Best Restaurants Open on Sunday in Monte Carlo 2026

The principality's most famous table is dark on a Sunday. Le Louis XV, Alain Ducasse's three-star room at the Hotel de Paris, closes Sunday and Monday, and so does Marcel Ravin's two-star Blue Bay at Monte-Carlo Bay. But Monaco is a hotel town, and a hotel town does not close on a Sunday. Ducasse's own rooftop grill keeps service, Yannick Alleno lays out a Sunday brunch at the Hermitage, and the Italian and Latin rooms around the Casino run late into the night. Six upscale rooms confirm Sunday hours below, ranked by what each is for, in euros per head before wine.

Why a Sunday list matters in Monte Carlo

Monaco's gastronomic peaks keep the classic French weekend close. Le Louis XV, the three-star at the Hotel de Paris, serves Tuesday to Saturday and goes dark Sunday and Monday; Blue Bay, Marcel Ravin's two-star, does the same. A visitor who books a Riviera weekend on the assumption that the principality's grandest tasting menus will be available on Sunday night is in for a surprise. That is the single most useful thing to know about eating at the top end here at the start of the week.

What stays open is the rest of the Monte Carlo machine: the hotel grills and brasseries, the Italian institutions, the festive Latin rooms by the Casino. The order below leads with the two Michelin-starred rooms that do keep a Sunday service, Le Grill and Pavyllon, then runs through the Italian classics before closing with the late Latin American rooms. A timing note: the Riviera eats from around 8pm, and several of these venues are seasonal, so a June Sunday is prime time while a January one is not. Every hour below was checked against the venue's own published schedule in June 2026. For the wider week, start with the Monte Carlo dining guide.

The Sunday list

1

Le Grill

French grill · Hotel de Paris, Place du Casino · €150–260 per head

Sunday hours: Dinner from 19:15

Le Grill sits on the eighth floor of the Hotel de Paris at Place du Casino, a Michelin-starred grill under a retractable roof that opens to the stars over the harbour. The wood-fired Mediterranean fish, the prime cuts and the souffle trolley are the orders, and a dinner runs roughly €150 to €260 a head before the cellar, which it shares with Le Louis XV downstairs. It is the starred Sunday booking in Monaco, opening for dinner from 7:15pm when Ducasse's flagship is closed. Ask for a table by the roof edge on a clear night; this is the grand Sunday occasion in the principality.

2

Pavyllon Monte-Carlo

Modern French · Hotel Hermitage · €145 brunch / €120–200 dinner

Sunday hours: Brunch 12:00–15:00

Pavyllon Monte-Carlo is Yannick Alleno's Michelin-starred room inside the Belle Epoque Hotel Hermitage, the Monaco chapter of his counter-led Pavyllon concept. On Sunday it turns over to a Parisian-style brunch from noon to 3pm, priced around €145 a head with a glass of champagne and the kitchen's signature extraction sauces running through the spread. It is the most refined Sunday daytime table in the city, set under the Hermitage's glass-domed winter garden. Book ahead for the brunch; it is the Sunday move for anyone who wants Alleno's cooking without waiting for a weekday dinner.

3

Cipriani Monte Carlo

Italian · Place du Casino · €120–220 per head

Sunday hours: Lunch 12:00–14:30 & dinner 19:00–23:45

Cipriani Monte Carlo brought the Venetian dynasty's Harry's Bar style to a terrace beside the Casino, all white-jacketed service and the family's signatures. The Bellini, the carpaccio invented by the Cipriani family and the baked tagliolini with ham are the orders, with a meal landing around €120 to €220 a head. It is one of the most reliable Sunday rooms in town, open for lunch from noon, a Sunday brunch alongside it, and dinner to nearly midnight. The Casino-side terrace is the seat to ask for; it suits a long Sunday lunch that drifts into the afternoon.

4

Rampoldi

Italian-French · Avenue des Spelugues · €90–150 per head

Sunday hours: 15:00–21:00

Rampoldi has anchored Avenue des Spelugues near the Casino since 1946, the old-Monaco room where Riviera regulars have kept tables for three generations. The crepes Suzette flambeed at the table, the homemade pasta and the classic Italian-French repertoire are the draw, with a meal around €90 to €150 a head. It opens Sunday from 3pm to 9pm and closes Monday instead, so it is the characterful early-evening Sunday pick rather than a late one. Book the main room for the tableside theatre; this is the most storied address open on a Monaco Sunday.

