Gypset guide to Monaco

Where to go and what to wear for a short break in Monaco?

Monaco (Monte Carlo) 🥂🍾

Each trip to Monaco brings the memories from many years back, when I used to live there. Few things have changed since, but the core still stands.

  • super short skirts - the definition of short is different in MC
  • age and looks gap in a couple - 60 years old not that great looking men with gorgeous 30 years old women 
  • everyone is trying to sell you something  

They build new hotels and restaurants every year. However, our favourites would still be the same.

Restaurants:



Maya Bay - best ever Thai and Japanese in Monaco. Food is to die for in a beautiful setting.

Beef Bar - best meat in Fontvielle with great ambience 

Cipriani - the place to see and be seen. Food is average but the scene is worth going 

Bars and clubs:

Sass cafe - if you feel like a late cup 

Bar American - if you're a lonely gentleman 

Bagatelle - if you know bouncers from numetous bagatelles all over the world 

Twiga - to go after all above 

Lunch on the beach:

Monte Carlo beach club - Brasserie Le deck is the best choice for Sunday brunch

Anjuna beach - Ibiza style restaurant with a small beach 

Mala beach - the only decent beach around MC with good music and food 

Paloma - great for fish, but only before 2pm, after which you're in the shadow 

Beach:


Go somewhere else! 

What to wear:

As mentioned above, not much has changed in the principality. Sparkles, high heels and body con rule the scene. To stand out from see through divas and bring some bohemian look into town, we suggest you to dress down and try lose fits to show your personality rather than your body (if you're reading our blog, we know you're in amazing form anyway 😉). You can still play with colours! It's summer, for God's sake!

Valenki - bohemian felted boots

Valenki are traditional Russian winter footwear 
Hand painted felted boots
They are made by felting wool felt and are essentially felt boots. Traditionally they come without a sol and worn with 'galoshi' (rubber or plastic cover) to protect the soles from water and wear. I remember wearing Valenki in the kindergarten back in Moscow, so did everyone else 😍 Valenki used to be a traditional foot wear in Russia, but then they became seen as unpractical mostly in the cities.

Today, when we witness revival of ethnic and eco friendly clothing, valenki become a popular choice for bohemian boots for organic clothes lovers.
Valenki are warm felted highboots made from dried sheep’s wool, they are quite soft and get the form of the human's sol. They are traditionally worn for walking on dry snow when the weather is frosty, so they best place for them would be a ski resort ⛷🎿
The best ones are either hand painted:

or hand embroidered:

Wear Valenki with a Folk Merino Gilet:
