One of Monaco's best-kept secrets. Nestled in a gallery of shops off the main square in the old town, it can be difficult to spot. The huge selection of Monégasque specialties includes many dishes the average tourist misses out on in the many French and international eateries. Try the assortment of local starters or the national dish of spiced stockfish. The barbagiuan – a fried savory pastry stuffed with zucchini, eggs, cheese and rice – is one of Prince Albert's favorites. Ample seating, both indoors and out.
