Riccardo Giraudi x Lacoste Pop-Up Café at Le Méridien Beach Plaza Hotel in Monte-Carlo

Riccardo Giraudi and the Le Méridien Beach Plaza Hotel in Monte-Carlo have partnered with the iconic Crocodile brand for the launch of the Lacoste Pop-up Café.

On April 4th, coinciding with the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters tournament, Lacoste will unveil an exclusive culinary preview at the Le Méridien Beach Plaza Hotel. The pop-up will offer a chic and relaxed seaside experience overlooking the Mediterranean, blending elegance with effortless style.

A TASTE OF THE LACOSTE LIFESTYLE

This immersive and gourmet experience will offer a refined glimpse into the French art of living and the celebrated “French flair” that defines the Lacoste spirit.

Lacoste will present a curated menu of exclusive creations, including signature lattes like Pistachio Latte and Vanilla Latte, gourmet club sandwiches, and desserts inspired by the brand’s iconic codes. For a sweet finish, elegant and indulgent desserts will be offered — to enjoy “En Double” or “En Simple.”

In terms of cocktails, the café will feature exclusive drinks, including “Le Chose,” a reinterpretation of a cocktail created by René Lacoste at the Chantaco golf course in 1967, now revived for the pop-up café. Every detail has been designed to reflect the energy and DNA of the Lacoste brand.

“For our collaboration with Lacoste, we wanted to offer a unique experience combining freshness, balance, and bold flavors. Each dish captures the elegance and vitality of the brand — that French Flair — through exceptional ingredients and daring pairings.” – Thierry Paludetto, Executive Chef for Riccardo Giraudi

Following this exclusive preview, the Café Lacoste will officially open at the beginning of the summer. The new venue will offer a sophisticated and immersive culinary journey, blending contemporary design and timeless elegance — true to Lacoste’s core values.
