Where to drink Champagne in Monaco?

Monaco is one of those places where Champagne feels completely at home. With its luxury hotels, fine-dining restaurants, beach clubs and glamorous nightlife, Champagne is part of the landscape rather than something you only order for a special occasion.

The obvious starting point is Monte-Carlo, but there’s more to Monaco than the casino area. You can have Champagne overlooking the Mediterranean, stop for a glass between shopping and sightseeing, or make a bottle part of a long dinner.

Champagne with a Mediterranean view

Monaco is tiny, which makes it easy to combine several very different settings in one day. Start around Casino de Monte-Carlo, wander through the streets of Monte-Carlo, head towards the harbour and finish somewhere overlooking the Mediterranean.

The sea also has a big influence on what you’ll find on the plate. Oysters, seafood, fish and Mediterranean vegetables all make natural companions for Champagne, particularly when you’re sitting outside with the sea in front of you.

And if you’re staying for dinner, Monaco is a good place to explore French and Mediterranean cooking side by side. The food can be decidedly luxurious, but you’ll also find plenty of simpler Mediterranean flavours if you look beyond the grand hotels.

Monaco beyond the Champagne

The obvious Monaco experience is Monte-Carlo, but it’s worth giving yourself time to explore the rest of the principality too.

Walk through Monaco-Ville, the old town on the Rock, visit the Oceanographic Museum, wander around Port Hercule or head towards Larvotto for the Mediterranean atmosphere.

And if you’re here during the Monaco Grand Prix, the whole place becomes a different beast. Hotels, restaurants and bars get exceptionally busy, prices rise and reservations become much more important. If Champagne is part of your plans during race weekend, book ahead rather than hoping to find a table on the day.

Good to know

Monaco is very easy to combine with the rest of the Riviera. Nice is only a short train ride away, so you don’t necessarily need to stay in Monaco to enjoy it. You can spend a day exploring Monte-Carlo, have your Champagne, watch the sunset over the Mediterranean and head back to Nice in the evening.

That also makes Monaco interesting for Champagne Hunters who want to explore the area without paying Monaco prices for every meal and hotel night.

Frequently asked questions

Is Champagne popular in Monaco?

Very much so. Champagne is well established in Monaco’s luxury hotels, restaurants, beach clubs and nightlife, and you’ll find both bottles and, depending on the venue, Champagne by the glass.

Can I drink Champagne by the glass in Monaco?

Yes, you’ll find venues offering Champagne by the glass, although some places are more bottle-focused. Check the individual listing before you go, as selections change.

What food goes well with Champagne in Monaco?

Seafood, oysters, fish and Mediterranean appetisers are easy choices. Monaco’s location means you’ll find plenty of fresh Mediterranean ingredients alongside French and Italian influences.

Does Monaco produce its own wine?

Monaco does not have a major wine-producing tradition comparable to neighbouring France or Italy. Instead, its wine scene benefits from being surrounded by established wine regions.

Is Monaco expensive for Champagne?

It can be. Monaco is one of Europe’s most expensive destinations, particularly around Monte-Carlo and during major events. If you’re looking for a more relaxed Champagne experience, check wine bars and restaurants away from the most famous luxury addresses.

Is Monaco worth visiting during the Grand Prix?

If you’re a Formula 1 fan, absolutely – but expect the city to be exceptionally busy. Book restaurants and Champagne spots well ahead of time if you’re visiting during race weekend.

Can I visit Monaco as a day trip from Nice?

Yes, and it’s a very easy option. Nice and Monaco are connected by train, making it possible to spend the day exploring Monaco, stop for Champagne and return to Nice in the evening.

What else should I do in Monaco?

Visit Monaco-Ville and the Oceanographic Museum, walk around Port Hercule, see Casino de Monte-Carlo and spend some time by the Mediterranean in Larvotto. Monaco is small enough that you can fit quite a lot into one day.
