Goodbye Stars’n’Bars, Hello Conscientiae
After three decades, the iconic American bar and restaurant closed its doors for the last time in January. It has now made way for a brand new concept called Conscientiae. With its green focus, it aims to be the first centre for environmental innovation in Monaco. The menu at Conscientiae will be created using local, seasonal produce. And after sampling the delicious, healthy fare, guests can head upstairs and discover a wellness area designed for gentle physical exercise to aid physical and mental recovery. Finally, there is the Conscientiae Members’ Club created by the owner Didier Rubiolo. The Club is a forum where members can come together with scientists and start-ups, to explore ways of improving our lives and caring for the environment. The venue is as spacious as ever, but now features an entirely redesigned layout and the sports-themed decor has been replaced by natural materials, including plants, light wood, and marble.
