Castelroc
A family restaurant beside Prince's Palace Square, now in its fourth generation, known for stocafi, the traditional Monegasque stewed dried cod.
Located on the old town side of Prince's Palace Square, facing the Palace, the restaurant has a terrace overlooking Fontvieille harbour and the Mediterranean. The same family has run it since the 1950s, and it is now in its fourth generation. It specialises in traditional Monegasque home cooking and seafood. The signature stocafi is a local dish of dried cod slow-cooked with olive oil, onion, garlic and black olives. Other dishes include barbajuan, small fried pastries filled with Swiss chard and ricotta, and Provençal stuffed vegetables. Lunch is served daily. À la carte dishes cost around EUR 20–36, and the daily set menu is about EUR 38. Reviews are mixed, but the location and views are the most praised. It is a short walk from the Palace after the changing of the guard.
