Les avis sur Monarque convergent vers une expérience culinaire souvent remarquable et variée selon la section brasserie ou salle a manger, avec une ambiance élégante et chaleureuse et une décoration qui respire le quartier. La cuisine est globalement raffinée, des plats phares comme l os a moelle, le tartare de thon, la bouillabaisse et le canard confit revenant avec des saveurs bien équilibrées et des textures travaillées. Le service est majoritairement attentif et professionnel, mais des témoignages signalent des variations selon les serveurs et des temps d attente.

Without doubt the rudest, most high on their own supply Maitre'd ever encountered, who is a detriment to an otherwise adequate showing worthy of a cold night with little on the calendar. Food good if not inspired, winelist a gem or two. Bar staff knowledgeable & friendly.
We had a really nice experience overall at Monarque. The starters were absolutely amazing , both the cold & hot appetizers were delicious, so much so that we ended up ordering two of each. Every bite was full of flavor. Dessert was also excellent & definitely a highlight of the meal.
That said, the main courses were a bit disappointing compared to how strong the beginning & end of the meal were. The veal, unfortunately, wasn't very good in my opinion. The sauce felt lacking, & the veal had a slightly too earthy taste for my liking. The fish was okay, but nothing particularly memorable.
Overall, the appetizers & desserts really stood out & made the experience enjoyable, but the mains didn't quite live up to the same standard. A little disappointing, but it is what it is.
A very fancy restaurant with delicious food & lots of varieties. I really enjoyed our dinner there. The service was top, excellent, the food well served & tasty. Loved my experience.
Such a great restaurant...
Depending upon your palate & food tastes, you can book accordingly... The last time I was there my wife & I sat at the bar... It was sooo fun! Same food & wine - but the bartender repartee was amazing!!
Loved this restaurant! A great place to go for a special occasion. The service was great, the ambiance was nice & the food was incredible - great flavours, perfect portions so you could enjoy everything. My compliments to the Chef & everyone in the kitchen.

Monarque offers fantastic service & sophisticated decor. The trout tartare is divine-fresh & expertly textured-while the octopus & lamb use high-quality ingredients. However, the brasserie lighting is too bright, & the atmosphere could be warmer & cozier for diners.
Très belle expérience dans ce restaurant. L'accueil était chaleureux dès notre arrivée & le service est resté excellent tout au long du repas. Les plats étaient savoureux & bien présentés. On sent que les ingrédients sont frais. Je vais certainement revenir.
Très belle découverte ! Le restaurant a une super ambiance & le service est vraiment chaleureux. Les plats étaient délicieux & bien présentés, on voit que les ingrédients sont frais. L'équipe prend le temps de s'assurer que tout est parfait pour les clients. Je vais définitivement revenir & recommander la place à mes amis.
Had an absolutely wonderful dining experience here! The atmosphere was warm & welcoming from the moment we walked in. Our server was attentive & knowledgeable about the menu, offering great recommendations. The food was exceptional - fresh ingredients, perfectly seasoned, & beautifully presented. Every dish we tried was bursting with flavor. The portions were generous & well worth the price. The restaurant was clean & well-maintained, & despite being busy, we didn't feel rushed. The dessert was the perfect ending to our meal. We'll definitely be returning soon & would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great meal & excellent service. Five stars!
Service was fantastic. Some of the best I've ever experienced. All servers are very attentive at Monarque.
Food was tasty. I got the trout tartare, octopus, & lamb dish. My favourite was the trout tartare. It's divine - very fresh & full of unique textures & flavours. The other two dishes were good but too salty for my personal preference. Everything served was made of high quality ingredients, beautifully presented, & made with intentionality.
In terms of ambiance, Monarque is well decorated & sophisticated but lacks cozyness. I felt that the temperature of the restaurant could have been slightly warmer & lights dimmer. The lighting especially in the Brasserie is far too bright. I was noticed it as soon as I walked in.
J'avais beaucoup entendu parlé de ce restaurant & les éloges sont amplement méritées. Dès notre arrivée, on nous propose de nous débarrasser de nos manteaux, notre serveur Fausto était très gentil & attentionné, on voit tout de suite que le restaurant souhaite que le service soit impeccable. Il y a eu un peu d'attente entre l'entrée & le plat principal & notre serveur s'en est excusé. La nourriture était absolument délicieux, les portions sont parfaites, j'ai pris deux entrées & je n'avais plus de place pour le dessert. Pour la qualité de la nourriture j'ai trouvé les prix très raisonnables. J'ai très hâte d'y retourner !
We had an amazing night dinning here. There was a great selection of creative dishes but they also have classic ones which tasted fantastic as well. I especially liked the aged steak, it had great texture & great flavours. The balance between fat & meat was great, the mix of chewiness & softness was great as well & the pepper sauce that came with the steak complemented it quite nicely. The duck was pretty delicious too! The crispy skin paired so well with the tender meat & the flavours were nice as well. The service on the other hand varies quite a lot. We had a warm welcome initially from the waitresses & then some waiters were quite clumsy & rough which made it a bit less enjoyable. The contrast was too big not too notice. The atmosphere itself was great. There were so many customers that were enjoying the food, the vibe was just great. I do feel like the tables are a bit small making it feel a bit cramped but it was still quite nice.
