Words don’t do this place justice. I was absolutely blown away by the beauty of the architecture and internal design on the ceilings. Honestly it gets better the further in you explore. We opted to get a Casino ticket to have a look around and had a bit of fun on the slot machines. I just couldn’t stop looking up at the ceiling. The designs are honestly beautiful. It’s definitely worth seeing if you like a visual feast.

It is a lovely and well decorated place. Yet, they have a 20€ entry fee which is completely ridiculous. They trade on their reputation. I have been to dozens of casinos in different parts of the world that have fine art, beautul decor, and they welcome you without a tourist fee. There are lots of slot machines which definitely detract from the ambiance. The views in Monte Carlos lovely.

I only spend few minutes in front and got what I came for. Many nice cars passing around ! Just be careful not to block them and be respectful. The casino is also very beautiful from the outside, I haven’t tried my luck to go in.

A famous casino where many luxury cars are often parked in the plaza. To enter the main lobby, there’s a simple bag check. Inside, you’ll find a service counter — appropriate attire, a passport, and the minimum exchange amount for chips are required to enter the casino. The souvenir shop inside the lobby is also worth a visit. Good luck. 🎰

It is very luxury place and The Casino de Monte-Carlo is a legendary entertainment complex known for its opulent Belle Époque architecture. Designed by Charles Garnier, who also created the Paris Opera, it features stunning frescoes, sculptures, and gaming rooms. Since its 1863 opening, the casino's success was pivotal in solidifying Monaco's wealth, allowing Prince Charles III to eliminate taxes for residents. The complex also includes the prestigious Opéra de Monte-Carlo. Immortalized in James Bond films like GoldenEye, the venue remains a glamorous destination, though Monaco citizens are forbidden from gambling inside.

It was an experience. Absolutely stunning architecture all over. So grand inside. A must visit place if in Monaco. The entire casino is so special. Monegasques are forbidden to enter , work or gamble here. Designed by the famous architect of the Paris Opera. Foreigners just need to pay a fee of Euro 20 ... 10 euro entrance fee and 10 euro voucher for a drink or u cud use the voucher to gamble. Please dress smart to enter. We did however win 11 euro just for fun. The building will be lighted up at sunset. Which makes nice photography shots. Also many beautiful supercars parked in front to add to yr beautiful photos. Remember to list this place in your bucket list.

I’ve been coming here every few years since childhood and the experience has stayed remarkably consistent. The service is attentive and professional, though at times it can feel a little formal. Portions are far more generous than you’d expect for a place in the heart of Monte Carlo dishes come out looking grand and are plated with style. The onion soup was one of the best and one plate of tiramisu probably can be for 6 people. Although food is good it’s not somewhere you come for culinary surprises, but rather for the atmosphere, the setting on the square, and the sense of tradition

I am impressed for both atmosphere and taste of food. We took oysters and salmon steak. Especially salmon steak had a special sauce with lemon and coconut which was impressive - I kept continue to eat the sauce with bread. Special attention to oysters, I would expect to have them cut and able to slide in sauce but it was not. It is also kids friendly - they have different main dishes + deserts option for the kids younger than 12. My daughter loved the beef steak and ice cream. Service was also kind and friendly. If you are in Monaco, this is the place to visit and eat once at least :)

Had an absolute wonderful time having lunch here! The food tasted amazing, would recommend the octopus and the tender pork loin. The service was great too and this restaurant has a beautiful ambience! Must try out this restaurant if you’re ever in Monaco!!

Cafe de Paris enjoys a truly fabulous location, right in the heart of the casino district. Sitting outside is a unique experience, where you can people-watch and admire the parade of luxury cars passing by. However, note that the outdoor area only offers café service, and on hot days you may need to wait quite a while to get a table. Inside, the atmosphere is air-conditioned and very luxurious, but during peak season it can get extremely crowded — sometimes it takes around 15 minutes just to place an order or get service from a waiter. The food itself is decent, tasty enough, but nothing particularly exceptional or memorable. At the end of the day, what you are really paying for here is the glamorous design and the unbeatable location.

My husband and I dined here when visiting Monaco. We dined inside of the restaurant, the decor is beautiful and truly gives you that luxurious experience. There is a patio area outside with a separate menu. Everything we ordered was delicious, we had zero complaints. Our waiter was attentive and our food came out in a timely manner. We will visit again when visiting Monaco.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely stunning place! Cafe de Paris didn’t disappoint from start to finish. We were warmly welcomed at the door and even allowed to choose the table we wanted. The desserts and coffee were absolutely delicious, and the view and atmosphere were just amazing. The staff were so friendly and kind—made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend!

