    Quality but nothing special and overpriced! Have to say it’s in a good location but not great. I mean it’s right outside Mont Carlo Casino of 007 fame but so what? I like Bond but don’t like casinos and the location is nothing special scenically. The cafe...yeah cool, nice decor, ambience etc ‘but’ only okay service (normal for Monaco!) and €16 for a coffee and a glass of OJ. Taking the Michael really. Had better coffee and better service at better locations here for half the cost. Disappointing...as is the casino!

    I had an amazing time here! The waitress took really good care and provided everything needed. I do suggest you make a reservation online to make it easier for everyone. The setting of the restaurant is just stunning, a perfect location with very nice views of the Monte Carlo Casino and it's wealth. The food is not something out of this world but still very tasty and good drinks! I'm definitely coming back and thanks to the waitress and waiters for doing a very good job!

    We were in the Café de Paris today, the 12 June 2021. There was baking paper in the cheeseburger. The restaurant staff didn’t even excuse and the manager of the restaurant said “yes, it’s baking paper… But I see it was tasty”. I see that they forgot how to be polite and client oriented. The waiter didn’t excuse and start laughing, when I asked if it is OK that there is paper in the cheeseburger. This is the image they give to the visitors of Monaco. Mediocre food and disgusting service. I believe that this café is significantly overestimated. I don’t recommend it.

    The restaurant is right next to the Monte Carlo Casino. It looks upscale and is beautiful inside but is very family friendly. The staff are very friendly too. It’s very spacious inside with tables well spaced. The food was a little slow and is average. They have the outdoor cafe but also the indoor dining restaurant on the other side of the square.

    It's my third visit to Cafe de Paris. This year it was renovated and looked much better than before. I really liked the view from the second floor. My favorite dishes are onion soup and tart with fruit. They also have good cocktails, which I can recommend the moscow mule.

    I’ve drank Mojitos all around the world - from Cuba to China… And this is THE BEST I’ve ever had!! Great service, great interior and the quality of everything is totally worth it. In terms of prices - a Mojito is 21 eur, a desert is around 12. I would say cheaper than expected. You need to present a Covid EU certification to enter.

    I enjoyed my experience dining here. The ambience, the food and surprisingly, the service was outstanding considering it was so busy. Our waiter was such a delight, cracking jokes and all round entertaining. We were sat at the terrace so it overlooks the grand casino. If you love people watching this is the place to be. I don't lol but I do enjoy my food though 😋 Try the curry. You will be surprised by how amazing it is. For those complaining about the waiting times, you need to book in advance to get a table promptly. What you see as empty tables may have been booked for certain time slots. Walk ins are generally hard in these restaurants. We are not French speakers and neither were most of the patrons around us, but everyone was treated wonderfully. No discrimination. Another tip is that in Monaco, you need to make an extra effort in your dressing to get into most of the premium establishments. That is my observation anyway. Hope these tips helps 🙂

    Other than the impressive architecture there is absolutely nothing special here. Service sucks, food js a as basic as it could possibly be and prices are way higher than they should be for the quality they deliver. I do not recommend it.

    Great food and good ambience. Some classic Monegasque fare such as the delicious crepes suzettes. The escargot snails were also very big! Service is usually slow.

    Beautiful place, the service is absolutely 5 stars service. The food was delicious and place is absolutely beautiful! Love the crepe suzet they seasoned in front of us. Gave four stars for the prices that were very expensive.

    Caesar salad was light and flavoursome. Would definitely recommend. Service front he maître d was great, the servers weren’t as attentive. The atmosphere was light and airy. Only criticism was the drinks were extortionate, a coke was €9.

    Please avoid, it’s a tourist trap. We tried almost everything on the menu and it was really average, this is not even considering how expensive it was. The beef fillet was over cooked and so bland and all the deserts were pre-made. It was literally like eating in a College mess hall. Good for some tourist type photos and perhaps a drink on the balcony, or to say that you visited this landmark, but seriously don’t was your time, better off with a pastry from a local baker and a fizzy water in the near by park.

    I stayed in Monaco for a week and ate at many places there. This was by far my best dining experience. The food was good and the service excellent. Being African American that doesn't speak French other restaurants wasn't as welcoming. The staff went above and beyond satisfying my wants. Thank you.

    Great ambience and service and nice food. Especially the onion soup is heavenly! The agues beef is nicely done and bolognese is just perfect. The only draw back is the clam pasta is too salty for our liking. Definitely a go!

    The casino have a fascinating architectural design with powerful surroundings of shops, cars, gamblers and tourist. Don’t be scared to enter the main casino to enjoy a small gamble or drink, it is out of this world once you come inside. Just make sure you follow the restrictions before you get there. Food at the café was OK. Bit I think the service could be a bit quicker.

