Monaco's upscale casino is a beautiful, famous building with luxurious surroundings. The casino has many different rooms with themes, and you can usually find expensive cars parked outside. You can also place bets on games like roulette and blackjack without having to worry about the cost too much.
The casino is magical. But the best is having lunch in the salone rose. The food is amazing and prices are low compared to the location. But also, if you have a reservation at the restaurant, you don't pay the entrance to the casino. What else?!

Upscale and amazing AF! Men…you must have close toed shoes to enter the casino floor and there is a dress code that’s different in the afternoon vs the evening so make sure to know the dress code for when you’re going. Anyone can visit in the lobby. Bathrooms are $1 euro to enter. Absolutely stunning all around. Beautiful and exotic cars to be found parked outside in the front.

Although there is a line at the front, it actually didn’t take us very long time to get in to the building. Visit the building is free but it cost €17 to enter the casino. Remember to bring your passport if u want to play casino. The building is iconic and there was many movies filmed here. However it is a small place, you only need 10 mins to explore the whole place.

This casino looks amazing. It does cost 18 Euros to go in and the drinks are expensive. If you are going to gamble then bring a lot of cash as the minimum bet on roullette is 5 Euros and the minimum bet on blackjack and other table games is 25 Euros

The Monte Carlo Casino is an exquisite masterpiece that transports visitors into a realm of opulence and sophistication. Nestled in the heart of Monaco, this iconic establishment exudes an aura of grandeur that is truly unparalleled. From the moment you step foot into its lavish halls, you're enveloped in an ambiance that effortlessly blends tradition with modernity. The architecture is a testament to the timeless elegance that has come to define Monte Carlo. Intricately designed ceilings, crystal chandeliers, and ornate detailing showcase a level of craftsmanship that is both breathtaking and inspiring. The roulette tables and card games are like strategic battles, where wit and luck collide in a dance of excitement. As a 15-year-old with a keen interest in history and culture, the Monte Carlo Casino provided a captivating lesson in both. Observing the diverse crowd of patrons, each engrossed in their games of chance, I couldn't help but appreciate the universality of human nature – the thrill of risk-taking and the pursuit of fortune. The staff's impeccable service further elevated my experience. Courteous and knowledgeable, they effortlessly guided newcomers through the world of gambling, making it accessible and enjoyable for all. In every aspect, the Monte Carlo Casino earns a resounding five stars from me. It is not just a place for gambling; it is a living masterpiece that immerses you in a realm of elegance, history, and entertainment. A must-visit for anyone seeking an unforgettable glimpse into the world of high-stakes allure. Christian

A wonderful building. We visited during the quiet season and in the morning, so we were able to explore the various halls and game rooms at our leisure. We were able to take photos without any restrictions, the helpful staff even took a picture of us in the grand entrance hall. The audio guide was very useful for finding out more of the interesting history of the place. All in all, we spent some interesting hours at the casino. A visit is definitely recommended!

It is a must to visit if you are in Monaco. And they have this free area that allows you to appreciate the architecture and glamour of the place. As it is a quick visit you will not need a lot of time. There are tickets available to visit even more inside: I found them a bit expensive and online reviews said it was not worth the money.

Beautiful building and the interior is quite stunning. Wish we could have been around in the evening to grab a drink at the bar.

My friend found the way to earn money here🤣🤣 just joking. It is a good Casino: quiet, clean, good service. Although the entrance ticket is 17 euros but you can spend 10 euros of this 17 euros for drinks or machine play. Attention!! You need to wear Correct clothes, no sports clothes. You need to bring Passport. That’s all! The Casino used to be a palace so it is gorgeous decorated inside! Enjoy your time🙃

Visited as seemed a place to see while in Monaco, but it was very busy and crawling with tourists and people looking at expensive cars. The casino was full of slot machines, when you first look in, so not quite the grand interior I expected. Glad I saw it and experienced the vibe around it, but not a place I'm in a hurry to visit again. I'd rather spend time in Eze or Antibes. Personal taste in the end.

The casino experience was exceptional. The bustling atmosphere, combined with the elegant architecture, created a truly enchanting ambiance. You can have endless enjoyment at the front, gazing at the magnificent cars. The interior was equally impressive, boasting all the essential features of a top-notch casino. Clean, safe and accurate. Clean restrooms and friendly employees. The square is packed with luxury cars.

