Two Michelin Stars for L’Abysse Monte-Carlo

Just eight months after its opening in July 2024, L’Abysse Monte-Carlo, a true temple of the art of sushi at the Hôtel Hermitage Monte-Carlo, was awarded two Michelin stars. Once again, Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer shined in the world of gastronomy at the Michelin Guide France 2025 Ceremony, held on Monday, March 31, in Metz.

Just eight months after opening, these two Michelin stars represent a true mark of trust for Chef Yannick Alléno, Master Sushi Chef Yasunari Okazaki, and the entire restaurant team. It is also recognition of their relentless pursuit of excellence and their mastery of the art of sushi.

“My team and I are incredibly proud and grateful for these two stars, which come only eight months after our opening. They reward the hard work and dedication of our passionate team, many of whom have been with me for years. L’Abysse Monte-Carlo is now the first two-starred Japanese restaurant in Monte-Carlo.” – Yannick Alléno

At L’Abysse Monte-Carlo, every dish tells the story of the seasons while respecting tradition. Fish are sourced from local and sustainable fishing, ensuring they are caught according to their natural reproductive cycles to protect marine biodiversity.

Master Sushi Chef Yasunari Okazaki works closely with fishermen who use targeted sustainable fishing techniques, including ikejime, a method that preserves the fish’s flesh in perfect condition. Respect for the product is essential in sushi artistry, and the menu evolves with the seasons, reflecting the freshest catches.

This double Michelin distinction solidifies L’Abysse Monte-Carlo as a must-visit culinary destination, where every detail, from the dish to the decor, is an invitation to travel.

“I am extremely honored by this award and by the warm welcome that Monaco has given to L’Abysse Monte-Carlo.” – Yasunari Okazaki