    The whole menu was really delicious but my favorite dish was this dessert. The feeling is great, you are surrounded by the beautiful architecture of the Casino and the Hotel de Paris, also while you enjoy your coffee , you can watch and listen the luxury hypercars driving around.

    The worst food experience in France. Bouillabaisse came as a puréed sour substance, Cesar salad tasted like something you would buy at a fast food stop. Stay away and find a decent place

    We were hungry after attending the Fantom of the Opera show and at 10pm it was still open, so we decided to give it a go. Our salads were very tasty, as was my wine, but I removed 1 * because, even though there were tables available, we were seated at a small one amongst other people and it was very cramped. Nice service also and decent prices, given the location.

    Magic atmosphere, service and food were top notch ! But with such a high level of quality and professionalism, I’m wondering how the Café de Paris accepts people in T-shirt, wearing 🧢 while eating…It doesn’t match with the place 🧐 Anyway it was a great discovery 💛

    The interior of this establishment is truly stunning, offering a feast for the eyes with its exquisite design. The culinary experience here surpasses expectations, as each dish tantalizes the taste buds with its delightful flavors. The overall ambiance is nothing short of marvelous, creating an inviting and luxurious atmosphere. One of the highlights is the terrace view, which presents a breathtaking panorama of the casino and the vibrant Monte Carlo. The espresso served is exceptional, characterized by its rich aroma and robust flavor. Furthermore, the staff’s courtesy and attentiveness significantly enhance the dining experience, making it an absolute pleasure.

    Although this cafe is in an amazing location with a view of the Casino, the prices are way above the quality of the food we received. We ordered 2 pina coladas and three deserts which added up to 90€. The desserts were nothing surprising in fact to me they seemed like they were old and frozen. We didnt manage to get inside of the cafe but i read reviwes ut has a beautiful interior. Everything else was fine but this cafe wasnt worth the money.

    ASIAN FOLKS BEWARE- My Chinese-American family and I visited Cafe de Paris and was disturbed to find such a seemingly wonderful establishment to be racist. This server tried to kick us out of the cafe multiple times because he thought we weren't going to spend money(?) even after multiple times of reassuring him that we came for a meal. While we were ordering he was impatient and rolled his eyes at us. After he took our order, he mocked us to his colleagues in French saying that we cannot speak or understand the language and "only communicated in ooos and ahhs". Jokes on him since we can understand French but can't speak. That's no way to treat your guests. 10/10 atmosphere very pretty. 5/10 food, expensive def not Michelin level though pricey. -1/10 service.

    The atmosphere of the place was fantastique. Feelin like a monarch lunch. The service of the waitress was awesome. We ordered veal, salmon avocado salad, lasagna, tagliatelle bolognese, millefeuille, and au barb. Was good! Recommended!!

    This by far was one of the best restaurants I’ve been to including Michelin star restaurants. The service was impeccable and the food was outstanding. This place is deserving of a Michelin star. Cafe de Paris was our favourite restaurant from our Mediterranean trip

  • 2/5 Dmitry C. 7 months ago on Google
    The quality of the drinks made and served by them are of poor quality. For example the cappuccino was of a worse quality than at the tourist restaurants on the seaside in France. It is clear that they have no idea how to make this drink, notice how the foam looks. The lemonade is not freshly made, it is a 1.5€ sold for 9€. The beer glass had lipstick marks and food residue on it. Of course the price doesn't matter if you have quality. But here the quality is bad.

    Café de Paris boasts an iconic location, offering the best panoramic views right in the city's heart. A visit here is more than just a cafe stop; it's an immersion into the very essence of the city's charm and vibrancy.

  • 4/5 Suyeon C. 2 years ago on Google
    It is just next to the Casino. It is a bit expensive, I paid 10€ for my Monte Caro Beer. But the service and the view is amazing !

  • 2/5 Daniel 4 months ago on Google • 7 reviews
    Bad. First they put us in a terrible table that was inches close to another table with two other people. When there were many empty tables at the restaurant. The service is terrible, the waiters always look like they’re in a hurry. They got my order wrong, I ordered a Niçoise beef and they gave me a Niçoise salad. I complained about it but the waiter went in and never came back to my table again, so I had to do with the salad. When I asked for the check they took ages to come, I complained to the lady that manages the tables she was like “I’ve got nothing to do with this”. Don’t recommend it.

    Amazing place to chill out on patio on sunny day. Good service and decent prices nothing spectacular. If you are expecting low prices in place like this (in the most iconic place in Monaco) you need to think twice 😅 nice experience. Definitely I’ll be back 🥐