Wanted to see interior of the hotel to spot celebrity lol. Ground none. Located close to casino where expensive cars are parked. Staff for friendly as we just wanted something to drink. We ordered coffee which was good

Princess Grace Japanese Garden is a peaceful and beautifully designed place in Monaco. The mix of water, trees, and traditional Japanese style creates a relaxing atmosphere. A perfect spot to take a walk, enjoy nature, and escape the busy city for a while.”

🍃 Japanese Garden, Monaco – A living poem of peace and balance The Japanese Garden in Monaco is one of those places where time seems to slow down. Everything here — the water, the stones, the bridges, the sound of the wind — feels perfectly balanced. It’s a small sanctuary right in the heart of the city, yet it holds the calm of a mountain temple. Every path seems to tell a story. The koi fish move gracefully in the pond, the bamboo rustles softly, and the reflections of the trees shimmer like thoughts passing through the mind. This garden isn’t meant to be rushed — it’s meant to be felt. If you love mindfulness, design, or simply need a pause from the city’s rhythm, this is the place to visit. Spend a few minutes sitting by the water, breathe deeply, and you’ll feel how peace naturally returns to you. I’ve visited many meditation spaces, but the Japanese Garden in Monaco has a unique vibration — it’s not just beauty you see, it’s serenity you feel. 🍃✨

Nice garden but never expected the water to be so dirty. I entered coz I knew that there would or should be a good collection of koi’s, which are present in every Japanese garden. But was totally disappointed.. come to my house & see the kois you will love them. I have put one video of my kois too the clean pond is mine… please check. The stone lay outs I liked & the stand for birds to bathe is beautiful too. But sadly not Japanese way of cleanliness.

Japanese Grace Garden in Monte Carlo is peaceful, spacious, and beautifully maintained. Everything feels clean and perfectly arranged, making it a serene escape in the heart of the city. It's very beautiful

Very pretty!! A nice place to walk around and relax in after all the walking up & down Monaco 😅

Beautiful and peaceful garden that is free to visit in Monaco. Great place to grab lunch and have a picnic.

Le Jardin Japonais is one of the most peaceful spots in Monaco. It’s not very large, but it’s incredibly well maintained and beautifully arranged — every detail feels intentional. The mix of water, stones, plants, and wooden bridges creates a truly calming atmosphere. You can hear the sound of the water, watch the koi fish, and just take a quiet moment away from the busy city. It’s also a lovely place for photos or a short, refreshing walk. A perfect little escape in the heart of Monaco — serene, elegant, and full of charm. Definitely worth a visit!

My evening at Pavyllon Monte-Carlo was nothing short of extraordinary. Even though I arrived a bit late for my reservation, the warmth and attentiveness of the staff made me feel instantly welcome, setting the tone for a truly memorable dining experience. Opting for the chef’s menu turned out to be an inspired choice. It allowed me to indulge in a unique variety of dishes I may not have otherwise selected, each one crafted with meticulous precision and bursting with bold, harmonious flavors. Every plate was an incredible culinary delight, reflecting both innovation and refined technique. Beyond the exceptional food, the staff’s thoughtfulness and accommodating nature truly stood out. Whether offering to retrieve my purse from the restroom or capturing a few photos for me at the end of the meal, their genuine hospitality elevated the experience far beyond just fine dining—it felt personal, effortless, and beautifully curated. The restaurant’s location, overlooks the sea and the iconic Formula 1 race track, which provided an unforgettable backdrop that enhanced every moment, making the evening feel as special as the setting itself. For those seeking an exquisite blend of culinary artistry, unparalleled service, and a stunning ambiance, Pavyllon Monte-Carlo is the perfect destination. A truly unforgettable gastronomic journey!

Lovely restaurant inside the Hermitage Hotel. Has a large outdoor balcony that overlooks all of Monte Carlo’s harbor. Food is Mediterranean and is quite good with a nice variety. I had the Foul And my wife had the Lamb. Service was good and the waitstaff was Very attentive and friendly. For a Michelin Star restaurant and its location we found the prices to be very reasonable. Would certainly eat here again

