The 10 Best Restaurants in Monaco
Monaco is home to some of the world’s most reputable restaurants, along with a whole host of delicious local cuisine. Whatever your taste buds are searching for in the principality, Monaco should be able to provide with vigour. Here is Culture Trip’s pick of the 10 best restaurants in Monaco. Dining out has never tasted so good.
Blue Bay
Restaurant, Mediterranean, French, European
One-Michelin star restaurant Blue Bay is an exquisite experience. The view from the terrace is quite something and the chef’s menu fusion of Caribbean and Mediterranean is unlike anything else in the principality. Opt for the six-course tasting menu, which will surely awaken your taste buds with flawless food pairings and complete creativity.
Le Louis XV
Restaurant, French, Vegetarian, Vegan, Mediterranean
Joël Robuchon Monte-Carlo
Restaurant, Mediterranean, European, French
An exquisite Joël Robuchon restaurant in the luxurious setting of the Hôtel Métropole, which in itself is something to see. Come to dine on expertly crafted dishes that always incorporate the flavours of the sun-drenched Mediterranean. The restaurant itself oozes opulence and grandeur, but stylishly so, with subtle and well thought out pieces. Executive Chef Christophe Cussac’s creations will make it hard to choose. Menus start from €62.
Il Terrazzino
Restaurant, Italian, Mediterranean, European
EQVITA
Cafe, Restaurant, Fusion, Vegan
If you’re looking for a plant-based place to eat, then be sure to head to EQVITA. You can get pancakes without the guilt at this healthy food joint. There is less cream and more green but they’re equally as delicious, if not more.
Castelroc
Restaurant, French
Café de Paris
Restaurant, European
This iconic brasserie can’t be beaten if you want to tuck into gorgeous local and regional cuisine in an atmospheric setting. Located across the way from the Principality’s famous casino, Café de Paris is exactly where you want to be for people-watching and general Monaco frolicking.
Quai des Artistes
Restaurant, Mediterranean, French, European
Quai des Artistes lies right at Monaco’s Hercule port, the perfect place for watching the world (and the super yachts) meander on by. Seafood is the preferred dish here, and both the outside terrace and rich, traditional internal rooms make for relaxed settings to feast. Even though this restaurant occupies a popular spot, it never feels too overrun with tourists. Finally, for Monaco, it is very reasonably priced with lunch menus starting from €23.50.
Yoshi
Bar, Restaurant, Japanese, Sushi, Asian
La Montgolfière
Restaurant, Mediterranean, French
One of the highlights of La Montgolfière is its old Monaco charm, just 200 metres from the Royal Palace in the historic centre. The three-dish menu is €48 and the four-dish menu is €55 – both of which chef local Henri Geraci concocts with regional flare.
