Welcome to Chez Pierre

French restaurant in Monaco

Pierre Baldelli embarked on his culinary journey at the age of 16, starting in the esteemed French restaurant L’Escargot de Montorgueil in Paris. It was there that he first discovered his passion for hospitality. In 1989, he joined the renowned Le Manoir aux Quat’ Saisons, Raymond Blanc’s two Michelin-starred restaurant in Oxfordshire, where he was mentored by the legendary restaurant director Alain Descenclos.

Just four years later, Pierre Baldelli opened Brasserie 44 in Leeds, West Yorkshire, for Michael Gill. By 1994, he had moved on to Hambleton Hall, a Michelin-starred establishment owned by Tim Hart.

With his growing expertise, Pierre Baldelli became the youngest manager of Marco Pierre White’s three Michelin-starred The Restaurant in London. His exceptional leadership earned him prestigious accolades, including “Best Maître d’ in London” awards from Harpers & Queen, Tatler, and The Evening Standard.

In 2004, Pierre Baldelli joined Cipriani London and after eight successful years, he moved to Monaco in 2012 to open Cipriani Monte Carlo for Flavio Briatore. With over 40 years of experience in prestigious establishments, 2022 marked a new chapter for Pierre and his family as they opened their own restaurant, Chez Pierre.

His sons, Marco and Luca, work alongside him, while his wife, Kate, oversees the administrative side of the business. Together, they have created a warm, family-run restaurant that blends traditional hospitality with culinary excellence.

Our kitchen is led by Michelin-star trained head chef Frank Laut, whose expertise in classic French cuisine perfectly compliments the restaurant’s refined yet welcoming dining experience.

If you appreciate attentive service, delicious classic french dishes and a charming, cosy ambiance, we invite you to dine with us. We recommend booking a table to ensure your experience at Chez Pierre.

What our customers say

Possibly the best restaurant experience in Monaco, if not the Mediterranean. Lovely service, beautifully prepared food and great value. We had a wonderful time and highly recommend. Thank you boys.

John Bingham

I can’t speak highly enough about this restaurant. Our experience at Chez Pierre was truly exceptional—easily one of the best meals we had on our entire trip. From the exquisite food to the impeccable service, everything was top-tier. If you’re in Monaco, this is an absolute must-visit.

Gab

Cannot say enough about the staff here. We came here for lunch initially due to proximity and Google reviews. However, after spending the afternoon with them, we decided to come back for dinner and did not regret it. It has a very unique feel as it’s tucked away, dark and intimate, and filled with great dishes and staff. Cannot wait to go back!
