Nestled in the heart of Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, La Table du Royal is more than a restaurant—it’s a refined culinary destination where the essence of the French Riviera unfolds through the art of taste. Within the elegant surroundings of the Royal-Riviera Hotel, chefs Geoffroy Szamburski and Lucas Simoncini invite guests on a sensory journey.
Their story began in Monaco in 2010, when their shared passion for gastronomy laid the foundation for a partnership defined by creativity and precision. After years of separate adventures—Geoffroy perfecting his Mediterranean-inspired craft in Martinique, and Lucas mastering the delicate art of pastry—their paths crossed once again at La Table du Royal in 2019. Together, they have created a cuisine that is at once contemporary and authentic, balancing freshness, finesse, and an unwavering respect for local traditions.
The Taste of the Riviera
Each dish is a tribute to the region’s natural abundance. The chefs work closely with trusted producers from Ventimiglia to the Bay of Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, selecting seasonal fruits, vegetables, herbs, wildflowers, fish, and meats through short supply chains that guarantee both quality and sustainability. The result is a menu that changes with the rhythm of the seasons, where ingredients take center stage and simplicity meets sophistication.
Diners can choose from three carefully curated tasting experiences—the Menu Riviera, Cap Ferrat, or Royal—each offering an exploration of textures and flavors that define the Mediterranean. Guests are also welcomed to order a la carte. Signature creations like San Remo gamberoni with Menton lemon, John Dory with zucchini flowers, or Polmard beef with fig and eggplant illustrate the harmony between land and sea. For dessert, Lucas Simoncini’s refined compositions—such as pear with almond rice pudding or Duplanteur chocolate with Piedmont hazelnuts—bring the meal to an elegant crescendo.
A Celebration of Local Excellence
Behind every dish lies a network of passionate artisans: Maison Polmard for beef, Arnaud Allari for local fishing, La Ciapeleta for seasonal produce, and Duplanteur for artisanal chocolate. This commitment to regional partnerships not only ensures impeccable quality but also reflects the restaurant’s ethos of authenticity and respect for the environment.
The Chef’s Table Experience
For those seeking an even deeper immersion, La Table du Royal offers an exclusive Chef’s Table—a private encounter in the heart of the kitchen. Guests are invited to witness the artistry behind each creation while savoring a bespoke menu prepared before their eyes. It’s a captivating culinary performance, where creativity, precision, and passion blend into an unforgettable experience.
In the hands of Geoffroy Szamburski and Lucas Simoncini, La Table du Royal transforms dining into an act of pure emotion—a celebration of the Mediterranean’s timeless beauty, expressed through every flavor, color, and scent. Here, gastronomy becomes poetry, and every meal is a memory to cherish.
