U Cavagnetu
U' Cavagnëtu
A three-generation family restaurant tucked into the old town's alleys, open since 1967, offering good-value meals and a platter of local starters.
Located on Comte Félix Gastaldi Street in the Monaco old town, a few steps from the Prince's Palace, the restaurant has been run by the same family for three generations since 1967. The menu is broad, with pasta, seafood, meat and pizza. The most distinctive item is the Monegasque starter platter, which includes house-made barbajuan, pissaladière (onion and olive tart) and fried zucchini, and it pairs well with local wines. A set menu of about EUR 34 (starter platter, sea bass and dessert) is well reviewed. Recent comments on service and individual dishes are mixed, so check the bill when you pay. It suits a simple meal while exploring the old town.
