What locals love about Monaco food tours

If you want to experience Monaco beyond the glitz, try a tour that spends time in the Old Town and the market by Place d’Armes. It’s where you’ll find socca stands tossing chickpea pancakes, or bars serving fougasse with tapenade straight from nearby Provençal farms.

My personal recommendation? Take a tour that includes a stop at Maison Losi Pizzas, a family-run spot that’s been the unofficial neighborhood favorite since the ’80s. Their tomato and basil pizza is simple but unforgettable. Oh, and if it’s spring, definitely try barbagiuan , a little deep-fried pastry stuffed with Swiss chard and ricotta. It’s a seasonal treat that not many tourists know about but really says Monaco’s culinary soul.
