    Hands down the worst food I have ever been served in a restaurant. Last weeks dry bread while we waited for our food, served with Olive Oil and Balsamic, no side plates though; my son had chips, not that hard to mess up, my wife had a disgusting chicken salad that consisted of a very basic lettuce and tomato arrangement with blue eggs and a boiled reheated chicken breast chucked on top; I had the steak with blue cheese sauce that was basically rare, I sent it back to be cooked medium and when it came back out i could tell it had just been put in the microwave and reheated. I couldn’t eat it, so we paid and left. Terrible experience. Would avoid like the plague. If the aquarium wasn’t there feeding them unsuspecting customers I very much doubt they’d still be in business.

    The service at the restaurant on top of the Oceanographique Musee is nice and hospitable, their understanding of what comprises a salad - nicoise in my case - unfortunately doesn’t match that at all. It looked like canned tuna, put together with salad straight from a premade bag. Luckily, the weather was great and we still had a very enjoyable break in the sun.

    Bad food, they just profit from their location which is highly frequent. Couldn‘t blame the staff for not being motivated. I wouldn‘t be either.

    Reasonably priced for a place like Monaco.visit this place to see the birdseye views from the terrace of the ocean and the principality. Menu is basic but we loved what was served.coffee was good. Terrace also has turtle conservation centre with live turtles

    I never expect a good quality food from the places located in the spots like aquariums, theme parks etc. But this one is outstanding… in a bad way. I have never seen service like this before. Waiter would throw menus on the table without looking. When they forget a part of the order (a dish for one person at the table) they don’t even say simple “sorry” or “excuse me” and just leave and deliver this order upon completion like if it was a part of routine. When another table broke the plate instead of asking if they were okay or needed help, waiter just rolled his eyes up and went on with his other duties There are a lot of very nice places outside in five minutes walk. Just don’t waste your time and nerves here. Also, super expensive for very mediocre quality

    After reading the negative reviews I was concerned, but was very hungry so went there. But actually I liked the place. Waiters are okay, just always in a hurry, there's a queue to get there, so they are trying to accommodate. Food isn't 5* quality (my green beans were overcooked .. however the veal escalope was soft and tasty, maybe a bit too salty, but really okay), but €18 for a healthy hot meal with the sea & Monaco view was not a bad experience at all. I am giving 5* for price for value (value including location and logistics)

    To summarize in a word: disgusting. We picked a dish from the "suggestions of the chef" which was "salade de poulpe". Before receiving the salad they brought to us some stall bread (dry and old). Once the main dish arrived it didn't look fresh. The quantity was astonishing a huge plate which was overall unbalanced : a ton of octopus with 3 potatoes, a couple of cherry tomatoes and 3 olives. It looked not fresh at all and I am pretty sure it is straight from the can. Tasteless flavourless and chewy. All for the crazy price of 19 euro. This is probably the worse meal I had in a long time if i could rate zero I would have done it. I am very surprised the italian staff working there is not ashamed of the food they served.

    Food was decent, but the staff was extremely rude (man in his 50s speaking Italian). Just because I asked to be sat on an area that doesn’t smell like a kitchen they tried to serve me the wrong dish on purpose - and then mock me! Qui, les farcis (qui e’taient pas des farcis) ont ete bons - ton charachter pas vraiment...

    friendly staff and great view given the great weather! there were so many seagulls flying around tho… thank god we sat inside! the seafood was very surprisingly fresh!! but the pasta was disappointing. the fruit sauce of panna cotta was too sour and the pudding itself wasn’t soft enough… not bad but not good experience

    I can only say Thank You to the Italian server who was extremely polite and made us feel very welcome. We loved our time at your terrace and the kids enjoyed it even better.

    This is a restaurant in the museum. It has both indoor and outdoor dining. Since we would like to spend more time in the aquarium and the museum, we decided to dine there. The first impression wasn’t good as the staff who served us didn’t sound friendly. However, subsequent staff who took our orders and the last staff who settled our bill made up for the initial poor service so I decided to give it 4 stars instead of 3. The steak done medium rare and wine were good! The desserts were a delight and I strongly recommend them. The mussels was only average. Hence, I recommend the steak done at medium rare. The sides were plain as you only have a choice of vegetables or fries.

    I almost never write a review, but this place deserves it. Horrible place. 0 atmosphere, dirty tables, walls, broken chairs. It looks like some bad school cafeteria. Rude and zero respect service. Food is almost has no taste. Prices to quality is too high. Dont expect anything good in here. I will never comeback here.
