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.

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.
Everything I've ordered was delicious & authentic. My only complaint is the portion size & price ratio but overall always a good experience, amazing food & service

Was here with a large group so we had the set menu. The service was great & the ambiance & atmosphere inside is great. The problem was that almost all of the dishes had a very sweet flavour profile. As we couldn't pick the dishes, it would've been nice for the set menu to have some variety. I was quite tired of the sweetness by the end. The food in general was good.
In Hawaii we say "Broke da mouth" when food is next level up 🔝 & Street Monkey delivers that. The chef has a talent for flavor & every dish delivers a unique & delicious delight to the palate. The blend of Thai & Cambodian cuisine is absolutely amazing & definitely worth the visit. Also the waiters are very knowledgeable & friendly to bring each dish out hot from the kitchen to the table. Hilary the wife of the brilliant chef Tota Oung & the chef himself are always giving their best in this dining experience. We are so grateful for their hospitality & kindness. See you again soon. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
À ce restaurant, il vaut la peine de s'assoir au bar & regarder les chefs cuisiner. Belle attention & travail d'équipe. La nourriture était excellente. Le met avec pieuvre grillée, bien réussi avec une juste touche de saveurs. Le dessert, un riz coconut & mangue, fort bien réussi. Excellent service.
Amazing restaurant, all the plates are delicious & perfect to share, cocktails are all delicious & the service is great. Prices are actually very reasonable, we shared at least 8-9 plates amongst 3 people & I got a cocktail & I paid 68$ with tax !

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.
WESHERITOOOO tellement bon ! As a monkey from the street, personally, this restaurant is worth its weight in bananas. Take that as you will. Wowowowow 🐒

The meal we had here was unbelievable! So delicious & flavorful & the service was amazing to match. Please do yourself a favor & try the that tea Creme brulee
In many ways, the work of a critic is easy. I was around, at a friend's house, looked up some good food around on maps, & this bar/restaurant definitely stood out. My waiter was kind, he recommended the eggplant salad wich was OUTSTANDING, the chicken brochettes were DELICIOUS as well. I'll be coming back, hungry for more lol.
Take a seat & be ready for this STELLAR review. I just spent my 50th birthday at The Street Monkeys & when I say it's SUPERB, it's an understatement. 1) Hillary made the booking experience a breeze for a group of 20. We did a set meal, chef's choice of 7(!) dishes but I could request certain items if wanted. Also, she made sure to ask if there were any dietary restrictions ahead of time or anything else we needed. Thank you Hillary! 2) Chef Tota Oung, your food is magnificent! The entire group agreed & many had never tried any type of Khmer or Thai food before. Thank you & your chefs for the delicious everything! We had so much food, I got to take home the leftovers which I am feasting on as I leave this review! Arkoun Chran/Kop kun ka 3) Henry, our server, gave impeccable service! We were a big crowd in a full restaurant on a Saturday night & he made sure we were well taken care of at all times. Xie xie ni! 4)The cocktails & signature beer. YUUUMMMMMMY. I should have made a point to meet & thank the bartender. I'll be back to do that soon enough! 5) No complaints from the staff or owners about my rowdy group singing Happy Birthday 5x+ 😂 I highly recommend this restaurant if you're looking for some delicious spicy Thai / Cambodian food, delicious cocktails amazing service & a great time. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
For the foodies out there, this is a must stop shop. Vibrant flavours & atmosphere! 100% recommend getting their lamb & zucchini blossoms stuffed with shrimp 😋 Happy heart & happy belly ☯️ (unhappy wallet hehe)

Il est recommandé de partager si vous n'êtes pas un habitué de ce genre de nourriture! Nous étions 2 personnes & nous avons choisi 4 plats différents & 2 à-côtés... Nous avons terminé en étant très rassasié 😅 Chaque plats a été préparé seulement & reçu juste au moment où nous étions prêt à le recevoir! Donc chaque assiette servie est fraîchement préparée & les saveurs sont incroyables 🙌🏻 le prix final avait bien du sens considérant l'expérience gustative + que satisfaisante! Le service était impeccable, notre serveur était très attentif aux détails. Nous avons apprécié notre expérience 10/10! ⭐
A must visit in Montreal. Anything you order it does not fail to deliver. Server was extremely friendly. We always stay at the chef's table, so we can see how they prepare the food. The chefs are very professional & attentive. The stuffed wings & skewers are a must!
