned by the COYA Monte-Carlo teams themselves. A season that begins at lunchtime, and then gives you an appointment for dinner.

Monte-Carlo and its kitchens are now orchestrated by Chef Victoria Vallenilla

Victoria Vallenilla takes over the fusion restaurant, drawing on her Venezuelan inspirations. In fact, Victoria Vallenilla, of Venezuelan origin, acquired the art of cooking in the “Monte-Carlo” style at the Hôtel Hermitage Monte-Carlo, where she worked for 3 years, before embarking on the COYA Monte-Carlo adventure since from its opening, motivated by the desire to go back to the origins and to enhance the flavors of his childhood. This chef, with a talent just as bright as her smile, was soon promoted to Sous-Chef, and therefore to Chef, contributing to the gastronomic art of the restaurant with a modern and tasty touch.

Discover all the flavors and exoticism of this restaurant at home with the recipe for our Lomo de Res (spicy beef), one of her signature dishes. Take care and indulge yourself!