The inside was gorgeous. However, it was pretty empty and small. I was expecting a grandeur gambling area but it was only a few tables and large slot machines. The bar area was very nice and the people were friendly. FYI...you have to have your passport in order to enter.

We didn't go in, but the outside and grounds are beautiful. The 4 stars are because it states clearly on their website what the dress code is for entering, but they were letting men in with shorts and t-shirts. I'm guessing that if yiu have enough money, they don't care how you're dressed.
Barbara Ingram — Google review
What a great casino to visit! I wasn't sure I could get in, but it is no problem to see the foyer, and the inside is beautiful - you just can't go into the casino area unless you're dressed correctly and your pockets are full of money. You can pay to have a tour, but it is worth your time if you aren't gambling to just go inside to see the grandeur of the building.
Scott Abajian — Google review
Disappointed. They had fancy cars in front of the casino. I don’t understand why people give so good reviews. Paid to get entrance, got a voucher that can be used for a beer or wine or coin to bet on a machine. The bar tender is rude. The casino is not big. It looks fancy. But only some tourists there. No people really play seriously.

Phenomenal....So James Bond! The casino is everything that Hollywood has made it to be. The energy, the ambiance, and the mystery. It's worth your time to visit it twice. Come during the day and make another visit during the evening hours. You will walk away with different perspectives. There is an entrance fee to the casino (18E) that can be credited towards game play. The casino also provides daytime tours for individuals and families. Grab a beverage at the adjacent Cafe de Paris, and people watch to your hearts desire. There are also multiple restaurants within the casino that are open to the public (make a reservation in advance). Put the Monaco Casino on 'The Bucket List"

recently visited the Monte Carlo Casino and had a unique experience. The entry fee was 18€, which included 10€ credit for the slot machines - a fair deal to kickstart the gaming. While the casino was enjoyable, I did notice a lack of variety in gaming options. It’s important to note that the casino opens in the evening, so do check the timings before planning your visit. One of the highlights for me was the atmosphere outside the casino. The area buzzes with a fantastic vibe, enhanced by the parade of luxury cars. It’s quite a spectacle and adds to the overall charm of the place. For anyone seeking a one-of-a-kind experience in a luxurious setting, Monte Carlo Casino is definitely worth a visit.

Maybe I was expecting too much, but this wasn't special by any means. First, they charge you a fee to enter, and the women doing so were fairly rude doing it. Next, you go through security, and I went to the cage to exchange currency. Their exchange rate was crazy and they pocketed at least another 150 over the rate. When exchanging, I asked if drinks were included, and he said yes. We go to a roulette table change out a grand and orde drinks. Drinks come, and they want 80 Euros for them and argue the cage was wrong. The place is as beautiful as every picture you have ever seen. In the stain glass, you can see the year 1889, and the architecture is magnificent, but unfortunately, and probably most important to a casino was the vibe. This place was as dead as a cemetery at midnight. I would estimate less than 40 people in the entire place. No excitement, no winning, no atmosphere, just a nice building where they take your money. (That said, I won 300 😉 and still felt it was a bust)

We didn't go inside the casino to gamble because we were only on a day trip from Nice and preferred to wander around the city. It was pretty empty since it was still preseason and raining. Even if you're not into gambling, it's worth checking out the free rooms you can enter. And if you do decide to gamble, the prices aren't too bad for a world-famous casino, so it's something to consider.

Wonderful casino, 100% worth the visit during the quiet season! Too many tourists during the summer however at winter the building can be seen more up close and personal with multiple nice cars and nice weather even into the winter months Worth the visit, looks great from all angles and the cool cars that drive around the casino is the cherry on top

Definitely the best casino I’ve been to, full stop. Extraordinary atmosphere and fair game. The dealers were being really patient to my friend who’s not so familiar to black jack which was so nice, also the staff members were being really welcoming as well. The architecture itself was already worth it for buying the ticket and everything was so detailed and exquisite. First time visiting Monaco and just the casino alone worth revisiting this lovely country, will come here again. Strongly recommend here even if you don’t gamble. 18 March 2024 Prop to the cute dealer who’s being lovely and make players happy🥰👍🏻

We visited on Monday late evening after dinner in the Alain Ducasse across the road. Historical location and outstanding interiors. A valid passport is required to gain entry and no other photo ID is accepted. The casino itself was pretty average and drinks were good. We didn't stay too long and the taxi was right outside the casino after late hours.

