Fodor's Expert Review Café de Paris

The landmark Belle Époque Brasserie 1900—better known as Café de Paris—reopened in summer 2023 after an ambitious renovation. Supercilious and super-professional waiters still fawn gracefully over titled preeners, jet-setters, and tourists enjoying classic fare (shellfish, steak tartare, matchstick frites), but now there is an additional floor. Although the emphasis is on beef at the new rooftop Amazonico restaurant, it also has a sushi bar and a jazz club. To claim "I've been there," grab a chair outside in Place du Casino, order a €9 coke or a €10 Monaco beer, and sit back to watch the show.