The food was too heavy for me that I felt sick. The opening course of the amuse-bouche was pretty good, and so was the bread. The crab appetizer was surprising and had really fun textures. The pasta with peas tasted really weird, it was almost like vinegary. After the seabass course with the almond milk I felt so nauseated the food felt too filling that I was feeling sick. They kept on serving me food that was way too thick, creamy, and filling that by the lamb course, I felt I wanted to throw up just smelling it. I usually always try to finish my food or at least try a bite during tasting menus. I had a taste of the mashed potato and it was okay but at that point I was close to gagging I couldn’t even try the lamb. They still served me both the desserts even though I told them I couldn’t do it anymore. On the way out to the restaurant I was gagging and I threw up in the bathroom (and cried obviously because I spent my hard earned money to feel sick). I was solo dining and I really had my hopes up. I wish the waiters were more attentive because I came out of this restaurant paying 288 USD just to feel so nauseated, sick and to throw up. There was no lightness/freshness between the dishes. Maybe I’ll come back in a couple years if they change their menu and it looks like there’s more balance. Other than that, the ambience was nice with the open view and the open kitchen — but it was too noisy at one point I couldn’t hear the servers describing the dish to me and whenever I told them anything they couldn’t hear properly.

We went for dinner without a reservation, even though reservations are highly recommended. Despite this, the management went out of their way to accommodate us, which we truly appreciated. The restaurant itself is absolutely stunning. the terrace overlooks a beautiful bay filled with luxury yachts. overall ambiance and aesthetics are simply unmatched. Both the food and the service were excellent. We tried several different dishes, and everything was delicious. The shrimp tartare stood out as my personal favorite. A memorable dining experience from start to finish.

Pavyllon Monte-Carlo. A one‑Michelin‑star restaurant by Chef Yannick Alléno in Hermitage Hotel in Monte Carlo. The restaurant features an open kitchen with a tasting‑counter. The garden patio with a view of the sea is a bonus when with our permits. In terms of food, the offering is French cuisine using innovative methods like cold extraction. Desserts were excellent and not heavy on sugar.

food, service & atmosphere were phenomenal never dined to such a beautiful view, having the yachts to watch in between dishes is something i’ll always remember fantastic lunch spot to celebrate my 26th birthday, pleasure meeting you all!

Pavyllon, the restaurant by Yannick Allèno, located in Beaumarchais, is one of the most refined dining experience in Monaco in a chic atmosphere. Rino Siconolfi Instagram rino_siconolfi

Well, lunch at Quai des Artistes was another level. Truly exceptional service, unbelievably gorgeous food, (that was far more than just a Club sandwich...), in an iconic location, and with a couple Formula 1 World Champions on a nearby table, (they were good enough not to come over and disturb us 😉). Not a bad way to spend lunchtime on your wedding anniversary...

Never could thought that tomato can be so tasty! Food was amazing, place is very nice and service was good though could be bit better. I would go there again.

We dined at a fabulous table on the Quai, looking out at Port Hercule. The location and view on the terrace is very difficult to beat. As always, the seafood was great - the oyster tasting platter, Malaysian prawns and King Crab come highly recommended. The mains were also very good - I particularly enjoyed the rib eye steak which was cooked perfectly. For desert the Mille-Feuille was nice but a little underwhelming. However the ice cream received good feedback! We experienced a couple of small issues with the service - the waiter brought out my fiancées cold main after the rest of the table who had ordered hot mains. They then also forgot her side of vegetables which took around 5 minutes to arrive which by then she was already halfway through her meal. And when they did finally arrive there was no hint of an apology! This same waiter also made it plain that a tip was expected upon handing over the bill, going as far to advise a percentage. We always leave a tip - there’s no need to be direct and cheeky about it especially as his service was far from flawless. Everybody else’s service however was great - especially the helpful moustached front of house/manager who confirmed our booking! The food is great, an excellent location and at a reasonable price point for Monaco - we will return.

The service was excellent and we loved the decor. The portions were larger than we expected and we would have liked the option of a half portion so we would have room for dessert 😊. I had the lamb shank with mashed potatoes. The lamb was delicious but the potatoes could have been fluffier. The gluten-free bread was very good.

We ate here in the evening of June 10th, 2025. The service was perfect, the view was great, and the live DJ played excellent music. However, after returning to the hotel a few hours later that night, I suffered from food poisoning. I couldn’t eat or do anything the entire next day. It was so sad, as I really liked the service. But the food poisoning ruined the experience for me — so only one star. :(

Great food, I even had the best ravioli I ever had! Very kind staff, and good vibes. Only improvement I have is that it would have been nice if there were heaters at the terrace because it was a bit cold in the evening.

Tucked away among superyachts on the quai is a delightful stop for very good dining in a beautiful setting for traditional French cuisine. The service was perfect, the food was delicious, and a truly great escape from the noise at the Monte Carlo square/Ferraris/Porsches/ and Lamborghinis and hundreds of selfies. Makes the visit to this mecca a real treat.
