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.
A serendipitous find during Montreal's restaurant week, this restaurant was well worth the trek to a less central part of the city. Their specialized menu was well thought-out, complex & masterfully put together. We have especially enjoyed the salmon starter & the fried rice with roe & scallops, but it's difficult to elevate one dish above the others.
Mon conjoint & moi avons adoré notre expérience à ce resto! Très bon service, bonne ambiance & la nourriture est excellente! C'était pendant l'événement Mtl à Table & nous avons partagé toute la sélection des plats! Chaque plat était SUCCULENT!!!!!! J'ai aussi pris un cocktail qui était DÉLICIEUX!
Je vais retourner à ce restaurant c'est certain!

Wow food was incredible & original. So perfectly balanced & packed with flavor. Service was excellent. Only comment would be that the metal chairs are a little uncomfortable for a longer meal.
Wow, came here once & immediately had to bring my friends. Cocktails are top notch & reasonably priced for how premium they are, both in ingredients & presentation. We visited for their Mtl à table fixed menu & were so impressed - the Salmon Crudo, Seafood rice, & pumpkin pudding were incredible. Will happily be back again in the future.
We dined here for the MTL à Table menu & everything was excellent. The appetizers & desserts were particularly divine. Incredible flavours! Highly recommend the house lemonade!
Nous avons découvert ce restaurant dans le cadre de MTL à table. Le menu était délicieux & les assaisonnements très bien maîtrisés. Portions suffisantes. Le dessert à la citrouille & aux perles de tapioca a été une très belle découverte.
Good restaurant. I've had cambodian food a handful of times & the quality was good at this restaurant. My main criticism is that all the food seemed sweet, some dishes were really too sweet for me. Service & ambiance was good, albeit a bit pricey.
First time trying this restaurant. A little intimated by the Cambodian food but we were pleasantly surprised at how good everything was, from the service, the food & the atmosphere. Will definitely got back. We highly recommend it.

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.
Everything was amazing - food, ambiance & service. We started with a papaya salad which featured both fresh & fried green papaya & the tang of the dressing & spice level was perfect. Next up was Spicy Fried chicken which was crunchy & delicious, followed by some stir fried greens that were simple yet just what we needed. The last main was a delectable pan fried cod with a coconut curry sauce which went very well with a side of sticky rice. We were hesitant to get dessert as we didn't want to jinx it but it was yummy too - a coconut milk pudding with whipped cream, pumpkin, tapioca & the surprising crunch of salty sucre a la crème. This was our first visit but it won't be the last
If you've never been, do yourself a favour a go! It's an absolute must-try. The flavours are amazing, ingredients fresh & the staff is always so friendly! Great vibe & great eats, what more could you ask for?
