Plate With A View: Le Grill, Monte Carlo, Monaco
The Independent (Free subscription) | 12/07/2008
The swankiest hotel in Monte Carlo is without a doubt the Hôtel de Paris, with its Alain Ducasse restaurant, the three-Michelin-starred Le Louis XV. What people often forget is that up on the roof is a perfectly good one-star restaurant with the most wonderful views.
