Maison Gigi Monaco: A Fresh Gastronomic Gem at Port Hercule

With panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea, Monaco’s iconic harbor, the Prince’s Palace, and the legendary F1 circuit, Maison Gigi Monaco is more than just a restaurant — it’s a front-row seat to the Principality’s most picturesque and energetic scenes. Located at Port Hercule, this newly opened culinary hotspot has already made a name for itself, during the Formula 1 Grand Prix evenings, it became one of the most coveted locations.

Maison Gigi is a traditional Italian trattoria, offering classic Italian cuisine. Its menu is a tribute to the flavors, made from the finest ingredients and presented with flair. Starters include sea bream carpaccio with citrus and marinated watermelon, mini arancini infused with truffle, and zucchini flowers stuffed with creamy mozzarella. Beef tartare, octopus served over chickpea cream, and smoked seabass showcase the kitchen’s refined technique and dedication to seasonal produce.

Pasta lovers will rejoice over dishes such as fettuccine with veal ragu and linguine with sea urchins, while meat enthusiasts can savor spicy grilled baby chicken, Piedmontese ribeye, and Black Angus prime cuts. The pizza selection is as indulgent as it is authentic, and the desserts — including the signature Maison Gigi tiramisu and a delightful ricotta and sour cherry cake — promise a sweet finale.

The restaurant’s interior is a harmonious blend of soft white, Rubin red, and warm wood tones accented with golden details, creating an inviting and stylish ambiance. With both an indoor dining room and a spacious terrace, guests can choose their setting — whether for a sunny lunch by the sea or a candlelit dinner under the stars. What truly sets Maison Gigi apart is its playful decor, personalized service, and table-side show, adding a touch of theatre to the dining experience.

On weekends, Maison Gigi transforms into a lively destination where festive energy takes over: elegant cocktails, ambient music, and an atmosphere that’s always celebratory yet refined. The bar boasts an impressive collection of rare and exceptional spirits, offering everything from fine wines to exclusive digestifs.
