Monaco may be one of the smallest countries in the world, but its gastronomic scene is remarkably ambitious.
From legendary dining rooms overlooking the Place du Casino to contemporary Japanese counters, Mediterranean tasting menus and intimate Italian experiences, the Principality has become one of the most exciting fine-dining destinations on the French Riviera.
In the 2026 MICHELIN Guide, Monaco counts nine Michelin-starred restaurants: one three-star restaurant, three two-star restaurants and five one-star restaurants.
Here are the Michelin-starred restaurants to discover in Monaco in 2026.
1. Le Louis XV – Alain Ducasse à l’Hôtel de Paris
★★★ Three Michelin Stars
Few restaurants are as closely connected with Monaco’s gastronomic identity as Le Louis XV.
Located inside the legendary Hôtel de Paris on Place du Casino, the restaurant is Alain Ducasse’s landmark Mediterranean address and remains Monaco’s only three-Michelin-starred restaurant in the 2026 Guide.
The Riviera is at the heart of its culinary identity, with Mediterranean ingredients, precise techniques and an elegant interpretation of the region’s produce.
The dining room itself is part of the experience: refined, grand and perfectly suited to an important celebration or a truly memorable evening in Monte-Carlo.
Best for: a once-in-a-lifetime dinner, anniversaries and classic Monaco glamour.
SAVÙ tip: Make time before or after dinner for a walk around Place du Casino — the setting is an essential part of the experience.
2. L’Abysse Monte-Carlo
★★ Two Michelin Stars
L’Abysse brings Japanese precision into the world of Monte-Carlo haute cuisine.
Located at Hôtel Hermitage Monte-Carlo, the concept created by Yannick Alléno centres on sushi, carefully prepared seafood and refined sauces and jus that introduce a distinctly French dimension to the experience.
The pale, minimalist interior creates a quiet setting, but the most immersive seats are at the counter, where guests can watch the preparation directly.
It is a particularly interesting choice for diners who want something different from traditional French fine dining.
Best for: Japanese gastronomy, intimate dinners and counter dining.
SAVÙ tip: If possible, reserve a seat at the counter for the most complete experience.
3. Blue Bay Marcel Ravin
★★ Two Michelin Stars
At the Monte-Carlo Bay Hotel & Resort, chef Marcel Ravin has created one of Monaco’s most distinctive culinary identities.
His cuisine connects the Mediterranean with the flavours and memories of Martinique, using Caribbean influences alongside local fish, vegetables, herbs and carefully sourced regional produce.
The result is deeply personal rather than simply luxurious: vibrant flavours, creative combinations and a strong sense of place.
The restaurant also benefits from a beautiful seaside setting and terrace overlooking the Mediterranean.
Best for: creative cuisine, adventurous diners and a romantic dinner by the sea.
SAVÙ tip: Choose a terrace table in good weather to enjoy the full Monte-Carlo Bay atmosphere.
4. Les Ambassadeurs by Christophe Cussac
★★ Two Michelin Stars
Located inside the Hôtel Métropole Monte-Carlo, Les Ambassadeurs combines Belle Époque elegance with contemporary Mediterranean gastronomy.
Chef Christophe Cussac, who worked closely with Joël Robuchon, creates a precise style of cooking in which Mediterranean ingredients remain the central thread.
The interiors by Jacques Garcia feature bronze, ivory and gold tones, creating a luxurious but warm atmosphere.
The experience extends well beyond the main dishes, with particularly elaborate bread and dessert service contributing to the sense of occasion.
Best for: elegant celebrations, refined Mediterranean cuisine and formal dinners.
SAVÙ tip: This is one of the strongest choices in Monaco when you want both highly polished cuisine and a classic palace atmosphere.
5. Le Grill
★ One Michelin Star
Perched on the eighth floor of the Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo, Le Grill is one of Monaco’s most iconic dining rooms.
Its famous retractable roof opens to the Mediterranean sky, while panoramic views stretch across Monaco and the coastline.
Chef Dominique Lory focuses on high-quality regional ingredients and charcoal cooking, with fish, meat and Mediterranean produce at the centre of the menu.
The restaurant is also known for preserving the classic tradition of soufflés.
Best for: panoramic views, elegant lunches and classic French dining.
SAVÙ tip: Visit in good weather, when the open roof transforms the entire atmosphere of the restaurant.
6. Pavyllon Monte-Carlo, un restaurant de Yannick Alléno
★ One Michelin Star
Pavyllon brings Yannick Alléno’s more contemporary and relaxed approach to fine dining to the Hôtel Hermitage Monte-Carlo.
The restaurant combines an open kitchen, a tasting counter and a terrace overlooking the Mediterranean.
Its cuisine is modern and seasonal, with a strong emphasis on vegetables, seafood and lighter compositions.
The atmosphere makes it an excellent option for guests who want Michelin-level cooking without an overly formal setting.
Best for: lunch, contemporary dining and Mediterranean views.
SAVÙ tip: In warm weather, ask for a table on the garden terrace.
7. La Table d’Antonio Salvatore au Rampoldi
★ One Michelin Star
Hidden inside Rampoldi, La Table d’Antonio Salvatore offers one of Monaco’s most intimate Michelin-starred experiences.
The dining room has only a handful of tables, creating a private atmosphere in which chef Antonio Salvatore presents his contemporary interpretation of Italian cuisine.
His cooking draws on ingredients from Italy as well as small producers around Menton and San Remo, combining southern Italian roots with Riviera influences.
It feels very different from Monaco’s larger palace restaurants — more confidential, personal and focused.
Best for: intimate dinners, contemporary Italian cuisine and special occasions.
SAVÙ tip: Reserve well ahead because the limited number of tables is part of what makes the experience special.
8. Elsa Marcel Ravin
★ One Michelin Star
Set within Monte-Carlo Beach, Elsa Marcel Ravin offers a Mediterranean experience that feels closely connected to the sea.
The menu is conceived by executive chef Marcel Ravin, while chef Domenico D’Antonio interprets a cuisine centred on vegetables, seafood and Mediterranean ingredients.
The restaurant’s seaside terrace is one of its greatest attractions, creating a relaxed contrast to the more urban atmosphere of central Monte-Carlo.
This is a particularly appealing choice for a long lunch in warmer months.
Best for: seaside dining, Mediterranean cuisine and elegant lunches.
SAVÙ tip: The terrace is part of the experience — book during daylight hours if you want to enjoy the view.
9. Robuchon Monaco
★ One Michelin Star — New in 2026
Robuchon Monaco is the newest addition to Monaco’s Michelin-starred restaurant scene, receiving its first star in the 2026 selection.
Located on the Esplanade du Portier, the restaurant continues the culinary legacy of Joël Robuchon while presenting classic French cuisine through a contemporary lens.
The philosophy remains rooted in precision, excellent ingredients and attention to detail, but the setting introduces a more modern and energetic interpretation of the Robuchon tradition.
Its arrival adds another major gastronomic address to Monaco’s rapidly evolving Larvotto and Mareterra area.
Best for: modern French gastronomy, Robuchon admirers and a new Monaco dining experience.
SAVÙ tip: This is the restaurant to watch in 2026, particularly for visitors who already know the Robuchon style from Paris or other international destinations.
Which Michelin-Starred Restaurant Should You Choose in Monaco?
The best restaurant depends on the kind of experience you are looking for.
