A must-attend event for lovers of authentic products and culinary traditions, this show invites visitors to savour the excellence of local produce and find inspiration for their festive menus.
Everything is meant to be tasted — flavour, passion, conviviality!
Gourmet Flavours and Culinary Delights
For many years, this gourmet fair has delighted visitors with the quality and diversity of its products, carefully selected from among the best producers, as well as with the richness of its events.
It’s a unique opportunity to indulge in exceptional products as the holiday season approaches.
On the menu: French, Italian and European regional specialties, culinary demonstrations, tastings, and gastronomic competitions.
Highlights:
● Culinary demonstrations
Every day, renowned chefs and promising young talents will perform live cooking demonstrations — valuable opportunities to learn professional tips and get inspired for creative festive menus.
● 7th Maestro Chef Competition
The 2025 edition will spotlight 8 passionate amateur cooks. This unique culinary challenge in the region will allow participants to showcase their skills before a panel of Monegasque chefs and Nalika Dinushi, winner of the 2024 edition.
Organized in partnership with the Monaco Goût et Saveurs Association, it will take place from Friday, November 28 to Sunday, November 30 (final on Sunday, November 30 from 12:00 p.m. to 3:15 p.m.) with a different recipe revealed each day.

This year, the charity event will support BE SAFE. It will be held on Friday, November 28 at the show, in the presence of Miss Camille Gottlieb, President of BE SAFE.
Twenty chefs will each prepare one or two bite-sized creations to support the cause.
All proceeds will go to BE SAFE, an association that fights against drunk driving.

● Major competitions during the show:

The awards ceremony for both competitions will take place Friday, November 28, from 5:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.
As every year, several key associations will actively participate in the fair:
Monaco Goût et Saveurs, Slow Food Monaco Riviera Côte d’Azur, the Association of Italian and French Maîtres d’Hôtel, the Monegasque Association of Sommeliers, and the Monaco Hotel Industry Association.
Under the Chapiteau of Monaco, visitors are invited on a true gastronomic journey filled with discovery and sensory emotion.
Just days before the holiday season, they’ll have the chance to taste and purchase a wide selection of authentic, high-quality products.
Across 2,500 m² of friendly atmosphere, over 100 producers from France, Italy, and across Europe will showcase the best of their regions — foie gras, truffles, caviar, chocolates, confectionery, cheeses, cured meats, organic products, jams, champagnes, armagnacs, wines and liqueurs — offering a delicious path of flavours and craftsmanship.
And to delight all gourmet visitors, a raffle will take place on Monday, December 1 at 5:30 p.m., with prizes made up of exhibitors’ products.
For its 28th edition, Monte-Carlo Gastronomie will once again be an invitation to indulgence, awakening the senses and delighting the palate!
