Best Open Kitchen Restaurants in Monte Carlo Hotel & Casino

Fantastic comfort food - great drink menu - awesome service from Kendal!

It’s one thing to go into a restaurant, it’s another feeling when the restaurant belongs to Gordon Ramsay. I Have been to other Gordon restaurants, however; I could feel the attention to plating, atmosphere, and I could taste what Chef Ramsey has taught his chefs. With that said, the Beef Wellington is amazing, cooked to perfection, the puff pastry on the beef crispy, with a nice medium rare steak. The lobster risotto, was smooth and delicious. Octopus with the sauces is amazing. Golden beets salad fresh and the crème is excellent. Make sure you choose your seating early, in 2021 is when I found out you have to book early, and I mean

Matt was the coolest waiter! He definitely is a natural with making sure we were attended to throughout the dinner. This dinner experience was on a whole other level! The tasting menu was the best food experience I’ve ever had! The food was beyond delicious and the drinks were amazing! I recommend the tasting menu to people who want to experience this Michelin restaurant! Coming back in May!

The lasagna was sensational. Best I have ever had. I have eaten lasagna all my life, coming from a full blooded Italian family and this was the best ever. I highly recommend Eataly!

Had an early dinner at Bar Centro, a restaurant by José Andrés located a half-floor down from Bazaar Mar in Crystals. Started with the Sangría de Cava ($18), a nice fruity punch. Wavered over several options within the Little Snacks section but ultimately chose the José's Taco ($25): I pray that my surprise was not visible on my face when this was delivered. This was really SMALL, shorter than my pinky finger, for 25 dollars. Tasty morsel to be sure, but still, a mere nibble for 25 dollars. Had opted for the Daisy de Graná ($22) to go with the "taco". This drink was fantastic, with a great contrast between the lightly sweet/sour citrus liquid and the salt foam top. Gave a good buzz too. Had two. As dessert, The Foie-full $14): Cute crispy waffle, heavy on the peanut butter scent and taste. The Modifier ($22): Finished at the bar with a mad scientist flair, complete with smoking flask. Not as sweet as ingredients might lead to expect. Value: Cocktails crushed it; food items I ordered though sent the value prospect plummeting due to the wee portions. Especially that "taco". Atmosphere: As with its larger sibling Bazaar Mar, Bar Centro went to great design lengths to conceal its location in a mall. Green trellises, fringed awnings, white plaster(?) statues, colorful embroidered chairs. But the mall atmosphere intruded-being located on the landing between levels, it's bounded by public stairs and escalators, and the surrounding white walls break the illusion of dining in a garden pavilion. But the deco is lovely. Service: Superb from John and Josh (? forgive if wrong; the man with two-tone hair). Very personable and charming. Hostess and runners were friendly and professional as well.
