My favourite places:
Three Restaurants:
The NOBU, the world's most recognized Japanese restaurant is a new trendy experience in Monte-Carlo, with his famous Chef Nobuyuki Matruhisa for dining in a smart but calm atmosphere.
For meat specialities, BEEF BAR Restaurant is the popular place in Fontvieille Harbour.
With a panoramic view overlooking the whole city and close to the Exotic Garden, La Chaumière is a Meridional/Traditional French Brasserie with sea view terrace.
Three Lounges, clubs:
Near the famous Grimaldi Forum, Le Zelos, restaurant, lounge bar and club is centrally placed on the seafront and the perfect venue for a night out.
The Black Legend is an additional bar & lounge in the Monte-Carlo scene. This is the place to go for those who like blues or jazz music with tapas and champagne in plenty served all night in this modern-vintage setting, this is one more night experience with its expansive terrace giving spectacular views over the harbour.
Located on the Harbour, La Rascasse offers three different atmospheres: cosy afternoon, happy hours & live music with finger food and rocking group for Clubbing Bar on the first floor.
Three Hotspots:
Oceanographic Museum: You can be delighted by the visit of this Temple of the Sea, Science and Culture localised on the Roc – Monaco Old Town where the Prince’s Palace is located. It has also an educational vocation, through its remarkable Aquarium where it can further assert its capacity as a venue for exchanges and colloquia on the indispensable protection of marine environments.
Situated on the famous Casino Square, Café de Paris provides a view of passing limousines and sports cars, and serves all day from breakfast to dinner. You can enjoy an exciting cocktail before trying your luck at the famous Casino de Monte-Carlo, or you can spend a few hours dining and clubbing at Buddha Bar, sampling some exotic delicacies.
Grimaldi Forum is usually used for your events (conventions, congress & meetings, congress dinners, exhibitions) this building is built on the sea front and is one of the first European congress centres with environmental certification. Also major summer exhibition and classical or contemporary art enjoyed immense success among the public and media.
