Les Perles de Monte-Carlo
Tucked away at the far end of the Fontvieille Port, with spectacular views of the cathedral and the oceanography museum suspended on the Rock above, this restaurant with a few unpretentious wooden tables and chairs is where celebrities like Clooney and Pitt were rumored to come for a dégustation (tasting). Whether they were dining next to a prince, a model, or an everyday local, it wouldn't matter to the owners—two marine biologists from Brittany—as to them, everyone is made to eat the freshest of shellfish, crustaceans, and fish. The food is also surprisingly affordable for Monaco: a dozen No. 3 oysters accompanied by a glass of white organic wine will only set you back €36, or try the six organic shrimp for €16. No wonder reservations are a must.
