Selected entries from the current guide for Monaco.
Monaco, Monaco
Three Michelin stars held continuously, a 99-point La Liste score in 2026, and a position in the top 15 of OAD Classical Europe: Louis XV has anchored the upper tier of Riviera dining since 1987. The kitchen works within a strictly Provençal and Mediterranean frame, drawing ingredients from the surrounding hinterland, while a cellar of 350,000 bottles and 1,000 selections places the wine program among the more serious on the Côte d'Azur.
Monaco, Monaco
Blue Bay Marcel Ravin holds two Michelin stars and an 89-point La Liste score at Monaco's Monte-Carlo Bay Hotel, where a plant-forward creative menu draws on Ravin's Martiniquais roots. The signature 'De Nos Jardins' format channels produce from the chef's own vegetable garden into a menu shaped by Creole tradition and Mediterranean context. Rated Notable by La Liste in 2026 and a member of Les Grandes Tables du Monde.
Monaco, Monaco
Two Michelin stars and an 85-point La Liste ranking place L'Abysse Monte-Carlo among the Principality's most decorated addresses. Housed in the Hôtel Hermitage, the restaurant frames Japanese cuisine through a Franco-European lens, with a beverage programme that positions sake alongside a cellar of serious depth. For a city that runs on spectacle, it is a notably disciplined room.
Monaco, Monaco
Les Ambassadeurs by Christophe Cussac holds two Michelin stars and an 83-point La Liste score, placing it firmly within Monte Carlo's top tier of modern cuisine. Located at 4 Avenue de la Madone, the restaurant operates where classical French discipline meets the refined expectations of one of Europe's most demanding dining markets. For a considered meal in the Principality, it sits alongside a short list of comparable addresses.
Monaco, Monaco
Le Grill sits atop the Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo on the Place du Casino, holding a Michelin star in consecutive years (2024 and 2025) and a 620-label wine list carrying a Star Wine List White Star recognition. The kitchen works a Mediterranean register under Chef Dominique Lory, while Wine Director Mathias Negro oversees one of Monaco's more serious cellar programs, weighted toward Champagne, Bordeaux, and Burgundy.
Monaco, Monaco
Yannick Alléno's Michelin-starred counter restaurant occupies a considered position inside the Hermitage Hotel, bringing the plant-forward, low-sugar approach that earned recognition in Paris to Monaco's premium dining tier. Open seven days across lunch and dinner, the tasting counter and Mediterranean garden patio together frame a meal sequence built around seasonal produce, seafood, and the Côte d'Azur's own larder. Rated Notable by Michelin's 2024 guide.
Monaco, Monaco
Monte-Carlo Beach's organic terrace restaurant overlooks the Mediterranean from a seafront perch on the French-Monaco border. Marcel Ravin's ingredient-focused kitchen draws from French Riviera markets and estate gardens, interpreting Provençal and Caribbean influences through an organic certification standard seldom found at this latitude.
Monaco, Monaco
Tucked within Rampoldi’s former cigar lounge, La Table d’Antonio Salvatore is an intimate five-table sanctuary where contemporary Italian cuisine evolves with precise precision. Chef Antonio Salvatore, born in Basilicata and seasoned across Spain, England, and Russia, composes a tasting journey that marries Riviera terroir with southern Italian soul. Polished sourcing—from small producers around Menton and San Remo to prized ingredients from the south of Italy—anchors a menu of refined signatures, such as bottoni di vitello tonnato, slow-cooked cabri dodici ore, and a decadent texture di cioccolato. Here, service is hushed and attentive, the rhythm of the evening unhurried, and every plate a study in flavor, craft, and grace. For those seeking a more relaxed tempo, the adjacent brasserie presents modernized classics that echo the same disciplined elegance.
Monaco, Monaco
Robuchon Monaco belongs to the polished Larvotto-side version of Monte Carlo dining, where Riviera produce, hotel-level service culture, and international luxury habits meet within a compact principality. Its position by Boulevard du Larvotto and the Japanese Garden makes it a useful lens on Monaco’s preference for high-control rooms, precise sourcing, and cuisine that reads Mediterranean even when the reference points travel further.
Monaco, Monaco
Yoshi at the Hotel Métropole brings Japanese technique to Monaco's grand-hotel dining circuit, where premium ingredients and fusion-inflected cooking have earned a Michelin Plate in 2025. Chef Takeo Yamazaki adapts the menu for an international clientele without abandoning precision: black cod marinated in sake, kombu-shrimp preparations, and sushi sit alongside each other in a sleek, sophisticated room at 4 Avenue de la Madone.
