There where the stars shine bright

Certain addresses mark an entire era. For 20 years, MayaBay Monaco has stood out as one of them: an emblematic restaurant pairing excellence with sincerity.

Our key strengths are simplicity and regularity,” says the Manager. A promise kept day by day, in a setting where high demands are met with no ostentation. Blending Japanese precision with Thai generosity, the menu composes a well-balanced score: curries rub shoulders with sushi, woks with sashimi. “We do not copy tradition, but reinvent it with respect and curiosity,” explains Christophe Dupuy, the Group’s Executive Chef. Throughout the seasons, the menu is nourished by inspirations, and occasionally suggestions: “Some guests return from Thailand, tell us about a dish, which we recreate for them.” It is this joyous creativity, this constant back-and-forth between rigour and excitement, that have forged the restaurant’s identity. “Our regulars return because they know they are recognized.” 

A multisensory experience

At MayaBay Monaco, the experience begins with the senses. “When hardly across the threshold, you know where you are.”. Cherry trees in blossom, carmine red lanterns, lacquered wood, the restaurant’s olfactory signature: everything conspires to create elegant escapism, on the road to Asia. The ambiance evolves throughout the day – velvety at mid-day, vibrant in the evening – borne along by DJ sets, and this with the same energy all year long. “It is partying on a human scale, in which everyone feels a sense of belonging,” says Richard Maria, the Group’s CEO. This convivial atmosphere has made MayaBay an address fondly appreciated by Monégasques and travellers from all around the world. 

A footprint reflected worldwide

If the restaurant has become an institution, it is through its consistency: a loyal team, attentive service, ultra-high demands. From Monaco to Dubai, Porto Montenegro to Courchevel, the Maya Collection pursues its adventure without disowning any of its values. In 2026, MayaBay opened its doors in West Palm Beach. Each destination illustrates the same commitment: that of sincere hospitality and expertise passed on rather than imitated, thanks to the talent of the chefs. “This is not a brand that travels, but rather a soul,” confirms the team. And in Monaco, the cradle of this epic tale, the address is an incomparable benchmark, where quality is conveyed through continuity and close attention to detail.
