Often called Perles de Monte Carlo, they can’t seem to decide… 3 Les Perles de Monte-Carlo are Monaco's signature locally refined oysters, grown and served at an open-air seafood bar located at the tip of the breakwater in Port de Fontvieille. Established in 2011 by marine biologists Brice Cachia and Frédéric Rouxeville, the enterprise uses an eco-friendly process to finish and ripen oysters in the Mediterranean. The Farming & Refining ProcessStart in Brittany: Oyster larvae arrive from Brittany and spend time growing in a controlled, phytoplankton-fed hatchery.Maturation: They return to Brittany to grow large before coming back to Monaco.Mediterranean Finish: The oysters spend two to three weeks ripening in deep-sea water pumped from 12 meters down in Port de Fontvieille. Flavor Profile: This unique finishing gives the meat a balanced texture and a distinct hint of hazelnut. The Restaurant ExperienceLocation: Situated at Quai Jean-Charles Rey at the very end of the pier in Fontvieille.Atmosphere: Casual and rustic setting with simple wooden benches and outdoor tables right by the water.Menu Highlights: Fresh oysters, sea urchins, grilled prawns, pan-fried scallops, and local catch cooked a la plancha paired with organic wine.If you are planning a visit or looking for specific information, let me know if you need:Reservation details or contact numbersInformation on other local seafood dishes served on the menu Edited on 13/08/2026 at 19:50:37.
