\"\"<\/a>Ah, summer nights. The soft breezes drifting across Monaco<\/a>‘s port. The massive yachts lined up along the quay. Sweet-smelling, sun-bronzed and fashionable young couples stroll under a setting sun.<\/p>\n

The scene is romantic and elegant, just like Monaco’s new lounge\/nightclub\/restaurant\/bar, the Black Legend.<\/a> <\/strong>The name says it all, as the ambient music is devoted to the giants of Black American music: Motown, Funk, Soul, R & B, Pop and Disco.<\/p>\n

Our evening began on the spacious outdoor terrace<\/strong> with stunning views over the port and\u00a0 tables far enough apart to enjoy an intimate tete a tete. <\/em> The DJ spun soul standards while we examined an enticing menu<\/strong> of salads, pastas, fish and meat dishes. The cuisine melded American, Asian and Mediterranean themes. Between us we managed to devour a delicious small pizza with sliced truffles and arugula, Caesar salad, Asian shrimp salad, “Black Cod” (flakey cod in sweet sauce) and an entrecote. <\/em>Nothing overly complicated but the dishes were perfectly executed and portions were copious.<\/p>\n

Around 10.30 the live band started and we headed inside to the sumptously decorated interior which includes a restaurant. I hate minimalist decor and was instantly at easy in the cushy sofas, soft lighting and gleaming wood floors. The band, Soul Tigers<\/strong>, did covers of\u00a0 R & B, Soul and Motown hits of the 70s and 80s which got people dancing. I loved that you could dance if you wished or chat away in a corner, taking in the music and luxuriating in beautiful surroundings<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Black Legend is everything that Monaco is supposed to be–glamorous, chic, luxurious and fun–plus it’s actually quite affordable. A hearty salad starts at \u20ac18 and cocktails run from \u20ac12 to \u20ac25. There’s no cover.<\/p>\n

Black Legend <\/a>is open Tuesday through Sunday from noon to 5am (midnight on Tuesday) serving meals non-stop.<\/strong> (Hooray!) Wednesday through Sunday, a top-flight DJ spins dance tunes from midnight on for an increasingly frenzied crowd. See more.<\/a><\/p>\n
