This is the place for any cheese lover. Huge selection of cheeses even some local one from Sosper and Peille. Lovely and authentic deco inside. Staff is very knowledge and you will learn more about cheese than you have ever before. Everyone should try the sample plate which contains 10 different cheeses and totals half a kilo. Wine selection is good too. This place is simply amazing experience!

My husband and I had a wonderfully memorable meal at Le Grill during a 30th anniversary trip to Provence. This restaurant had been highly recommended and did not disappoint! The atmosphere was lovely. It didn't hurt that we were seated on the balcony, thus having a front row view of the rising full moon over the sea! Staff were extremely professional and knowledgable while at the same time surprisingly un-stuffy. Our main server, Nicholas, was spot-on perfect in every respect, even encouraging me to come and say hello to one of the chefs and making inquiries for us when I asked what ingredients were included in the best salad I have ever eaten. The food was beautifully plated and every course was a delight. Dessert included a congratulatory message written on the plate in chocolate. We could not have asked for a better experience and we highly recommend Le Grill for any special occasion!

Reviewed By IanFishwick

Some restaurants when they win their 2nd Michelin star, make the mistake of concentrating on demonstrating their technique and presentation, rather than the taste of their food. Joel Robuchon gets it right.What a nice change to see a 2 Michelin star restaurant have the old-fashioned dessert trolley with superb examples of many classic desserts.We were having a great time until a little white pot with a white lid arrived. We removed the lid to reveal glossy mashed potatoes. She took a forkful. I took a forkful. We burst out laughing it was so good. She took another forkful. I took another forkful. Shen then picked up a spoon. I glared ate her. She grabbed the pot and ate the rest greedily; scraping the pot clean.Gee, I used to love that daughter ;)Absolutely sublime food and service.Dear Sir, Thank you so much for dedicating some time to share your emotion after your experience at our Joel Robuchon restaurant. We are enchant to read your experience was “sublime” thanks our cuisine, our trolleys and our service. The objective of Chef Christophe Cussac and all our team is to provide a lovely memory to our guests so we are delighted that it worked for you. Looking forward to welcoming you back very soon. Yours sincerely, Olivier Lot Hotel Manager

Valentin

A small and hidden place in the heart of Monte Carlo - warm, white, essential - where you can taste the flavours of a real Italian kitchen, maybe fall in love with a glass of wine and spend some joyful time sitting at the table. Serving Italian breakfast

Reviewed By Princygirl

This restaurant was lovely and delicious. This tiny Italian restaurant is located in the heart of Monaco, inside a shopping mall in a very private, reserved part of it! It had great reviews here, so we decided to try it and absolutely happy we did so! Apparently the menu changes every day, and we were lucky enough the day we visited, to have 'Paccheri Bolognese' - a type of pasta in the shape of a very large tube, originating from Campania with the 'Bolognese sauce' a meat-based sauce in Italian cuisine, typical of the city of Bologna. It was sublime!! We also ordered 'Carpaccio Bresaola' a beef fillet which is first cured in salt and spices, and then hung to dry. We paid Euro 41,00 that for us it was perfectly fine - not necessarily too expensive, but again we live in London so the prices are similar. Value: 10/10 If you visit Monaco, trust me, you need to try it!

Le comptoir

Reviewed By juhahi

Recommended by our Airbnb host and holding first position in TripAdvisor for Cap d'Ail - definitely has to be tested. And it was good, we were early but later there came more and more people. Had a shared signature starter which was maybe a bit bland, but not bad. The signature burger was very good. Wine list was short but had enough to choose from, mostly French wines.Worth it if you are in the area!

Reviewed By Mitchell B

Ok. So i stumbled across this absolute gem of an establishment when i was hunting down a different restaurant. The other place was full which lead me down the road to this welcoming and cosy safw haven from the harsh streets of Monaco....sure. After about half a second of meeting the owner i recognised that ever distinguishable 'Aussie' accent. A fellow kangaroo fighter? What are the odds. He was more than accommodating for my Coeliac partner as we ordered our absolute degustation of goodness. A welcomed surprise restaurant that suits the age old story that indeed good things do come in small packages.

Even though there is only two people they were both really friendly and welcoming.I had the summer salad starter and it was so fresh and delicious.We both had the beef as a main course which was sublime, chocolate and berries for dessert were also amazing The restaurant food is amazing quality and well priced.Lovely location in the old town, also the owners dog is super cute :-)

Beaulieu-sur-Mer is blessed with great restaurants but this is a gem.The interior is modern high end bistro and the food is sublime. I will remember the amazing buffalo mozzarella with finely chopped vegetables forever. This was only a starter but set the scene for a memorable evening of fabulous food and fine wine - I can highly recommend the Argentinian Malbec Rewen. Sacrilage I know in a country that produces the best wine bar none!!We chose fillet of beef for the main course and this was beautiful, done very simply and garnished with vegetables and a small jus. Only the French know how how to make bread and this was plentiful throughout the meal.Whilst we were full I just had to squeeze in a dessert and I’m so glad I did. The poached pear was one of the nicest I’ve had - and that includes many Michelin restaurants.The staff are friendly, helpful and happy to explain the dishes. My only wish is that we were in Beaulieu-sur-Mer a little longer in order to pay another visit. I highly recommend dining here, food and wine fabulous and there’s a lovely buzzy atmosphere.
