Regional street food

Every country of the world has its street food, regional snacks sold from kiosks, vans or shops and eaten on the move.

For all its luxury and glamour, Monaco is no exception to the rule, although you're much more likely to spot tourists enjoying the tasty fast food than wealthy residents of Monte Carlo. In the interests of research, we've been trying out the Principality's street food specialities, socca and barbagiuans (sometimes spelled barbajuans).

Sunday always comes too late

You know what it's like, you've been partying hard in Zebra Square and Jimmy'z. You finally get to sleep at 7am on Sunday morning and you roll out of bed a little dazed around lunchtime.

Where to go for a gravy dinner in Monaco?

Mr MaBoum is quite traditional when it comes to food, and one of his favourite meals is what he calls a "gravy dinner". What he's referring to is of course the British Sunday lunch, with roast meat, gravy and 2 veg.

Back to work

Today is officially La Rentree, a return to the office or school, and for many restaurants and bars this marks the end of the tourist season. Here at maBoum, we've marked places that change their opening hours according to the time of year, so you won't turn up and find the doors closed. If you see a red message under the name of a place saying opening hours vary according to season, make sure to check the notes for more details.
