The MICHELIN Guide and Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer bring together 110 Michelin-starred chefs at the Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo for a unique Chefs' Dinner

For the first time, the Principality of Monaco will be hosting the MICHELIN Guide France & Monaco Ceremony on Monday 16 March 2026, reinforcing Monaco's position as one of the world's leading stages for haute gastronomy. Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer, the driving force behind the Principality's dynamic gastronomic scene and the world's most Michelin-starred resort, is also the event's hospitality partner. As such, on Sunday 15 March, the Group hosted a unique and exceptional event, the Chefs' Dinner.

Held in the majestic setting of the Salle Empire at the Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo and the Le Louis XV - Alain Ducasse à l'Hôtel de Paris, the Dîner des Chefs brought together 110 double- and triple-starred chefs, offering a rare encounter between some of the greatest names in gastronomy.

The evening was attended by HSH Prince Albert II, accompanied by Stéphane Valeri, CEO of Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer, and Gwendal Poullenec, International Director of the MICHELIN Guide.

They were also joined by Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer chefs Alain Ducasse, Yannick Alléno, Marcel Ravin and Dominique Lory, all of whom contribute to the Principality's gastronomic reputation.

Conceived by Alain Ducasse, inspired by the new Dom Pérignon vintages and created with Emmanuel Pilon, the dinner was in keeping with the philosophy of Mediterranean Naturalness, the chef's culinary signature. Inspired by the richness of the Mediterranean basin, the menu featured emblematic products from the Riviera: chickpeas, red mullet, citrus fruits and, more broadly, the treasures of the Mediterranean terroir. In keeping with the Naturalité approach, the cuisine was predominantly plant-based, with only a handful of sustainably caught fish. The play of textures, the intense juices and the precise use of products, even the use of fish trimmings, offered a contemporary and deeply flavoursome interpretation of the tastes of the Mediterranean.

"A long time ago, I planted my roots on the shores of the Mediterranean. With Naturalité, it inspires me to create contemporary, responsible and delicious cuisine. Last night, I had the great pleasure of sharing it with my colleagues and friends. Alain Ducasse

Nearly 250 guests, chefs, gastronomy professionals, journalists, influencers, partners and official personalities were welcomed to the iconic palace on Place du Casino for an evening of sharing and excellence.

"Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer is extremely proud to welcome such an exceptional gathering of Michelin-starred chefs to Monaco on the eve of the MICHELIN Guide France & Monaco Ceremony. This evening illustrates our Group's ongoing commitment to making the Principality of Monaco one of the international capitals of gastronomy and the art of living. Stéphane Valeri, Chairman and CEO of Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer.

By bringing together such a large number of Michelin-starred chefs in the Principality, this Chefs' Dinner underlines Monaco's unique place on the international gastronomic scene and illustrates Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer's ongoing commitment to culinary excellence.
