Good evening, I just came back from a Members Cocktail at Monaco's Members Club Society CREM.
CREM, Club des Résidents Etrangers de Monaco, is an association created in 2010 for foreign and Monegasque people living in Monaco to "take part in the social, economic, cultural and sporting life" in Monaco. (www.crem.mc/)
My mother is a member since early last year and the organization has organized numerous events through Monegasque connections as well as by request. For example last year, a member wanted to go to Alba, Italy to eat the seasonal delicacies of white truffles, so they organized a weekend trip! Other services are such like: premium tickets to the Monte Carlo Opera, weekly Happy Hour at the Club, guest speakers, art exhibitions, etc.
Tonight, we also had representatives from the famous Cipriani restaurants (Venice, London, New York, Hong Kong) join us because they are opening one of their restaurants in Monaco right next to CREM's lounge, where the former Ni Tapas used to be. (1, av. Princesse Grace, Monaco; to be opened around May 2012)
I actually have been to the original restaurant in Venice when I was 9 years old and I remember going to Harry's Bar, a Bar renown for their association with the Cipriani Hotel in Venice and their delicious Bellini. We were actually recommended the place by a friend in Japan who had worked there. So as a little kid who had come along with their wine-loving parents, I was sitting there asking for more Bellinis without the sparkling wine! ...Which turned out to be just peach juice...
So we shall wait impatiently to see how the restaurant in Monaco turns out! :)
