Where to Eat, What to Try, and Why I Keep Returning
I absolutely adore Monaco. Its perfectly manicured streets, sparkling coastline, and sense of safety always draw me back, multiple times a year. During the summer months, it’s the place I simply cannot miss. I love strolling along the waterfront, indulging in shopping, and of course, discovering all the incredible spots to enjoy food, drinks, and breathtaking views. Over the years, I’ve found a few restaurants that have become my absolute favourites, and I’m excited to share them with you.
1. Beefbar
Beefbar is without a doubt my number-one indulgence in Monaco. It’s more than just a restaurant; it’s an experience. The food is exquisite, from perfectly cooked Wagyu to beautifully prepared French cuts. I love the casual yet chic atmosphere, and the location right by the marina is simply stunning. Every time I visit, I leave feeling completely satisfied – both from the food and the gorgeous views.
2. GAIA
GAIA is my go-to spot for Greek-Mediterranean flavours. I enjoy trying a variety of dishes here, from the watermelon feta to prawns and a classic Greek salad, and I always make sure to finish with the frozen yoghurt for dessert – it’s truly something special. The restaurant does attract tourists, but for me, it’s part of its cheerful charm, and I always enjoy the vibrant, sunlit atmosphere.
3. Crazy Pizza
Crazy Pizza is perfect when I’m in the mood for something relaxed and fun. The pizzas are comforting, the vibe is laid-back, and it’s a great place to enjoy a casual meal without fuss. I love coming here when I just want to unwind and enjoy a slice by the sea.

4. COYA
COYA is full of life and energy. I love their terrace overlooking the Mediterranean -it’s perfect for sunset cocktails. The Peruvian-inspired menu is bold and exciting, with dishes like ceviches, tuna with ponzu, spicy octopus, and grilled lamb chops. Every visit feels vibrant and celebratory, and it’s a place I always leave feeling inspired and happy.
5. Cipriani
Capriani is where I go when I want a calm, elegant meal by the harbour. I absolutely adore their sea bass – it’s always cooked to perfection. The atmosphere is serene, the service impeccable, and the views make every bite even better.

6. Rampoldi
The classic Italian dishes, combined with the refined yet welcoming setting, make it perfect for a special evening. I always feel completely at home here, enjoying the flavours and the elegant yet relaxed vibe. And you know how much I love pizza and truffle pasta – they are absolutely delicious here!
