Avenue 31 

• When I came to Monaco, I was only there for a few hours- so I only had one dinner on my schedule! This place had great seafood and great cocktails. It was upscale, but not too fancy. A disclaimer is that I did come here pre pandemic, so I am unsure if it is the same as it was when I went. This was also an easier spot to get a reservation. Although it was not by any means cheap, it was definitely a cheaper option than going with some of the more well known spots in town such as Nobu.

Buddha Bar

• My friend and I stopped for a drink here before our dinner reservation. It had a really cool vibe, and we could have definitely just stayed for dinner if we wanted. It definitely gets clubbier later in the night because they were starting to take away the dinner tables for a larger floor space as we were leaving. There are a ton of locations around the world such as Dubai and Prague. This is definitely the trendier place to be if you want to go out.
