A special hello to all our female readers today, who are celebrating International Women's Day.
What's new?
Two of Monaco's hotel restaurants have recently been refurbished. The Grill restaurant in the Hotel de Paris has a new coat of paint, but retains its traditional menu. It's located on the 8th floor, with a retractable roof and an impressive view of Monaco to match its 75 euro lunch menu. Over in Fontvieille, the Columbus Hotel's Brasserie has been brightened up and features a new carte and bistro menu that's updated weekly.
Also in Fontvieille, Beefbar has launched its Sexy Burger menu. Served with corn chips, basic beef and cheese burgers are priced at 17 euros. The restaurant is claiming to make the best burgers in town, something that's also attributed to Zest and Stars n Bars. Vote for your favourite in our Facebook survey.
