Le
Borsolino, 4, blvd des Moulins, Monte Carlo.
Italian cuisine, menus
from
FF95. A
good saltimbocca for13.80 €. Wine 10.50 €/L. Service compris. ( a Jim Garner recommendation)
La
Cigale,
18 rue de Millo tel 0037793301614.
I hope it is still operating. It was a long time ago. Not far from the
harbour a non-tourist place with good average cooked cuisine (fish and seafood
mainly). Menus from 13 to 23 €.
Le
Perigourdin,
5 rue des Oliviers , Monte-Carlo tel 0037793300602
The name says it all, all out of
Perigord. The very cute pink dining room is open for lunch (menu 60 FF) and
dinner. Duck in several ways and
sauces…Langoustines roties aux agrumes, cassollette de bar cuisine à la
koskera, jus de cuisson aux palourdes, galette de queue de boeuf en croutes de
pommes de terre and a great chariot of desserts. Menu dinner 29.9 €. Carte 36-51.50 €.
Le
Saint-Benoit,
10 ter avenue de la Costa tel 377/93250234
Closed Monday for lunch and from 22
Dec—5 January
It’s the sea, that you can view out of the restaurant’s terrace, that
inspires a fresh and relaxed cuisine, maybe a little weak but let’s not be too
difficult. Could be more inventive.
terrine de poisson à la mousseline de homard, daurade royale au fenouil, honest
tarte aux poires. The menu costs 33 € (lunch wine included), 27 and 38 €.
IlTriangolo,
1 avenue de la Madone, tel 377/93306730
This trattoria, even it’s full of
tourists is one level above the average. Sympathetic
and very animated, with a cuisine without any pretension (gnocchi au Gorgonzola, tiramisu). Very sweet prices. .
Carte: 24.50-32.50 €. Menu lunch 16.75 €.

Restaurant
Pascale, 13, blvd General LeClerc, Beausoleil.
We had an
excellent
grillade forestiere there for15.50 €. A carafe of wine (3/4 L)
was 9.95 €. The
liqueures are only 4/4.50 € each and coffee is 1.50 €. Prices
are
NOT service compris. We liked it so much we went back and the food
and
service was the same the second time.
Le
Cafe Place. This is on a place on Rue de la Republique, next to the
Marie
in Beausoleil. For 10.25 € (service compris) we had an excellent ham
on
the bone.
Thai
Garden, at
the back of the Pierre te vacances residence, rue de la Marché
It's
buffet style with a 20-foot (8
m) counter of Thai dishes priced mostly at 4.50/5.50 €, with spring rolls at
0.75/1.50 € and 1.25 €. The
food looks gorgeous and we tried a couple of the dishes
and
they really were good. Patrons can take out or eat at the
Formica-topped
tables, same price. Behind the counter are delightful Thai
girls
who happily explain what everything is -- that is, they did, in
French,
to my French-Canadian wife; dunno how their English is. Wine and
beer
are available; I didn't price them.
I'd say a diner could eat well for about 9.50 € and a budget tourist could
eat
adequately for maybe half that.

Not
really a place for backpackers to stay for inexpensive hotels. But here are a
few:
Hotel
de France, 6 rue de la Turbie tel
0037793302464 fax 003770492161334
For 65 €, which is cheap for
this town, you have refurbished, agreeably decorated rooms. The rooms are with
shower
Hotel
Cosmopolite,
4 rue de la Turbie tel 0037793301695.
As a last resort! It’s not terrible but always better than sleeping in the
street! It’s clean and certainly not showy. Rooms 43.50 € for two without
shower, breakfast included. With shower 61.75 €.
Hotel Le
Balmoral, An old hotel in front of the
harbour. The rooms are renovated, every year another series. Efficacious welcome
