Best Restaurants Open Late in Monte Carlo 2026
Open Late · Monaco · 6 tables ranked · Updated June 2026
Compiled by the Restaurants for Kings editorial team · Published May 20, 2024 · Updated June 15, 2026
Monaco's reputation is built on its nightclubs, not its kitchens, and the distinction matters after eleven. Most of the principality's glamorous dining rooms, the Michelin names included, stop cooking by 22:30 or 23:00 even as the bars and clubs run to dawn. The genuine late map is short: a celebrity canteen plating to 3am, a Place du Casino brasserie at fair prices, a rooftop grill, a seafront Japanese room, an American barn at the port and a casino pan-Asian table. These six keep a kitchen running past eleven, several past midnight, and they are ranked here by how late they actually cook, how good it is, and what you pay for the privilege in a city that charges for everything.
1.Sass Cafe
Monaco's celebrity canteen plates lobster linguine until 3am with the markup mostly in the wine; for the late scene, book it.
Sass Cafe has been Monaco's after-dark canteen since 1993, run by the Treves family on Avenue Princesse Grace, with a kitchen that serves from 8pm to 3am while a singer works the room and DJs take over after one. The cooking is competent Mediterranean and Italian, the lobster linguine and the truffle risotto the orders to make, and the bill lands anywhere from €60 to €180 a head depending on how the wine goes. You pay for the scene as much as the plate, and the markup hides in the bottles rather than the food, so order carefully and it is fair for what Monaco is.
Book ahead at weekends; kitchen serves to 3am.
2.Cafe de Paris Monte-Carlo
The Place du Casino brasserie serves Crepe Suzette past midnight at fair brasserie prices; for late value here, reserve a table.
The Cafe de Paris brasserie reopened on Place du Casino in 2023 and is the best straight value of Monaco's glamorous late tables. Chef Victor Marion runs a classic French menu to around 1am, with daily specials at €39 and the flambeed Crepe Suzette, invented in this room, at €22. It is a working brasserie rather than a club with food, so you can sit down at midnight for steak tartare or veal liver without a bottle minimum. For a late dinner that does not punish the wallet, this is the one to book in the principality.
Walk in late; brasserie kitchen runs to ~1am.
3.Amazonico Monte-Carlo
Grilled Latin plates land on the Cafe de Paris rooftop until 2am; for a late dinner with theatre, pencil it in.
Amazonico opened on the Cafe de Paris rooftop in April 2024 and its bar and lounge serves the full a la carte until around 2am, later at weekends. Chef Jerome Lorvellec runs a Latin American grill, the charcoal meats and the pulled-pork patacones the dishes to share, with mains landing roughly €40 to €60 before the wine. The room is loud and theatrical, which is the point this late, and the value sits in the grill rather than the cocktails. For a late dinner with a show built in, pencil it in.
Book the rooftop; a la carte to ~2am.
4.Twiga Sumosan
Sumosan's black cod runs to 1am before the room turns club; for sushi after midnight in Larvotto, drop by.
Twiga Sumosan sits on the Larvotto seafront and runs two kitchens, Japanese Sumosan and Italian Crazy Fish, serving a full menu until 1am before pizza and focaccia snacks carry the club crowd to 4am. The miso black cod is the dish to order, and the a la carte is firmly high-end, with mains from around €50 and Grand Prix menus far higher. It is more restaurant than the clubs and more club than the brasseries, a useful middle for sushi after midnight. For late Japanese in Monaco, drop by before one.
Reserve before 1am for the full menu.
5.Stars'n'Bars
The port's American grill cooks burgers to midnight every night at honest prices; for a late feed without the markup, head here.
Stars'n'Bars has anchored Port Hercule since 1993, an American entertainment barn run by Kate Powers and Didier Rubiolo with a kitchen open non-stop from 11am to midnight every day. The food is honest American grill, burgers and steaks in the €20 to €35 range, which by Monaco standards is close to a bargain. There is no bottle minimum and no scene tax, just a reliable kitchen that is still cooking when the smarter rooms have shut. For a late feed without the markup, this is the value play on the page.
Walk in; kitchen open to midnight daily.
