Fodor's Expert Review Club Bouliste du Rocher

If you want insight into the life of a Monaco native without paying for it, follow Avenue des Pins before the oceanography museum, just next to the Pavillion Bosio until you see the sign on the gate for Club Bouliste du Rocher. You won’t find a more local vibe than here, as members sit on plastic purple chairs sipping pastis or eating the traditional dish, barbajuans (fried chard-filled ravioli) at the club restaurant, which is open to the public daily 8–8. Members are top priority but anyone can book in advance, which is highly recommended seeing as a three-course lunch is only €21. Or pop in for a coffee and the views of Port Hercule.
