“I feel proud to welcome the Sovereign, who will be opening the restaurant at the inauguration,” Marcel Ravin told Monaco Info. Prince Albert II discovered the Blue Bay’s new look. The decor, which was dreamt up by the double Michelin-starred chef, recently awarded the “Grandes tables du monde” label , brings together all the elements of a unique identity. Both in his cuisine and in his setting, Marcel Ravin combines “his Caribbean roots, his Mediterranean home, and his travels on the five continents.”
Ringing the changes on the menu too
He describes a setting with “lots of materials.” The restaurant seeks to include “life’s five elements … water, earth, fire, metal and wood.”
As for the menu, the dishes will vary according to the chef’s vegetable garden. In addition, the chef’s diverse and multicultural inspirations are reflected in his signature and new dishes. Among them, we find: a beautiful raviole of lobster, coconut water curry, Zēbāfē oil, sweet potato with cocoa butter, ginger, trout roe; a Buckler Sorrel Lacté served in a gourd, or:
New food & wine and non-alcoholic food & flavour pairings are available to complete the experience. Created by the Chef and his Sommelier, these pairings “create surprising and tasty combinations.”
Marcel Ravin worked with Maison Clément to create a Signatures rum that combines “notes of cocoa, leather and vanilla, with a herbaceous side and a distinct taste.”
The culinary experience can be discovered from 14 February.