Monaco, Monaco
Beefbar Monaco holds a Michelin Plate (2025) and sits at 42 Quai Jean-Charles Rey, positioning itself as the anchor property in a multi-city group founded in 2005. The menu works across USDA Prime, Australian Wagyu, and Japanese Kobe beef, wet- and dry-aged and finished on a high-temperature broiler. Price range is €€€, a tier below Monaco's multi-starred competition.
Monaco, Monaco
Em Sherif brings the generous, table-filling tradition of Lebanese hospitality to the Hotel de Paris Monte-Carlo, where mezze culture meets the principality's appetite for grand gestures. Holding a Michelin Plate and ranked in Opinionated About Dining's top 25 for 2025, it represents one formally appointed expression of Lebanese cooking on the Côte d'Azur.
Monaco, Monaco
A Michelin Plate-recognised address on Rue du Portier, La Table d'Élise brings Provençal cooking into Monaco's dense fine-dining corridor without matching the price tier of its starred neighbours. Holding consecutive Michelin Plate recognitions in 2024 and 2025, it sits in the city-state's mid-to-upper range, serious enough to reward attention, accessible enough to serve as a counterpoint to the principality's three- and two-starred rooms.
Monaco, Monaco
Among Monaco's premium dining addresses, Song Qi holds a Michelin Plate (2025) for its broad sweep of Chinese cuisine served in a composed, material-led interior opposite the Grimaldi Forum. The menu spans Peking-style soups and crispy dim sum through to whole-table sharing formats, priced at the €€€ tier, notably below the €€€€ benchmark that defines most of the Principality's recognised restaurants. Advance booking is advisable.
Monaco, Monaco
Positioned directly on the Place du Casino, Café de Paris sits at the geographic and social centre of Monte Carlo's dining scene. Holding a Michelin Plate in 2025, it serves traditional cuisine at the €€€ price point, making it one of the more accessible addresses on a square otherwise framed by three- and two-starred competition.
Monaco, Monaco
La Dame at Silver Shadow in Monte Carlo occupies a distinct position among the principality's seasonal French tables, drawing its name and culinary allegiance from Paris's Eiffel Tower. A rotating multi-course menu anchored in French gastronomic tradition places it alongside Monte Carlo's most considered fine-dining rooms, with a residential address on Rue du Gabian that puts it outside the main casino-district concentration.
Monaco, Monaco
On a narrow lane in Monaco City's old town, La Montgolfière-Henri Geraci operates at a scale that sets it apart from the principality's grander dining rooms. The cooking draws on regional Provençal and Mediterranean sourcing traditions, placing it firmly in the category of restaurants where the ingredient chain matters as much as the technique. For visitors working through Monaco's dining options, it represents the quieter, more considered end of the spectrum.
Monaco, Monaco
Marius sits on Quai Antoine-1er, where Monaco's port meets the Provençal coastline tradition, earning a Michelin Plate in 2025. The kitchen draws from the same southern French larder that defines the Côte d'Azur's most serious tables, positioning it as a mid-tier entry point into Monaco's competitive dining scene without the four-figure price tags of its neighbours.
Monaco, Monaco
Thai cooking in Monaco occupies a narrow niche, and MayaBay at Le Rocabella holds the Michelin Plate recognition that confirms its place at the summit of that field.
Monaco, Monaco
The Grill aboard Silver Origin operates as the expedition ship's open-air dining centerpiece, known for its interactive 'Hot Rocks' cooking format using lava stones heated to 750°F. Lunch pivots to a Galapagos Seafood Market format with ultra-fresh Ecuadorian catch. Wine Director Andi Caruso oversees a 130-selection list with around 2,000 bottles in inventory, including a curated range of Ecuadorian wines.
Monaco, Monaco
The menu sits at the €€€ tier, making it one of the more accessible serious Italian addresses in a principality where the price ceiling runs considerably higher. For visitors working through Monte Carlo's Italian options, it offers a reference point grounded in Ligurian cooking.
Monaco, Monaco
Amazónico brings its Amazon-sourced ingredient philosophy to Place du Casino, positioning itself as Monaco's most theatrically lush tropical dining room in a principality otherwise defined by French and Italian haute cuisine. The concept draws on Latin American pantry traditions, from Peruvian chillies to Brazilian cuts, and lands in a dining scene where provenance-led menus are increasingly expected rather than novel.
