I always think it's so funny how worked up people get about quick service in restaurants. Yes, the service is not prompt, but in many European nations and in many parts of the world, meals are a leisurely experience meant to be enjoyed not rushed through. Besides, you're in MONACO, which is so amazing and the food....delicious. I had the... More

I live in Monaco but never tire of this restaurant. It has an extensive brasserie-style menu, and has a great buzzy atmosphere in a superb location, right on Casino Square. The food is well executed without being overly fussy, and the set lunch, by Monaco standards, is a bargain. Three of us ate here on May 29th and had an... More

Located next to the casino & opposite the hotel de Paris. There is two reasons why people eat at this restaurant. 1/ this restaurant has prime view of any car that rolls up to the casino and there are many beautiful luxury and rare cars. 2/ u are staying at the hotel de paris and the nearest food place by...

It seems as if the terrace here is divided into sections, as sometimes waiter with nothing on their hands, simply refuse to serve you. We have been here several times over the last years, and service seems to get slower every time. We had waited 15 minutes just to order our first drink. Fortunately it is such a prime spot... More

A great place to have lunch while admiring the beauty of Monaco. The food is excellent, service is very good, and the atmosphere is nice. I would recommend to sit on the terrace. Try to get a spot near the Casino - just in case a McLaren rolls on by.

This is the second time in Monaco and it just gets better and better. The Cafe de paris is a wonderful place to sit and people watch, especially in the evenings. You have the people with the expensive cars going into the Casino, tourists looking at the cars parked outside the Casino (been there, done that :o) ) and those... More

Rude service staff and overrated foods. We have been in Le Cafe De Paris in May and we don't like the attitude of waiters in this restaurant.

We had lunch here in between shopping. We ordered Smoked Salmon, Sardine and Grilled Lobster and Devil Sauce. The food came quickly and beautifully arranged. We were served with complimentary bread. I really enjoyed the Lobster and the Capuccino. Food was tasty and prices is about EUR40 per head. The outdoor tables were arranged very close together so cannot have... More

If you want to check off your bucket list, "had lunch in the square in front of the Monte Carlo Casino and counted the Maserati and Rolls" then this is place. What you'll get is an average quality, over-priced meal, with adequate service. And great people-watching that is worth the extra Euros.

Went there twice, once for dinner and once for drinks in the afternoon and enjoyed both visits. Great place for people watching, although we were there at race time and the chain link fencing obscured the views. The menu is pretty broad (note: we did not eat at the inside restaurant which is more fine dining-oriented; we ate in the... More
