Mediterranean Glamour and Middle Eastern Flavors Collide at Em Sherif
by Andrew Shelepnytsky Contributor
August 13, 2026
In the high-stakes landscape of Mediterranean hospitality, few vantage points marry high culture and high-octane spectacle quite like the terrace of Em Sherif Monte-Carlo. Situated on the ground floor of the historic Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo, the establishment has cemented its position as one of the Principality’s premier locations for viewing the Monaco Grand Prix.
Positioned between the Mediterranean coastline and the historic Casino de Monte-Carlo, the venue offers trackside views of the Circuit de Monaco. Operationally, the restaurant brings refined Middle Eastern gastronomy to Monaco's luxury dining scene, pairing traditional Lebanese flavors with a modern culinary presentation.
Beyond its Grand Prix vantage, Em Sherif represents an evolving international effort by Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer to broaden the region's cultural and culinary offerings. By integrating authentic Lebanese heritage into one of Monaco’s most iconic Palace hotels, the venue captures a distinct intersection of Levantine culinary tradition and European luxury.
