Monaco — August 20, 2025. A Balearic favorite has crossed the sea. Jondal at La Vigie brings sun‑drenched Mediterranean plates to the tip of Monte‑Carlo Beach, in a setting literally over the water. The seasonal pop‑up runs June 21 to September 7, 2025, open from lunch through dinner.
Why it matters
This is not a typical seaside terrace. The dining room sits on a cliff‑edge platform above the Mediterranean, with pine trees behind and the sea at eye level. The Jondal approach—grilled, raw and fried seafood served simply—pairs with the Riviera’s golden hour better than most. For yacht guests, there is direct access by tender.

Where it is (and how it feels)
La Vigie sits at the point of the Monte‑Carlo Beach peninsula. The approach is part of the experience: a shaded path through the pines that opens to terraces perched above the sea. In the evening, the cove turns copper, then deep blue—prime time for a long dinner.

Arrive by tender
Yacht guests can dock at the private pontoon below La Vigie; the team monitors VHF 13. It’s the smoothest way to drop in for lunch or a dusk seating.
When to go
Late August to early September is sweet‑spot season: warm seas, clearer roads, and that long Riviera light. Aim to arrive 45–60 minutes before sunset to catch both golden hour and blue hour.
