Quai des Artistes
About
Quai des Artistes, nestled on Monte‑Carlo’s historic Port Hercule, is a perennial favourite that blends the convivial spirit of a Parisian brasserie with the relaxed Mediterranean hospitality Monaco is known for. Open every day of the year (except Christmas Eve) from noon until midnight, the restaurant invites locals and visitors alike to enjoy classic French cuisine—from deftly prepared meats and seafood to inventive seasonal tapas—accompanied by an ever‑changing daily menu and a generous selection of wines. A terrace under the iconic Port Hercule arcades offers sweeping views of the harbor, making it an ideal spot for brunch, lunch, or a leisurely evening. The dedicated team, led by former chef Etienne Barrier and the owner Mr Letartre, is committed to quality, freshly sourced ingredients, and a warm, artistic ambience that has made the venue a staple of Monaco’s dining scene for more than two decades.
