The refurbished Monte Carlo Beach Hotel opened its new restaurant Elsa on 19 May.
The restaurant is named after Elsa Maxwell, the "hostess with the mostest", who organized the opening party of what was in 1929 the Monte Carlo Beach Club. 80 years later, chef Jean-Claude Brugel will be cooking up contemporary meals based on the sort of food that high society enjoyed during the 1920s and 30s. What a delicious way to spend lunch or dinner!
