Discover Cambodian cuisine in this resto-bar located in Verdun. Located on one of the most beloved streets of Montreal, Street Monkeys is the perfect place to enjoy a dinner with friends or family.
Overall, reviews describe Les Street Monkeys as a vibrant spot offering inventive Cambodian-inspired cuisine with a strong emphasis on sharing plates, where many dishes and flavors are praised, from papaya salad and wasabi shrimp ceviche to stuffed wings, cod in coconut curry and other fusion twists. The service is repeatedly noted as attentive and friendly, and the bar program with cocktails earns frequent praise, along with a lively, colorful ambiance that is great for groups, dates, or casual nights out. A few comments point to small portions for the price and occasional inconsistency across dishes or noise level, and some diners note that tasting or fixed menus for larger groups can feel limiting. Nevertheless, the overall takeaway is a memorable, creative dining experience with high quality ingredients and thoughtful presentation, making it a go-to spot for exploring Cambodian-inspired flavors in a convivial setting.
Cambodian cuisine is rare in Montreal, but Street Monkeys pays great homage to it. We started with the wasabi ceviche, which was so delicious we were practically drinking the dressing by the end. The stir-fried squid was tender & flavourful, & the fried cod curry was saucy yet somehow remained perfectly crispy. The bone marrow was also absolutely decadent. This was my first time trying Cambodian food, & Street Monkeys set the bar high.

Les portions sont minuscules & vraiment trop cher. 15$ pour 2 mini brochette de boeuf, avec aucun accompagnement. Sans parler des drinks a 17$. C'est du vol. Dommage, j'avais bien aimer leur foodtruck.
We had two coconut based curry (fried cod with amok sauce & samlor cari khmer) & I found them overly sweet. They offer only a few vegan options which are average. The yuzu pandan drink tasted only yuzu & the pandan part is a piece of leaf inside as decor yet Lucy Liu cocktail is not bad. Last, beef tartare quality is unstable same as their service attitude. Overall not my cup of tea.
I've been to this restaurant a few times over the years & it never disappoints. Fresh tasting perfectly spiced food, fun drinks & attentive service. 5 stars
I would recommend this place for a quick drink & a bite , but not for a full course meal.
Sharing dishes is fine with us , but the cod & the scallops (42$) were served lukewarm instead of piping hot because they plate the food on cold plates. The taste was delicious. Avoid the beef skewers , poor quality meat , very stringy. The sticky rice was served in a weird little plastic bag, it was just plain rice ….. all & all won't go back , 200$ later & this being a birthday supper , a bit disappointing…
I also mentioned this to the waiter (cold food etc ), nothing … too bad it seems
Went early so the noise level was fine..
Thats the place to go if u want to discover fusion asian cuisine the food is cambodian thai laos influence i mostly go there for friend events I love the chicken stuffed wings tapas the pork curry with coconut milk. Beef lemongrass skewers. & if ur brave try the shrimp Ceviche wasabi….🤧🥴 the personal that work there are really friendly & professional u can see they give attention to détail. & wait for the drinkers lover lot of cool cocktail & mocktails.

We had a really good experience here, from the food to the drinks to the service, everything came together nicely. The space has a fun, laid-back vibe that makes it perfect for a casual night out.
We ordered:
• Papaya salad
• Wasabi shrimp ceviche
• Steak
✨ Stuffed Wings: hands down the highlight of the night. It was such a creative, flavorful, & absolutely delicious dish.
Every dish felt thoughtful & full of personality. They are creative but not over the top. Would definitely come back again next time I'm in Montreal.
Delicious, fresh, & beautiful presented food (best lamb chops ever tasted) & very good drinks (love their signature mezcal cocktail) Beautiful decor & good ambiance. Excellent & courteous service. They even explain every dish served. Have visited many times, for date night, birthdays, girls night out, & Les Street Monkeys' team never disappoint. Thanks, see you soon
Food were very delicious, & I love them a lot! The server was super friendly & attentive. However, the restaurant was very loud, & I barely heard the conversation. Another drawback of the restaurant is the portion is very small & expensive. A small plate of food for $20-$30. Two of us ordered one drink each, 4 plates & desserts cost $160 before tax & tips. & we still didn't feel full!

Amazing night at Street Monkeys! It was amazing to be seated by the chef counter on a cold night since the heat of the kitchen warmed us up! The food was amazing; the lamb chops were tender & juicy, the drinks are very well balanced & beer was perfect! The steak & fried chicken are also very tasty! The ceviche was AMAZING but it is not for the faint of heart when it comes to spicyness! Will be back soon enough since this is truly a food gem in Montreal.
Nous étions un groupe de 12 personnes. On nous oublige à prendre le menu groupe à 60$. Les portions de crève-faim, nous avons comparés les assiettes des gens dans le resto, & on avait 1 assiette pour 4 personnes quand on voit très bien que l'assiette était pour 1 personne. Les drinks! Oh lala! 17$ pour un petit verre d'alcool!!!! Les plats goûtait trop la sauce poisson. Côté viande, 1 petite côtelette d'agneau, 1 brochette de poulet & 1/4 de poisson vivanneau pour chaque personne. Nous avions des gars avec nous qui avaient faim!! Bcp de légumes. 7 plats qui selon moi ne valait pas 60$ par personne & pas de dessert pour conclure le tout. La qualité de la nourriture est bonne, les assiettes sont soignées, mais si vous avez faim, n'allez pas là. Trop cher! On s'est senti volé! Raison pourquoi nous n'allons plus au resto surtout à Mtl!
Delicious. Smaller plates that don't disappoint. Treat yourself to the wasabi shrimp to kick start your culinary experience. We went for some drinks & snacks but left having sampled the menu. Will return.

I have been several times, & am never disappointed. The food is so flavourful & delicious. The stuffed chicken wings are to die for. The fish amok is also a win, but would have liked a little more sauce on the plate. The lamb was scrumptious as well. The papaya salad was a little underwhelming, it missed a little oomph even though we asked for it spicy. A pet peeve i have when i go to a SHARING restaurant is when they serve you an odd number in the plate. 3 wings, 3 lamb chops. I mean, I nearly had to fight my companion, but in the end we split them equitably. :) The drinks are also very good.
Impeccable service catered to your needs, with knowledgeable servers there to answer any questions & to make suggestions. Everything that we ate was absolutely delicious, as were our drinks. A total experience!
Went on a dinner date with friends. Spectaculaire vibe to the place for a date night or moody dinner. Bar & table seating available but the place gets busy so make a reservation! Food was delicious! Smaller delicate portions meant for sharing, would recommend getting multiple plates & a side of rice doesn't hurt. dessert was perfect, not too heavy or overly sweet. Crème brûlée was so so good & I had to hold myself back from eating the whole thing! Drinks were by far some of the best cocktails we've had in ages. My partner got a coconut mocktail that was hard to resist & they do not skimp on the booze so prepare for a hearty drink! Would definitely go here just to sip on a drink & catch up with friends.
