Eat, drink, and be merry in the Principality!

Monaco is home to a plethora of sumptuous Michelin-starred gastronomic restaurants that need no introduction, such as the Louis XV d’Alain Ducasse, the Blue Bay, Les Ambassadeurs by Christophe Cussac, and La Table D’Antonio to name but a few.

But there are other wonderful eateries that may have escaped your notice, and are well worth a visit! So to ensure you don’t miss a morsel of the best food and drink Monaco has to offer, make a note to look up the following addresses.

Sun-kissed dining experiences...
