Le Louis XV is a restaurant located in the Hotel de Paris in Monte Carlo, serving French and Mediterranean cuisine under the leadership of Emmanuel Pilon. The dining spaces blend classical design with modern service areas designed to support refined dining.
The restaurant opened in 1987 when Prince Rainier III challenged head chef Alain Ducasse to achieve three Michelin stars within four years. This ambitious goal established the foundation for its reputation as one of Europe's finest dining establishments.
The restaurant defines how fine dining is experienced in Monte Carlo, attracting guests who seek French refinement combined with Mediterranean flavors. The setting overlooking the bay creates a backdrop where the cuisine becomes the main conversation.
Reservations are essential and can be arranged by phone; the restaurant is located directly in the Hotel de Paris in central Monte Carlo. Opening times vary between lunch and dinner service, so it helps to confirm current hours before visiting.
