Overlooking Port Hercule, Caffé Milano offers refined Italian cuisine, golden Riviera light, and front-row dining for Monaco’s most iconic events.

There’s a kind of light that only Monaco gives you – bright but soft, golden at just the right moments.

Caffe Milano Monte-Carlo, sitting quietly on Port Hercule, has captured that light perfectly.

From lunch into evening, it filters through the glass, dances across wine glasses, and settles on generous Italian plates served with quiet confidence. This isn’t just a view. It’s an atmosphere. And at Caffé Milano Monte-Carlo, it’s as much a part of the meal as the food itself.

A Port-Side Table with a Riviera Soul

Located at 1 Quai Albert Iᵉʳ, just past the Tabac corner, the restaurant faces Monaco’s harbor – its yachts, sea breeze, and passing rhythm all just steps away.

But despite the setting, this isn’t a place that demands attention. It earns it.

Inside, the space is modern, elegant, and unpretentious, with clean lines and warmth where it matters. It feels open. Welcoming. Easy to return to.

The Cuisine: Italian Classics, Reimagined with Grace

Chef Alessandro Cora, young and instinctive, doesn’t need theatrics. His cooking speaks through texture and restraint. The flavors are familiar – deeply Italian – but never tired.

You’ll find:

• Risotto with saffron pistils, vivid and silky
• Ossobuco with risotto, slow-cooked and rich with depth
• Homemade focaccia, lightly crisp, soft at the center
• And a tiramisu that doesn’t try to impress – it just gets it right

The cuisine leans generous. Honest. Not rustic, but not overly polished either. It’s comfort, elevated. A meal that makes you feel you’ve been somewhere – even if you haven’t left the port.

A Front-Row Table for Monaco’s Most Iconic Moments

What makes Caffé Milano special – beyond the cuisine – is its ability to place you in the heart of the Principality, without ever making a fuss.

During the Monaco Grand Prix, the restaurant becomes one of the most coveted seats in town – right on the Tabac turn, with full views of the race as it carves past the port. During the Yacht Show, it offers a front-row view of Riviera elegance.

And yet, even on a regular day, when there’s no fanfare, the place still holds its own. Because the view never changes. And neither does the standard.

Why Caffé Milano Stands Out

• A table by the sea with unmatched views over Port Hercule
• Refined Italian cuisine with subtle modern touches
• An elegant yet relaxed setting – ideal for everyday dining or special events
• Front-row access for the Monaco Grand Prix and Yacht Show
• A menu shaped by Chef Alessandro Cora, honoring Italy without imitation

And You?

Have you ever found a place where the view felt like part of the dish?

Where the pasta reminded you of something old, and the wine of something new?

If you’ve been to Caffé Milano, maybe you remember the way the boats rocked just outside your seat.

And if you haven’t yet – perhaps next time the sun’s just right over the harbor, you’ll take that corner and stop in.
