Fathom Favorites : Monaco Restaurants

1. One Apple

A perfect rest stop for an afternoon latte break or an aperitif in a contemporary setting. Fresh Italian design is in the details, from the bulbous chinoiserie chairs to the neon handles of the espresso cups. 

32 Quai Jean-Charles Rey
, 98000

2. Beefbar

A sleek and masculine space designed for meat-eaters: steak is the specialty. The crowd is hip — but not too hip — and it's roomy. The owners also run popular Italian spot La Salére a few doors down.

42 Quai Jean-Charles Rey
Monaco, 98000

3. La Cantine at A'Trego

Philippe Starck strikes again with a beachy interior inside an unsuspecting building along the port. There's a perfect 25-euro lunch on weekdays; a table in the sunroom is the one to reserve. Keep your eye out for special wine and cheese nights.

Port de Cap d'Ail
, 06320

4. Tip Top

If you'd like a break from high-society dining, throw on your loafers and order pizza and a beer at this homey, welcoming spot (it's been around since 1938) where you don't need a reservation. 

11 Ave. des Spélugues
, 98000

5. Prince's Tea

Stop at this boulangerie for pastries (pain au chocolat, fruit tarts) and teas on a silver banquette with trompe-l'œil trees overhead.

26 Ave. de la Costa
, 98000

6. Eat Juice

Two small sister outposts are conveniently located next to morning markets. Order a fresh-pressed juice with your favorite combination of fruits or a light and healthy lunch of lentils and hummus. There are a few tables available, but it's nice to order on the go for drinking en plein air.

3 Ave. Saint Charles
Monaco, 98000

7. Mozza

A warm and bustling Italian bistro with an impressive back room filled with wine and spirits. Order from the adorable menu of cutlets or share salumi and cocktails while perched on a tufted banquette.

11 Rue de Portier
Monaco, 98000

8. Restaurant Joel Robuchon

Plan on making a reservation at the two-Michelin star restaurant at least a week in advance. For something more low-key, go for lunch or ask for a bar seat facing the open kitchen.

4 Ave. de la Madone
, 98007
