Saphir 24, Monte-Carlo bar

1. Saphir 24 Bistro Lounge, Restaurant & Bar

Location
Monaco

The relaxed atmosphere and sublime vista make it the perfect spot to enjoy, 24 hours a day, according to your rhythm and fancy...

For breakfast and for lunch or dinner with a “bistro-chic” menu and for a trendy afternoon enjoy their "Fourtea" time, a selection of teas, pastries and gossip!

This bar and lounge is open seven days a week, 24 hours a day.

La Rascasse

2. La Rascasse Nightclub

Location
Monaco

This brasserie serves Mediterranean cuisine to a F1 following, sitting perfectly on the Rascasse corner of the circuit and offering a fine position from which to support the drivers.

This bar/club down in the port, down amongst the superyachts, is named after the famous Rascasse bend on the Monaco Grand Prix circuit. With a big outdoor terrace looking out over the yachts and a big indoor bar/dance floor this institution converts from a pleasant café during the day, through to a bar with live music in the evenings, with DJ’s taking over from about 11 through until dawn. In a rarity for Monaco, there’s even a happy hour from 6:30-8:30. One of the less pretentious Monaco venues, and a great night out.

Buddha Bar, Monte-Carlo

3. Buddha Bar Restaurant

Location
Monaco

Located in a historic concert hall, this extraordinary Asian themed bar and restaurant is famed for its DJ’s, which have spawned the famous world music Buddha Bar compilations.

Have a drink in the bar under the cavernous ceiling, taking in the giant Buddha and Asian décor.  Or eat sushi or sophisticated Chinese food on one of the two open air terraces. It would be a shame to miss this Monegasque institution.
