What: Le Virage
Where: 1 Quai Albert 1, Port Hercule
Telephone + 377 93 50 77 21

With its unpretentious minimalist styling, Le Virage, which opened last September, is a waterfront bar and restaurant whose location is everything. Combining
state-of-the-art wireless cafe and chic waterside restaurant, Le Virage serves up smart cocktails (try the Virage Martini or a cool strawberry mojito) with wide panoramic views of
Port Hercule.
But for
motor racing fans, the name (which refers to the nearby Tobacconist's
corner) can mean only one thing: yes, this is the perfect vantage point
from which to enjoy the Monaco Grand Prix.
Along with chef Jacques Di Guisto, owners
Clément and Sébastien have put together an inspirational menu for this
year's race weekend.
