J'y suis allée trop de fois pour compter. J'ai essayé pas mal de restos haut de gamme & aucun ne compare à Monarque pour l'instant. Je crois que Monarque est même bien mieux que certains restaurants Michelin. L'atmostphère & le service sont impeccables.

Mes recommendations:
- Les cocktails & le cocktail hot yoga
- L'os à moelle
- Le tartare de boeuf
- Le burger (heure du lunch)
- Les gnocchis
- Le dry-aged steak, sauce béarnaise
- Le plateau de fromages
- Le Paris Brest

Merci à toute l'équipe pour le service incroyable qui m'a permis d'avoir des rencontres professionnelles tout comme des dîners en famille autour de repas déliceux! 5 ⭐?

Food was ok, the flavor was not exactly outstanding by any stretch, the presentation was ok. Service was slow, 90 minutes until we got our mains. Atmosphere was nice.

We reserved the private room for a surprise birthday party, it was beautiful & the food was delicious! For a group our size, we probably could have used a bit more service since there was only one waitress & a few small mistakes happened, but that's the only downside. Overall, everything else was lovely & we had a great time!

The steak tartare & bone marrow were fabulous. The ribeye might have been one of the best steaks I've ever had (get the peppercorn sauce)!