5

Amazonico Monte-Carlo

Latin American · Monte-Carlo, near the Casino · €90–170 per head

Sunday hours: 18:00–02:00

Amazonico Monte-Carlo is the principality's tropical party room, a jungle-themed dining room and bar that turns into the late seat as the night runs on. The Latin American grill, the open-fire meats and the sushi-and-ceviche corner are the orders, with a meal around €90 to €170 a head. It opens Sunday from 6pm to 2am, the latest kitchen on this list, so it is the Sunday-night pick for a group that wants dinner to slide into drinks and music. Book a dinner table early and stay for the bar; this is where a Monaco Sunday goes loud.

6

Coya Monte-Carlo

Peruvian · Monte-Carlo · €90–160 per head

Sunday hours: Dinner from 19:00 (seasonal, April–October)

Coya Monte-Carlo is the Riviera outpost of the global Peruvian house, a Pisco bar and dining room that runs through the summer season from April to October. The ceviches, the anticuchos from the charcoal grill and the signature lomo saltado are the orders, with a meal around €90 to €160 a head and a serious Pisco list behind the bar. It opens Sunday for dinner from 7pm in season, so a June or July Sunday is the time to come. Book a dinner table and start at the Pisco bar; it is the most fun Sunday seat away from the hotels.

How to book a Sunday table in Monte Carlo

The first rule of a Monaco Sunday is to accept that the three-star is closed and book what stays open well, which here is mostly the hotels and the institutions. Le Grill and Pavyllon both run through the Societe des Bains de Mer booking system and reward a few days' notice, more in Grand Prix and festival weeks when the principality fills. Cipriani and Rampoldi take Sunday reservations directly and the Casino-side terraces are the seats to request. Amazonico and Coya are the late rooms and book up fast on a summer Sunday, so reserve ahead and plan to stay. For a solo Sunday, the counter at Pavyllon and the bar at Amazonico are the easiest seats and a fine solo-dining move.

Frequently asked questions

Is Le Louis XV open on Sunday in Monaco?

No. Le Louis XV, Alain Ducasse's three-Michelin-star room at the Hotel de Paris, closes Sunday and Monday and serves dinner Tuesday to Saturday with lunch only on Friday and Saturday. A diner hoping to book the principality's most famous table on a Sunday night will be turned away. The good news is that Ducasse's grill upstairs, Le Grill, keeps a Sunday service, and several other upscale Monte Carlo rooms stay open, as listed here. See the Monte Carlo dining guide for the rest of the week.

Which Michelin restaurants are open on Sunday in Monte Carlo?

Le Grill at the Hotel de Paris, the Michelin-starred rooftop grill, opens Sunday for dinner from 7:15pm with its retractable roof over the harbour. Pavyllon Monte-Carlo, Yannick Alleno's Michelin-starred room at the Hotel Hermitage, runs a Sunday brunch from noon to 3pm. The flagship three-star Le Louis XV and two-star Blue Bay are dark on Sunday, so these two are the starred options for the start of the week.

Where can I get Sunday brunch in Monte Carlo?

Pavyllon Monte-Carlo at the Hotel Hermitage runs the standout Sunday brunch, Yannick Alleno's Parisian-style spread from noon to 3pm at around 145 euros a head with a glass of champagne. Cipriani Monte Carlo also serves a Sunday brunch from noon. Both are inside grand Belle Epoque hotels and both take bookings for the prime midday slots, which fill first on a sunny Riviera Sunday, so reserve a few days out.

What is the best-value restaurant open Sunday in Monte Carlo?

Value is relative in Monaco, but Rampoldi is the most characterful Sunday room for the money. The 1946 institution on Avenue des Spelugues opens Sunday from 3pm to 9pm and serves classic Italian-French dishes flambeed tableside, with a meal around 90 to 150 euros a head. It closes Monday instead. For a livelier, later Sunday, Amazonico runs its tropical room and bar from 6pm to 2am.

What time do restaurants open for Sunday dinner in Monte Carlo?

Riviera dinner service starts around 7 to 8pm, even on a Sunday. Le Grill opens Sunday dinner from 7:15pm, Coya from 7pm, and Amazonico from 6pm and runs latest to 2am. Cipriani serves Sunday lunch from noon and dinner from 7pm. For a Sunday lunch with a view, the Hotel de Paris and Hotel Hermitage rooms are the move; for a late Sunday night, Amazonico and Coya carry it into the early hours.
