World-renowned chef Nobu Matsuhisa made a triumphant return to Monaco this week, personally hosting two extraordinary gastronomic evenings at Nobu Fairmont Monte-Carlo…
For diners lucky enough to secure a table, it was a rare opportunity to witness the celebrated master in action, preparing a bespoke omakase menu and sharing the soul of his globally admired cuisine.
With more than 30 years of culinary innovation behind him, Nobu’s fusion of Japanese technique and bold Peruvian flavours has earned him acclaim across continents. For these exclusive Monaco nights, he crafted a six-to-seven course tasting menu that incorporated signature dishes such as truffle-infused sashimi and charcoal-grilled shrimp, all elevated with local ingredients including Mediterranean fish and seasonal vegetables.
The experience was more than just a meal. With Nobu’s quiet precision on display behind the counter, each course unfolded like a story, told through subtle gestures, vibrant flavours, and moments of shared delight. Guests also enjoyed refined cocktails and finger foods, adding to the immersive atmosphere of hospitality and excellence.
Nobu expressed his affection for Monaco, where his restaurant has been a fixture for ten years, praising the beautiful views and the energy of guests. “I love watching people’s faces, smiling, eating, happy,” he said, describing the real reward of his craft.
More than a visit, Nobu’s return felt like a celebration of Monaco’s position as a beacon of luxury, refinement, and world-class cuisine. For many, it was a night to remember, and taste, they’ll never forget.