Harbor
If you're seeking a more peaceful alternative to the bustling Port Hercule in Monaco, look no further than the serene Port de Fontvieille. Nestled in the eponymous district, this marina offers a tranquil atmosphere and picturesque views of the harbor and Mediterranean Sea. Whether you're a yacht owner or a casual visitor, you'll appreciate the well-maintained facilities and excellent service.
Awesome view on the Marina Wonderful place with a beautiful view. It’s good stop under the trees with a view in the Marina. Suitable location to make beautiful photos.
Ul G — Google review
Looking for a serene and picturesque location in Monaco to enjoy the Mediterranean sea? Look no further than the Port de Fontvieille. This marina is perfect for both yacht owners and casual visitors alike. Visitors can expect a relaxing atmosphere with stunning views of the harbor and the sea. The service is excellent and the facilities are well-maintained, offering everything you need for a comfortable stay. You can enjoy a nice meal at one of the restaurants or simply take a leisurely stroll along the docks. What makes Port de Fontvieille special is its location, tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the main harbor. The marina is quieter, providing a more peaceful and intimate experience. One star is missing due to the lack of entertainment options for children. While the marina is a lovely place for adults, families with young children may find it lacking in activities to keep them engaged. Overall, I highly recommend the Port de Fontvieille for anyone looking for a quiet and relaxing getaway in Monaco. I was impressed by the beauty of the area and the high-quality service provided. I am likely to return in the future and encourage others to visit as well. Owners and staff should be commended for maintaining such a lovely facility, and I hope to see even more improvements in the future.

Stunning harbour front! This is the beating heart of Monaco really. Stunning harbour frontage containing pokey captain Popeye beat up rowing boats to Uber rich super yachts. Surrounded by nice bars and restaurants that are really surprisingly reasonably priced. There are also the odd snazzy public work of art and sculptures paying homage to famous historic F1 racers. Loved walking about there with my partner.

Really good for families with young children. The aquarium had beautiful sea creatures, including small fish, different species of sharks as well as a giant turtle.

Highly recommended when in Monaco.

Nice and interesting, aquarium part was the best. A couple years ago you could pet sharks but we didn’t find the tank now. It’s not cheap but it’s understandable, there are many animals to take care of. I do not recommend going on the rooftop without sunglasses during the day ! It’s gonna blind you.

Lovely place. It is not the largest or most rich museum of this type, but it is really worth seeing because it has interesting specimens and an aesthetic, interesting way of presenting it. The service was okay, the prices were not too high. In my opinion, it is worth an hour or two for sightseeing. And there is a nice gift shop at the end - which also sells interesting books.

Amazing museum, great technical solutions, informative signs and beautiful creatures in the aquariums. Fits for all generations, everyone should visit and expect that's big so can spend inside 2-3 hours or more easily. One tiny minus is that related to the recent royal family there is bit too much hype, for my taste (installation, footage, even a painting).

I always bring my friends and family here when they visit. Everyone always enjoys coming here. They have a lot of aquariums and an outdoor area with turtles and tortoises. If you go to the top floor, you’ll get an amazing view of the principality from the rooftop. There is also a little cafe there. They do different events, from lectures and seminars to immersive experiences. You can buy a discounted student ticket for both the oceanography museum and the zoo, or the palace.

A very neat experience! The Aquarium was quite crowded, but it had a lot of specimens and lots of aquatic life that I don't often see displayed. In addition the museum was interesting to go through. It had lots of information about Monaco's involvement with sea exploration. It also had a lot of information on climate change and how we can make an impact.

This place is worth a visit, a very good Aquarium. There is the usual indoor section, in addition there is an outdoor section and a large museum upstairs with a lot of naval history and interactive attractions and articles within. Price was reasonable, individual prices and not a family deal. Tickets bought at the entrance and access was straight away. There were barriers for busier times, so I anticipate it gets busier. There is also a large room upstairs with all the walls being screens and plays a number of videos about the north and South Pole and tether climates, also with interaction

I spent about 3 hours here. They have all the fish aquariums you’d probably expect to see, and I loved all of it. It’s easy to get caught up watching these marine life. Make sure to also go upstairs!

