France's food is world-renowned for its elegance and perfection. The area of Monaco offers authentic French fanfare, but also is home to quirky local favorites and international delights.
Socca is a traditional pancake made of chickpea flour, olive oil, salt and water. Arguably, the best version of this addictive dish is found at Pip Socca in Nice, reports Fodor's. Due to their big base of clientele, it seems patrons return often for their crispy cakes that they make in large copper tins.
Some guests may be hesitant about Monte Carlo with its excessive glitz and glamour, but the area is home to some spectacular French cuisine that may be worth a splurge, reports Frommer's. Rampoldi has some old-world charm and a festive spirit that ignites their dishes with flavor and character. The tortellini with a white-truffle cream sauce is great alongside a homemade crepe to finish.
Kids can have a fun food experience as well inside the principality. Parents may groan at the Stars n' Bars Americanized theme of burgers and pizza, however it may prove to be a nice break during a big exotic getaway.