6.Buddha-Bar Monte-Carlo
Asian plates and black cod miso run to midnight on weekends near the casino; for a late date, try it once.
Buddha-Bar Monte-Carlo, in the casino complex run by Societe des Bains de Mer, serves pan-Asian food from 7:30pm with the kitchen running to 11:30pm midweek and midnight on Friday and Saturday. The black cod miso and the dim sum platters are the orders, with mains around €35 to €60 before the room turns to DJs and cocktails. It is the most atmospheric of the genuinely late kitchens, dark and loud, better for a late date than a quiet dinner. Come at the weekend when the kitchen runs latest, and try it once for the room.
Book Fri or Sat; kitchen latest then.
Not for a late dinner
Right city, wrong hour
Beefbar. Riccardo Giraudi's Beefbar on the Fontvieille docks has been a Monaco fixture since 2005 and the meat is the best in the principality, but the kitchen closes at 22:30 on weekdays and only stretches to about 23:30 at the weekend. It is a destination dinner to book early, not a spontaneous late table. Go for an eight o'clock booking and keep this page for the hours after it has shut.
Song Qi. Song Qi on Avenue Princesse Grace, the gastronomic Chinese room from Alan Yau and the Giraudi group since 2014, is excellent but its kitchen stops at 23:00, only 23:30 on Friday and Saturday. It sits right on the threshold rather than past it, so it does not count as a genuine late kitchen. Book it for an early dinner and walk on for anything later.
Booking a late table in Monaco
The rule in Monaco is to separate the kitchen from the club, because most of the glamorous names stop cooking long before they stop pouring. For a genuine late dinner, head to Sass Cafe, the Cafe de Paris brasserie or Amazonico on its rooftop, all of which serve real food past midnight, and book ahead at the weekend when the rooms fill with the after-casino crowd. Twiga and Buddha-Bar run latest on Friday and Saturday, so time those for the weekend and ask for a dinner seating rather than a club table.
If you arrive late without a plan, Stars'n'Bars at the port is the safe, fair-priced bet, with a kitchen open to midnight every night and no bottle minimum. Confirm the kitchen's last order when you book rather than trusting the posted closing time, since in Monaco the room often runs hours past the stove. Watch the wine list everywhere here, as that is where the bill is made, and remember that several of these rooms charge for the scene as much as the plate.
Frequently asked
Which Monaco restaurant has the latest kitchen?
Sass Cafe on Avenue Princesse Grace serves food until around 3am, the latest real kitchen in the principality, though the room turns to DJs after one. Twiga runs its full menu to 1am before snacks carry on to 4am, and Amazonico's a la carte runs to about 2am. For a sit-down dinner genuinely past midnight, Sass, Amazonico and the Cafe de Paris brasserie are the reliable choices.
Do Monaco kitchens close early?
Many do. The principality's gastronomic names, Beefbar and Song Qi included, stop cooking by 22:30 or 23:00 even though Monaco runs late as a nightlife city. The late hours belong to the clubs and lounges, not most of the kitchens, which is why this list is built around the handful of rooms that genuinely keep a stove going past eleven.
Where can I eat late in Monaco on a budget?
Stars'n'Bars at Port Hercule is the value pick, an American grill with burgers and steaks at 20 to 35 euros and a kitchen open to midnight every night, with no bottle minimum. The Cafe de Paris brasserie is fair too, with daily specials at 39 euros. Most other late rooms in Monaco charge for the scene, with the bill made on the wine list.
What is the best late dinner in Monaco?
For food past midnight with a sense of occasion, Sass Cafe is the classic, Mediterranean and Italian plates from around 72 euros a head in a room that has run since 1993. Amazonico's rooftop grill is the newer draw, open to about 2am. For a straight brasserie dinner at fair prices, the Cafe de Paris on Place du Casino is the one to book.
Can I walk in for a late table in Monaco?
Sometimes. Stars'n'Bars and the Cafe de Paris brasserie take late walk-ins more easily, while Sass Cafe, Twiga and Amazonico are booking-led at the weekend when the after-casino crowd arrives. Confirm the kitchen's last order when you reserve, since in Monaco the room routinely stays open hours after the stove has stopped.