Great place, worth a visit. A bit hard to understand where to start, so it is easy to miss a floor. I recommend to start on the bottom floor and go up. Also worth to know if you are staying in nice/France that internet is not working here, and it's not possible to book Uber because there is no uber in Monaco. My lifesaver was a phone outside (next to ticket shop) the phone is for taxi and they are pretty fast.

The Oceanographic Museum of Monaco is one of those places that is recommended to be visited when you are in the principality. The museum has two lower floors and three floors above. The lower floors are the aquariums, which I would describe as the sea creatures zoo, and, irrespective of in what glamorous condition they are kept, is animal abuse in glorified clothes. The upper floors, though, were very interesting as they focused on polar exploration and the role that Monaco has played and is still playing in conserving the oceans and the environment.

Went on a Tuesday afternoon. The aquarium is on the small side but has some interesting sea creatures. On the up floor there was a sea exploration exhibit that I wish was larger. But overall it was something to do for an hour. It's also notable that the views are excellent. Worth the admission fee.

An absolutely amazing experience, there were so many exhibitons. I spent 2-3 hours wandering through the entire museum. Unfortunately, I went over the weekend, which was quite crowded so I'd recommended going earlier in the day or over the week.

Quai des Artistes is a charming restaurant located at Monaco's Hercule port, offering stunning views of the bustling harbor. The menu features delectable seafood dishes and classic French fare. Guests can choose to dine in the ornate indoor spaces or on the outdoor terrace overlooking the port. Despite its popularity, the restaurant maintains a relaxed atmosphere and provides excellent service.

Great atmosphere by the port. If you order a lobster, unless there is some miracle it won’t be one in the tank that you see when passing by - I was on a lobster kick and this was my third one in a row, and it was by FAR the most obviously frozen, tough, nightmare lobster that you hear about. The giveaway is that they serve half lobsters.. do you think they toss the other half?

Came in for dinner. We started with the escargot and oysters. The waiter knew virtually nothing about our oysters. Interesting. The snails and oysters were tasty. My wife ordered the filet steak. I ordered the mixed grill seafood plate. Both were good. Filet was much better. We ran out of water at one point for over 25/30 min. When we located our waiter no apology or anything just bringing out a new water. Ambiance was pretty good, service lousy and food ok.

We arrived without reservations just as they were opening for dinner on a Sunday evening in early July. The maitre d' seemed mildly annoyed that we didn't have reservations, but found us a table for two near the center of the patio. It had been a hot day, but was a perfectly pleasant evening to sit out under the sky and gawk at the mega yachts in the marina. If you don't know, the Monaco Yacht Club is home to some of the most fabulously ostentatious yachts in the world, many values in the tens (or hundreds?) Of millions of dollars. Before dinner we had walked up and down the floating docks to get a close-up look at some of the smaller ones. It's always fun to daydream about life on a boat... We started our meal with the foie gras appetizer and a dozen raw oysters. The foie gras melted in your mouth and went perfectly with the marinated caramelized onions it came with. I heard a famous chef say one time when asked what he would want for his last meal on earth respond with "a big slab of foie gras." I understand why. The oysters were an assortment of four local varieties, all delightful. They were served with fresh lemon and pickled onion in red wine vinegar. In the US, it's customary to also get horseradish and Tabasco, but this does not seem to be a thing here. This was not an issue for us, but I mention it to set your expectations correctly. In my experience, it's hard to screw up raw oysters. For our main courses we ordered the mixed seafood grill and rack of lamb. Both were excellent. The lamb was slightly on the done side of medium, but was still juicy and wonderful with a crispy crust of pesto and parmesan. The mixed grill included prawns, white fish, squid and an assortment of grilled vegetables, aubergine (eggplant) tomato, mushrooms, zucchini. Everything was grilled perfectly by people who really understand seafood. We paired everything with a bottle of Chateau St. Marguerite that was bright, easy, and refreshing. We finished off the meal with the crepes suzette, that offered the right balance of orange sweetness and lightness to leave us feeling satisfied but not overly full. The service was good but not excellent. I caught the maitre d' scolding our server for letting our wine and water glasses sit empty or nearly so. Also, we sat for quite a while at the end of the meal before they brought us our check. All in all, these were very minor things, and didn't detract from the enjoyability of the meal. We really liked Quai des Artistes, and can easily recommend it highly. Perhaps we may even go back some day...

