In
1985,
the Prince RAINIER III, Souverain of Monaco, the building site
visits of what will be the future Carpark of Costa. A rather elegant
construction, of Florentin style, located at the heart of Monte Carlo,
with two steps of the large de luxe hotels which are the Hotel Hermitage
and the Hotel of Paris.
On the 5th levels, the Sovereign penetrates on a surface intended for a pleasure
garden, it underlines the beauty of the site, and notices that it would be a
pleasant
place to create a restaurant.
The
idea does not remain without effects, and a few times after the Director
of the Administration of the Fields subject to me the call with candidature
for the creation of an establishment of restoration. After a fast
study, I give my agreement, and launches me in company of my wife,
in what will become the Saint Benoit. We chose to baptize it "
the Saint Benoit", to dedicate one of Patron saint of the Principality,
and Patron saint of Europe.
Under title of the restaurant is "
the Kitchen of the Sea", to give
the basic indication of our will to treat, in priority, the products of the
sea, our terrace offering on this one a panoramic sight. The chart comprises
a great choice of products of the sea, but the unconditional ones of the
meat are not forgotten.
