Louis XV Restaurant, Monte-Carlo interior

1. Louis XV Restaurant

Monaco

Considered by many to be the finest restaurant on the Riviera, this Alain Ducasse delight has an opulent and dazzling setting in the heart of the Hôtel de Paris and holds three Michelin stars.

The menu is a Mediterranean and is a seasonal symphony of a style and haute cuisine that Alain Ducasse qualifies in one word as "essential". Specialities include Mediterranean sea bass studded with marjoram and cooked flat, Pyrenean baby lamb seasoned with Espelette pepper and roasted in the fireplace, and fennel and offal "alla romana".

The restaurant’s new look, designed by Patrick Jouin and Sanjit Manku, highlights the easy-going lifestyle of the French Riviera.

About choosing a restaurant in Monaco

There's a wide range of restaurants in Monaco to suit all tastes, and budgets. Read our guide on all the best places to eat in Monaco and where to find your favourite style of cuisine.

Given the wealth in this tiny Mediterranean principality, it’s not surprising that there are magnificent restaurants to be found and Michelin stars aplenty, but there’s also a fair few that simply take advantage of the swanky postcode, or a view of the palace on the hill. A Nicoise salad made with cheap canned tuna and some brown tatty iceberg lettuce can unhinge a person, especially when it tastes like cat food and comes with a price tag of 28 euro.

This guide is to separate the diamonds from the diamantes, no matter what your budget. Who are we kidding? It does matter what you’re budget is, this is Monte Carlo! Our hot tip is to take advantage of the lunch menus in one of the Michelin starred restaurants; lunch menus in much of France are a far cheaper option than dining at night and you'll get to enjoy fine cuisine for a fraction of the dinner price, albeit from a set menu.