It's one of my all-time favourite places Ezio and the team take such good care of you, the food is consistently excellent, service attentive and kind and atmosphere is also fabulous I am a long-term guest and feels like coming home every time I visit. Thank you for always making me and my guests feel so welcome each and every time! 💕

The outdoor seating by the pier is very beautiful at night. We ordered escargots and fish carpaccio as appetizers, and the main dish frog legs, is very delicious, which is very suitable for couples or friends to gather here.

Spacious restaurant with a large outdoor terrace. The extensive menu comprises many traditional French dishes and the food is generally (very) well prepared. The acoustics indoor could be improved.

Highly recommend this truly French classic restaurant with long history. Everything is just what you expect from this kind of place. Well trained waiters, they know exactly how to serve and take care of the guests, delicious French dishes (classic recipes), fresh fruit de mer. Expensive place , but it worths it ! Feels like Parisian restaurant.

A delightful restaurant with a stunning terrace on the harbor, delicious food and friendly staff. Have been many times and will continue to do so.

The restaurant is by the port. The great part about the restaurant is that sitting outside and inside is equally beautiful. The food especially the seafood is very delicious. The service is very professional and at the same time nice and friendly.

Bar
La Rascasse is an upscale hot spot in Monaco known for its finger foods, bar, and late-night DJ sets. The venue features a covered outdoor terrace and hosts numerous events throughout the year, including the Longines Global Champions Tour and a festive Christmas Village. It's also famous for being located at the iconic La Rascasse corner on the Monaco Grand Prix track, offering a unique experience for F1 enthusiasts.
Had an evening here after the Hostorique GP. What a blast. A marshal swapped their hat for my shirt and Met Stefan Johansson, the Ferrari and McLaren F1 Driver!

Wanted to have my birthday there but the lack of staff and courtesy when speaking on the phone as well as arrival and ordering. I had to personally go to the bar and let the barman/waiter know how terrible the service was. It’s shameful for such a high end place having such poor service. As I expressed my disappointment, we were offered 2 shots. Drinks were alright, music was really good but 2 staff for only 5 groups of customers and still not being able to satisfy us is shameful..

Was here for F1 weekend earlier in the year and have been for drinks in years gone by. Always a must stop location for more reasonably priced drinks but right in the heart of Monaco. F1 weekend was sensational and the atmosphere after the race was just incredible all through the night! Can't wait till next time

I recently had an unfortunate encounter with the door staff at La Rascasse. Despite being a 52-year-old business owner in the hospitality industry myself, I was disappointed to experience their aggressive behavior, including being man handled. As someone who values professionalism and respect in the hospitality industry, I found the conduct of the door staff alarming. I thought the days of untrained thugs enjoying bullying and intimidating people had long passed. Buy clearly not here..

Bar / club in Monaco. The music is good, but always the same. I went there several times and the playlist are always the same. The place is located on the Port Hercules, which is good for the Grand Prix. I recommend if you want to have fun in Monaco without paying too much. No table is needed, no particular dress code, and you get your drinks at the bar. Sometimes they make you pay the entrance, which was disappointing since I was a regular client and it wasn’t the case before.

Coolest bar in Monaco? Right in the middle of a turn on the track. Drinks are 50% off before 8PM and they're amazing. I had the Madeleine cocktail.. .3 times.. We also had little wraps appetizers that were good too. When we arrived we were pretty much the only ones there. When we left at around 8.30PM it was full. Highly recommend for a drink. Note that the upstairs with the better view is only open in the summer.

Nice disco bar for a night out in Monaco at a reasonable price. Quick and nice service and good music. The space for dancing is a bit limited, especially if there are a lot of people, but it's okay

The famous La Rascasse corner on the Monaco Grand Prix track. The corner runs along the harbour and behind it is the entrance to the pits. It’s a great place to watch the F1 but very expensive. On non Grand Prix track times it’s a regular bar with music and dancing which anyone can visit.

They have great music, and overall it’s a nice, lively atmosphere. If you want a table, you can reserve one in the VIP area beforehand or it’s on a first come first serve basis. I always take my friends here and everyone loves it.

