Some sushi tips for Monaco

If you’re serious about sushi in Monaco, consider timing your visit during the week and head to Maki Maki for something casual that still nails freshness without breaking the bank. Also, keep an eye out for hidden gems tucked in the smaller streets off the main drag, especially around the Condamine area. Locals often praise the fish quality there more than the glitzy spots overlooking the harbor.

And here’s a little insider tip , try ordering uni if it’s in season; it pops up sporadically at a few places, but when it does, it’s almost always fantastic and worth the price. Don’t hesitate to ask the chef what’s freshest that day; Monaco’s sushi scene thrives on those small conversations.
