The geographical location of Monaco has profoundly influenced its national cuisine, which can be described as a fusion of French and Italian culinary artistry. For instance, in some of Monte Carlo's finest restaurants, you'll find the tradition of serving Bouillabaisse, a French soup crafted from various types of fish, enhanced with garlic sauce, saffron, and crispy croutons.
Monaco's culinary repertoire also features seafood delights such as Anchouayade (anchovy and caper puree), stockfish (cod with a white wine sauce and tomato paste), and la poutine (a fish omelette). If you're an aficionado of seafood, Le Vistamar offers rare delicacies like stuffed seahorses and spicy king prawn kebabs.
For those with a preference for meaty indulgence, Monte Carlo's restaurants beckon with offerings like stuffed suckling pig (porchetta) and spicy lamb roll (le pieu e paké).
Top-notch cafés in Monte Carlo tantalize your taste buds with delectable desserts, including almond cookies, fig cakes, fresh fruit creations, and white and black nougat. To complement these sweet luxuries, savor a cup of coffee, hot chocolate, or freshly squeezed juice.