Monaco, Monaco
On Fontvieille's quieter quayside, Amici Miei occupies a position that Monaco's more theatrical dining addresses rarely do: genuinely neighbourhood in character, with an Italian-inflected kitchen that draws on the Ligurian and Provençal sourcing traditions that have shaped cooking along this coastline for generations. It is the kind of address that rewards those who look past the principality's headline restaurants.
Monaco, Monaco
Amù Monte Carlo belongs to the Mediterranean side of Monaco dining: polished, ingredient-led, and shaped by the daily traffic between the port, Italy, and the Côte d’Azur. With few public details on chef, awards, or pricing, the smarter read is contextual: go for a Monte Carlo table where sourcing, Riviera seasonality, and the Condamine-adjacent setting matter more than spectacle.

Monaco, Monaco
A Belle Époque palace hotel in Monte Carlo where architecture, dining and casino culture converge at unusually high concentration. Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo carries heavyweight recognition, including La Liste Top Hotels 2026 at 99 points and World’s 50 Best Hotels 2025 at No. 36, with Alain Ducasse’s Louis XV and Le Grill anchoring its restaurant gravity.
Monaco, Monaco
Hotel Metropole, Monte-Carlo is the Carré d'Or grand-hotel choice for travelers who read design as part of the itinerary. Jacques Garcia's interiors, Karl Lagerfeld's pool setting, a 125-room scale, and serious in-house dining place it between Monaco palace formality and a more private Riviera address.
Monaco, Monaco
Built in the early 1900s and anchored by a Gustave Eiffel-designed cupola in its Winter Garden, Hôtel Hermitage Monte-Carlo occupies a distinct position among Monaco's grand palace hotels. It scores 96.5 points on La Liste Top Hotels 2026 and holds a Gault & Millau Exceptional Hotel designation, with two Michelin-starred restaurants, a 75,000-square-foot spa, and direct access to a private beach club on the Mediterranean.
Monaco, Monaco
Designed as a peninsula extending into the Mediterranean along Avenue Princesse Grace, Monte-Carlo Bay Hotel & Resort operates as the principality's resort-scaled alternative to its palace-hotel tier. With 334 sea-view rooms, direct lagoon access to the Larvotto nature reserve, three restaurants under chef Marcel Ravin, and official host status for the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters, it occupies a distinct position in Monaco's compressed luxury market. Google-rated 4.6 across more than 3,200 reviews.
Monaco, Monaco
Columbus Monte-Carlo, part of Hilton's Curio Collection and recognised by the Michelin hotel selection for 2025, occupies a quieter residential corner of Monaco away from the casino quarter's most saturated blocks. The property takes a design-conscious, contemporary approach that places it in a different register from the principality's palace-scale grand hotels, appealing to travellers who want Monaco access without the full ceremony of its most formal addresses.
Monaco, Monaco
The Fairmont Monte Carlo occupies one of La Condamine's most prominent addresses, rising above the principality's coastline at 12 Avenue des Spélugues. It operates at the scale that defines Monaco's larger luxury hotel tier, with amenities oriented toward both leisure travellers and the conference and events market. For visitors comparing Monaco's hotel options, it represents a different proposition from the smaller, more intimate properties that define the principality's upper echelon.
Monaco, Monaco
Port Palace Hôtel occupies a distinct position in Monaco's hotel hierarchy: a boutique property on Avenue J.F. Kennedy that sits apart from the principality's grand palace-scale institutions. With the Mediterranean within reach and the Grand Prix circuit as a near-neighbour, it offers an intimate scale that the larger Monaco addresses cannot match. For travellers who find the monolithic resort format too anonymous, Port Palace provides a calibrated alternative.

At the foot of the Fairmont Monte Carlo on Avenue des Spélugues, Nikki Beach Monte Carlo occupies a position where the principality's appetite for sun-soaked leisure intersects with a globally recognised beach club format. The setting pulls hard toward spectacle: white daybeds, poolside service, and the Mediterranean framing every sightline. It sits in a distinct tier from Monaco's Michelin-decorated dining rooms, operating as a social venue rather than a gastronomic one.

Champagne Royal Rivera is a Monte Carlo champagne house presentation built around Riviera identity and Épernay production. Its appeal sits in the tension between Mediterranean branding and Champagne AOC discipline: Grand Cru sourcing, traditional-method production, a 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay Brut Suprême, and non-vintage Brut aged for three years.
