Popular Local Cuisine

Pan Bagnat

A sandwich might not seem special when talking about delicacies. However, Pan Bagnat is different. This sandwich comes stacked high with anchovies or tuna (some come with both), hard-boiled eggs, and raw vegetables, topped off with olive oil, salt, and pepper. All these go into a round French bread, sometimes rubbed with garlic. It's also worth noting that the bread comes with plenty of olive oil. Given what's in it, you can think of the sandwich as a tuna salad wrapped in bread. In nearby Nice, you can also find the sandwich in bakeries and markets. On your next visit to Monaco, be sure to try this special "tuna salad".
