Monte-Carlo and Modern Monaco

Modern

From the founding of the Société des Bains de Mer in 1863 and the opening of the Casino and the Hôtel de Paris, Monaco built an international luxury restaurant economy: ESCOFFIER cooked at the Grand Hôtel here early in his career, and the modern city has one of the highest densities of high-end restaurants anywhere. ⚠ THIS IS NOT MONEGASQUE TRADITIONAL FOOD AND IS NOT RECORDED AS IT. It is a distinct and genuinely important modern layer, and the two are kept apart throughout.
