Maona Monte-Carlo

Fabulous place to spend a Saturday summer lunch/afternoon. Good food and fun atmosphere, some dancing and plate smashing. A great place for a group of friends.

We visited Maona Monte-Carlo as a closing dinner to our visit to Monaco. It was one of the most incredible dinners we’ve experienced. The food was truly amazing, just as the accompanying wine and cocktails. The live piano music, singing, lighting and further atmospheric details made it perfect for us. A special thanks to Laura, our server, for making our night extra special. We will surely return to Maona and we would recommend it to anyone who wants a special night out.

The food was not bad but it was oky. The stake was over rated 6/10 the crab salad was great 10/10 the mushroom pasta was 5/10. We orders as well eggplant with tomato sauce it was 7/10. The cauliflower with cheese was 10/10. The atmosphere 10/10 Its a sea side view they had music planing and sining great for couples. Worth going.

We were very disappointed by the level of service. Your staff is rather poorly trained and not very attentive. It started raining and even though the restaurant wasn’t full, they never managed to transfer our water to the sheltered table. Then we had to ask 4x for the tea we ordered. Last, being charged 36€ for 4 shots of lemon juice (of which one was never brought to the new table) was simply ridiculous. I have no intention of visiting Maona again. We had a reservation for the coming Saturday which we will be cancelling after this poor experience.

Excellent service, great atmosphere, amazing music and vibe but ok food. The setting is great, service was impeccable and music was just great. Staff was encouraging people to dance and the music was so good that even if some people didn’t stand up they were dancing sitting at the table. Food was ok, saganaki was ok but not great and calamari were very rubbery. Kafta and steak were fine. Our mains arrived very late but the staff was coming with updates without us prompting them, apologising repeatedly, brought us drinks (they saw we were ordering before) again but on the house as an apology (we didn’t ask). At the end they didn’t charge us for some sides too - I didn’t ask for discount on the bill but it was a very nice touch. Would I come back? - yes for atmosphere and service but hope they will improve food too.

An Iconic Experience at Maona Monaco Maona Monaco is a standout destination in the heart of Monaco, offering a unique blend of elegance and Mediterranean charm. The vibrant atmosphere, enhanced by live music that adds a soulful touch to the evening, creates an unforgettable experience. The staff is attentive and professional, ensuring that every detail is taken care of with precision. Whether it’s the beautifully crafted dishes or the warm service, Maona offers more than just a meal—it’s an evening immersed in Monaco’s timeless allure.

I visited Maona yesterday with another couple, drawn in by the stunning Instagram advertisements and the promise of authentic Greek cuisine by the sea. While the location was indeed beautiful, sadly, that was the only highlight of our evening. From the start, the experience felt off. There were more staff members than customers, which wouldn’t have been an issue if they had been productive. The menu was extremely limited and vague, especially concerning the fish dishes, where prices and quantities were not specified. We ordered a lamb souvlaki dish priced at €80, supposedly meant to be shared. What arrived was frankly insulting—just five small pieces of lamb accompanied by many poorly prepared vegetables. We also ordered a saganaki, which was mediocre at best, and an octopus dish that included only a third of a leg for €32—an absolute rip-off. The calamari plate was equally disappointing: four to five small pieces, again €32. In total, we paid around €250 and left completely unsatisfied. So much so that we had to go elsewhere afterward to actually eat. Overall, Maona seems to prioritize appearance and social media appeal over quality and value. I cannot recommend this place. A beautiful view is not enough to justify such a poor dining experience.

Lots of fun! Great ambience and super nice staff with an upbeat vibe. The music is mostly funk. Great cosy interior and also good if you only want to grab a drink. Always a nice crowd of people there! Enjoyed it and will definitely be back soon.
