It’s weekend again and if you haven’t made up your plans yet here a few suggestions from HelloMonaco on what you can do this Saturday and Sanday.
This weekend you can indulge in fine cuisine as there are several food festivals in the area. The first one held in Monaco for 3 years running by the association Bio Chef Global Spirit with Monte-Carlo Beach’s Michelin-starred chef Paolo Sari as its president, La Route du Goût (The Road to Taste) has become Monaco’s number one organic food festival. La Route du Goût 2017 will take place from Thursday, 12 October to Sunday, 15 October under the high patronage of H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco.
A traditional gala dinner, prepared by children and Monaco’s chefs, will take place on Friday at the Monte-Carlo Beach.
On Saturday afternoon, nine Michelin-starred chefs will cook aboard prestigious Riva boats for a few lucky gourmet guests who will have booked their spots beforehand.
On Saturday evening, the organic gala dinner ‘Chefs Love The Planet’ will take place in partnership with the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation and the association Bio Chef Global Spirit. Nine Michelinstarred chefs will offer dinner guests a meal made exclusively with locally farmed, seasonal, organic products.
