I stumbled upon this beautiful restaurant, which has an unobstructed view of the Mediterranean, during a lunch walk with my colleague from our office and so of course I had to take Nicole. It's one of those places that you can't resist walking by and saying wow. Well not only was the view great but the food was exquisite. The location of the restaurant is tricky. It is situated near the eastern boarder of Monaco but on French soil. You'll find it less than 1.5 miles west of Monaco on the Path called the Sentier du Littoral, which is an ocean side trail that runs all the way to Italy. It's not easy to find but once you do, you'll see placards of it (see picture). I would take a cab or walk from Monaco. Most of the roads leading to it are blocked. We ordered a bottle of Côte du Rhone red and sparkling water. The red was much like a Pino Noir, not too light and not too heavy. As an appetizer we shared their fried calamari. Stupendously delicious! The breading on the squid was prefect and if you are a calamari lover then you'll love some of the long tentacles they had. Tasted like the essence of ocean. Sitting among a garden of palms and different planted flowers with a seaside view, for the main course we ordered Mediterranean Sea Bass which came with sautéed medley of vegetables including peppers, olives, tomatoes, and zucchini, and fried gnocchi cubes. Nicole pointed out that the olives along the Mediterranean are much milder in flavor than in the US and are much more palatable and agreeable. The Mediterranean sea bass, not to be confused with a Chilean Sea Bass, had the consistency of trout without the gamey flavor, was presented to us twice: first, right after it had been prepared but not filleted on a beautiful serving tray; it was presented again on a dinning plate for dinner. Evidently, the presentation is a matter of equal importance as the service at La Difference, and it showed! At a table next to us were seated a nice couple from Russia and Turkey whom we discussed everything from our working vacation to our gastronomic adventures. They also had the sea bass and commented it was served a bit dryer than they were used to in Turkey, which also boarders the Mediterranean and has access to the same fish. Wonderfully sated, we retraced the steps I had taken back along the shore to the Monte Carlo Bay Casino on this nearly full moon night. It was a great night.

J'ai commandé la pizza Siciliana, et c'était très brûlé. Les morceaux d'aubergine étaient tous…read morerecouverts de morceaux noirs brûlés, et toute la moitié de la croûte était brûlée et inutilisable - et la croûte est la raison principale pour aller ici, car elle est censée être vraiment bonne. Le dessous de la pizza a également été brûlé. J'étais incapable de manger la plupart de mes pizzas à cause de la brûlure: je ne pouvais pas manger plus que quelques bouchées. J'étais avec un groupe de professeurs et de pairs, sinon j'aurais immédiatement informé le serveur. Comme je ne pouvais pas, j'ai dit au responsable immédiatement après que tout le monde soit parti, et il était extrêmement grossier et irresponsable - "Oh, ce n'était pas brûlé quand vous l'avez mangé, mais maintenant, c'est brûlé ?!" etc. même si c'était extrêmement grossier et irrespectueux. J'ai dit que je n'en avais pas mangé comme le serveur l'a vu quand il a récupéré mon assiette, mais ils ont refusé de me rembourser pour le repas. Encore une fois, j'aurais immédiatement dit au serveur, mais je ne pouvais pas le faire à cause de la position délicate d'être avec un groupe de professionnels - et malgré tout, aucune pizzeria respectable ne devrait servir une pizza brûlée de manière cancéreuse. J'étais à peine capable d'en manger deux bouchées. Je ne reviendrai jamais ici, gravement déçu par la nourriture brûlée et le directeur affreux et grossier. ----- I ordered the Siciliana pizza, and it was very burnt. The eggplant pieces were ALL crusted with black burnt pieces, and the whole half of the crust was burnt and uneatable - and the crust is the main reason to go here, because it's supposed to be really good. The underside of the pizza was also burnt. I was unable to eat most of my pizza because of how burnt it was - I could eat no more than a few bites. I was with a group of my professors and peers, otherwise I would have told the waiter immediately. Since I could not, I told the manager immediately after everyone else had left, and he was extremely rude and dismissive - "oh it wasn't burnt when you ate it but now it's burnt?!" etc. even though It was extremely rude and disrespectful. I said that I did not eat most of it as the waiter saw when he collected my plate, but they refused to refund me for the meal. Again, I would have told the waiter immedaitely, but I could not because of the awkward position of being with a professional group - and regardless, no respectable pizzeria should be serving pizza that is cancerously burnt. I was barely able to eat two bites of it. Will never be coming here again, severely disappointed by the burnt food and the awful, rude manager.

We started with the burrata appetizer which was creamy perfection. For our mains we had the Prime rib and the Lamb chops. Both were cooked how we liked. They were seasoned well and had excellent flavor. We had a delicious side of creamy whipped potatoes. The meat had an excessive amount of fat and gristle and it seemed that half of what we got was left behind on the plate. For dessert we split a tiramisu which wasn't tiramisu, instead it was marscapone with a Carmel sauce and a cinnamon crunch topping. It was good but not what we expected. We sat directly in front of the grill which was cool watching the grill master at work. Waitstaff were very nice. Overall, I've had better steaks and chops.

So happy that prime rib was on the menu, but when I ordered it, it came more of a rib eye which is typically my favorite. But I got teased with the "prime rib." Generous portions; see pictures. Cooked to order, but it was not cooked medium rare IMO. After a few rare bites, I asked for the chef to throw it back on the grill. It was still too rare when it came back, but by then, I was just too hungry. Lastly and most importantly, it was tough, like how can a rare steak be tough?!? I had the hardest time cutting it even with a steak knife. The rice with teriyaki sauce was good. I might try this at home next time. The veggies were okay. My wife got a chicken plate - Again, generous portions and cooked to perfection. Tender and juicy. My wife enjoyed her salad (very bitter) and veggies. She gave her meal 5 stars. Oh, and my wife had so many leftovers she will not need lunch tomorrow. Ambiance - Got a great table next to the chef. Then the heat from the oven was too much for my wife. I guess they noticed it and moved us a few tables back. Thank you. Service - Not sure if we got here too early (7pm), but our waitress was late coming to work. It took forever for the waitress to take our order. But she did come back several times to check on us. I had to ask for extra water, etc. Price - 54 Euros, $63US; reasonably priced for a steak house. Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success.