I had so much fun here! The ambiance is chilled out upmarket cocktail bar in the early evenings. Very friendly staff. AMAZING DJ later on at night outside, and When you walk in you'll find people tearing up the dancefloor salsa dancing, AND be able to watch live football ( if you're a huge fan like me this is a super bonus!) P.s. of you visit this place you have to try out their food. Blown away.

Italian restaurant
The restaurant Bella Vita offers excellent food and is situated in a prime location. The cuisine is delicious, although some dishes may have been slightly salty. Their clam and prawn pasta, served with an oil and garlic sauce, is particularly noteworthy. The garlic flavor is well-balanced, and there is an ample amount of clams in the dish.
Really good food. I had the spaghetti Reda and it was really tasty and the shrimps were well cleaned and prepared. Couldn't resist the Tiramisu after the sumptuous meal. Also, the waiter was really nice, we requested to switch the TV station because we wanted to watch a football game and he did... awesome :D

Food here is good and The location is the Best! The food was nice but a bit salty. I ordered the clam and prawn pasta which was in an oil and garlic sauce. Garlic was good and there were enough clams. The location is near the casino, the outdoor Ferris wheel and rides and little shops by the water, roller rink, and The beautiful French Riviera coast full of fancy cars like a Porsche but parked next to a cute Twizy or Smart. There is indoor seating that's very well heated in winter and outdoor seating with glass encasement with heat lamps. Cozy, lively, and wait staff speak several languages. Overall a great experience and fast wifi that's free.

This was lovely authentic Italian Resturant we had great coffee , tea and Tirmasu was delicious. The staff members were polite and it was nice service. Only thing to be mindful about is if you choose to sit outside smoking is permitted here and if you don’t smoke it’s better to sit inside. I don’t smoke so I would choose to sit inside next time.

The octopus salad was perfect. Big, tasty, fresh and perfect consistence. If you like octopus, do not miss the chance! Pizza Primavera very good, fresh and with perfect dough; Diavola also good according to my son Serving slow when restaurant is full, but staff is nice and accommodating. Not so pricey for Monaco.

We liked the food.. The view is amazing and the service is very nice. I personally had a neptune pizza, was for 14 euros and I appreciate it. Though, the toilet was a bit dirty which was disappointing for a fancy restaurant as this is. Ps: maybe you can consider making a reservation, otherwise you can end up queueing for a long time.

The sauce and cheese was on point but the pasta was unfortunatly a bit undercooked. The woman who served our food was really friendly but her co workers where mostly rude or inattentive. We had to wait almost 15 min to just pay the bill (after asking twice). The bathroom was quite dirty too. Good price for Monaco though!

The food was surprisingly good, particularly the seafood. The only drawback was that the environment felt unclean because there were many flies in the restaurant.

I came with my partner for his birthday. The pasta Reda was undercooked if you look in the picture you can tell by how yellow it is and the tartar was appalling. No finesse just a heavy hand of raw meat no egg yolk, shallot or anything. Extremely disappointed. €53 gone to waste! Do not come here I suggest spending a bit more and crossing the road to eat something edible.

we were guests at the Monaco Grand Prix on May 11th, 2024. we wanted a desert and coffee. The reception was very unfriendly, the cards were thrown on the table, not a word of welcome. Our order was only taken reluctantly. We had ordered tiramisu and coffee, we got something in a glass that tasted like pudding and has as much to do with tiramisu as pizza has to do with cake. Instead of coffee, we got something that was vaguely reminiscent of coffee with milk, ice cubes, and far too much sugar. The whole thing was far too expensive and tasted mediocre, how this place got a 4.3 is a mystery to me. The cashier was just as unfriendly, you are not welcome as a tourist here, better stay away!!!
Florian Kuhn — Google review
Great situation on the start finish line. Service was top, Italien beer top, I was hoping for a good Italien pizza. To my horror my pizza was uncooked. The cheese was bof, the spicy salami/Italien meat was top, so was the edge of the pizza. The base was totally uncooked. The cook needs to learn how to cook a pizza correctly and then this would get more stars from me.

