The establishments serve traditional French cuisine: bouillabaisse soup, juliennes, ratatouille, cheese soufflés. The total bill for lunch or dinner for two can exceed 100 EUR (excluding alcoholic drinks).

In the reviews of tourists about restaurants in Menton, you will definitely find mentions of establishments with purely Italian cuisine. These are La Coupole, Cap de Menton: Bruschetta!, La Cantinella. But the delicacies of the Mediterranean can be tasted in such restaurants in Menton as Le Bistrot des Jardins, A Braijade Meridiounale and Restaurant Le Galion.

By the way, France is considered the most expensive country in the world in terms of tips. Usually a "thank you" to the wait staff is already included in the bill (15% of the total amount). But even in this case it is customary to tip the waiter personally at least 1 EUR.
