U Cavagnetu

Monaco


The crush of tourist-oriented restaurants in the narrow streets of Le Rocher may make you want to run screaming, but U Cavagnetu is worth sticking around for. The tasty line-up of authentic Monégasque treats includes barbajuans (deep-fried ravioli), beignets de courgettes (zucchini fritters) and poulpe à la monégasque (octopus stewed with tomatoes, onion, garlic, parsley and wine).