Brewpub
Monaco Brewery is a charming organic brewery offering a selection of craft beers and a menu featuring tapas and pizza. Situated by the Port Hercule marina, it provides a picturesque dining terrace with views of the yachts. The brewery is known for its great Monegasque craft beers, including options like "blonde," "blanche," and seasonal offerings. Despite being busy during lunchtime, the service was prompt, delivering delicious dishes such as entrecote and assorted bar bites.
Amazing staff! Came for a drink with my sister and we left loving the place. All the servers were so welcoming and friendly. This restaurant has a great atmosphere and location with a view of the port. The food and drinks were equally as good. Highly recommend trying this place out. 10/10

The burger and their beer was very good. But i guess they charged me wrongly at the end. firstly, the burger was cheaper at the qr-code menu than it actually is, and the charge for the beer + burger was probably wrong. but overall it was a good experience and the place is well located. there is a ar conditioned area which is a little bit better for a extremely hot summer day.

I came here during lunch time so it was quite hectic. I was given a seat (inside) almost immediately and my food came really fast even though it was very busy. I ordered the entrecote medium rare, it was more on the well done side but still acceptable. I also ordered the blanche beer from the tap and it was very good.

Great Monegasque craft brewery, as far as I know it's the only place to get craft beer in all of Monaco. Reasonable prices, great setting right on the harbor, and excellent beers. They only had 3 beers on tap when I was there - a "blonde" and "blanche" that seem to always be on the menu, and a special seasonal offering, which was a dark and spicy Christmas beer.
Sean Miller — Google review
Really disappointed that we turned up today to return to a restaurant we really enjoyed as a family, to be told it was fully booked despite not taking bookings. I hope the fact we are older than the others enjoying their meals didn’t have anything to do with it…
Simon Evans — Google review
Food was OK but pretty basic. Service was minimalistic too - they were so reluctant to provide small plates to each diner for sharing!!! For a 'brewery' they has exactly 2 types of beer! How is that even possible? Quite disappointed. But then for the price it was not a bad deal given how expensive restaurants in Monaco are. Will not be going back again.

Good atmosphere. As mentioned by others, they will do everything they can to avoid giving you the happy hour price. You have to be very careful to make sure you actually get it and that they don't serve you "premium" drinks to avoid giving you the discount.

The Brasserie is a great place for some drinks in the evening. They have music, and everyone is in good spirits there. People mingle outside and have a nice time. Best of all, they offer food alongside drinks until much later than some of the other restaurants.
Vasilisa Vishnyakov — Google review
Please, I beg you do not go this restaurant because of scam. We have ordered drinks during happy hour but the waiter insisted that happy hour is only on weekends and special events. On the menu and internet was never mention anything. We later asked another waiter who than confirmed that everyday there is happy hour. We then saw that the first waiter then told the second one off to not answer our questions anymore. The first waiter also discussed with the other waiters. We tried to complain at the bar but they insisted that it was a special event because of a football match. The restaurant did not even show any match. The service was bad especially from the first waiter. Do not be fooled by the setting. BTW the food wasn't that tasty and they also did not serve pizzas, probably because they are cheap.

We happened upon this place in the harbourside of Monaco in our travels. We were greeted by friendly front of house staff, who despite my rudimentary French, were more than happy to converse in English. We ordered ribeye steak, which came promptly, cooked as we requested and tasted amazing. It was very reasonably priced too, considering the quality of the food and the location of where we were dining. Amazing experience.

The happy hour is the best time to go to Brasserie all drinks are half price and this bar is always busy so if your bill is wrong just correct the bartender and they will be fine. They work so hard and can forget sometimes, but in conclusion Brasserie is a great place and a great atmosphere.

The lounge at Port Hercule, Monte Carlo is a cozy and inviting place with a very amiable staff. The atmosphere is vibrant and energetic, thanks to the DJ who plays dance music. The cocktails served are of high quality and delicious. If you desire nuts to accompany your drinks, the friendly waiter will happily bring them to you with a smile. The ravioli special is absolutely delectable, surpassing any other ravioli you may have tasted before.
Nice place to be for adults music and foods fantastic service

New Year’s dinner fixed menu! we never received the dessert after asking several times. We were told it was sold out but the table that sat next to us later got it! We were disappointed on how it was handled. They could have made up for it in many ways offering a glass of champagne would have been nice. Certainly not the experience one wants to have on New Year’s Eve!
