Quai des Artistes is a waterfront brasserie on Port Hercule, where the terrace stretches under Monaco’s arcades and directly faces the harbor. It is one of the clearest old-school waterfront restaurants Monaco options because the appeal is rooted in the port itself: yachts, marina movement, and a long-established dining room rather than a resort or rooftop setting.

Why it ranks
Quai des Artistes ranks for a very specific Monaco vantage: in La Condamine, its terrace runs beneath the Port Hercule arcades and faces the yacht basin at ground level, not from a distant rooftop. That gives diners direct marina movement, boat views, and harbor atmosphere that the guide’s sea-facing hotels do not replicate.
