LA RÉSERVE DE LA MALA

La Mala beach is one of the most popular and beautiful summertime beaches on the Riviera. Many locals and tourists make their way to the beach by foot or by boat, laying their anchor in the tranquil cove of La Mala.

It is said that the beach was named after Mala Kschessinskaya, a legendary Russian Prima ballerina who lived in the area and who frequently visited the beach with her various lovers that supposedly included Nicholas II, Russia’s last Tsar. The beach is no stranger to celebrity sightings — a few of the former James Bonds have been spotted here relaxing and enjoying their time.

La Réserve de la Mala which is located here offers a rich array of its many quality services, creative and delicious cuisine, beauty salon and water sports activities. It’s the place to go for one of the finest experiences you’ll ever have.

The director of the restaurant La Réserve de la Mala, Stéphane Rossignol shared with HelloMonaco what to expect from the restaurant and its rich and various services for its clients, as well as what its new chef Frédéric JeanGeorges is going to offer on the menu.

Stéphane Rossignol proudly revealed that La Mala beach was elected as one of the most beautiful beaches in France two years ago by the Figaro magazine. So, the natural beauty of the beach and the fact that it is the closest cove-style beach from Monaco makes this place really unique. Since the access is not evi- dent by car, many of the clients of La Réserve de la Mala come by boat which also contributes to the charm of the place. The restaurant has organized a well-designed access by boat and also offers a boat shuttle which arrives every day from Monaco, Fontvieille, Cap d’Ail, and Cap Ferrat etc.

Moreover, from June the restaurant has a little Mini Moke service, so when people park far away or live very near, they can call a person who comes with the Mini Moke, picks up people from their car and then drives them back. This is an extra service that starts this year.

Speaking about the menu, the restaurant specialty is fish and shellfish, like lobster or cray- fish, as well as the variety of local fish which are on the menu daily. There is also a tank with different fresh fish and seafood. Guests are offered to make their own choice and the restaurant will cook it for them.

This year the restaurant was joined by a new chef, Frédéric Jean-Georges. The director of La Réserve de la Mala shares that he has full confidence in the new ruler of the cuisine of the restaurant as he has huge experience behind him and they have worked already together in the past. Frédéric Jean-Georges used to work for example at L’Ane Rouge in Nice as well as in many other great restaurants. He is a Michelin star winner and is known as a very good chef, who selects only good products, who doesn’t create too big a menu, but prefers to change it instead more often. So this short menu created by him is always fresh and adapted better to the day.

La Réserve de la Mala proposes to its guests live music every weekend during the summer. The restaurant is open every day for dinner from May 26 till the end of August, and the kitchen will be open from noon to 10 p.m. In September it will revert to just lunch and the kitchen will be open from noon to 5 p.m. It is better to reserve your table at La Réserve de la Mala in advance by calling the restaurant.
