Try a Thai in Monaco

We found it off a quiet, tiny street near Port Hercule, Rue de Millo. It would be an alley in the States, but here, with  old-world cobblestones and locals sitting on balconies, watching life go by, it has charm.

Dazed at the end of a trip to the Cote d'Azur, we were hungry for something that wasn't French or Italian. Or heavy with the Monaco bling thing! We sat down among families and couples speaking English, all dressed very casually. The waitress brought us menus that had the traditional Thai food titles, along with French and English descriptions.

Beginning with the sampler of all things fried, we went on to a noodle dish, Pad See Ew, and a green curry. Both dishes were pretty good, not really spicy for Thai food, and the curry was a bit watery. The other dishes I saw looked decent, edible, and presentable. All in all it was a nice place to have an easy dinner. It's nothing spectacular, but hey, it's Thai food in Europe; and it's cheap, friendly and casual. Now if they only had a Tuk Tuk...

Le Riad is a Moroccan restaurant in Cannes- I realise this isn't a rarity in France but being half Maghrebian, I know what constitutes a good cous cous.

Looking for a way to spice up your evening? Longing for a great curry but don't know where to go? Well look no further than the ‘Kashmir' in Antibes.

The popular Maya Bay restaurant, decorated in red and beige tones with authentic looking Chinese vases, opened their annexe the Maya Bar in 2007.
