The Riviera legend is back...Loulou takes over the reins of the iconic "Pirate" located on Cap Martin.

Le Pirate, as it was formerly known, is situated along the entrance to the Cap Martin Peninsula - between Monaco and Menton. It is here in the 1960s and 70s, where the owner, Charles Albert Viale, aka ‘Le Pirate’, transformed a fisherman’s hut that practically clung to the rocks on the edge of the sea into a summer hotspot where such notable celebrities such as Roger Moore, Brigitte Bardot and Frank Sinatra, came to eat and party at the height of a season.

Now - the creators of Monsieur Bleu in Paris comes this sister outpost of their famed follow-up Parisian restaurant (there's also Loulou Saint Tropez on the legendary Pampelonne Beach) have taken over with local legend Samy Sass. Discover a timeless chic design - featuring a white and blue colour palatte with plenty of wooden and rattan furniture filling the many breezy terraces - with breathtaking views of the sea. Food-wise - there's Mediterrean sharing plates of fried calamari, tuna crudo with anchovies, the sea bass ceviche alongside pizza and pasta dishes and whole roasted fish of the day.
