On a réservé 2 h avant, & le servive de JF & sa collègue étaient impeccables & souriants même ça débordait de monde. Ce fut notre 1ere fois & avons beaucoup aimé ce que nous avons pris : salade, burger/frites maison aux champignons & shooter. Bravo à toute l'équipe qui valorise le quartier.

Excellent burger balanced & seasoned thoughtfully with a brioche bun with very good fries & a fantastic cappuccino - balanced with the right amount & texture of foam. Would return without hesitation to try their brunch items!!

We loved this Cafe so much we came back for breakfast again & again during our nine day stay in Montreal. Excellent staff, great music (not too loud) delicious food & really good coffee. Welcoming, airy & chilled atmosphere, just sorry that we never had time later in the day to enjoy their 25 dollar beer & burger offer. Hopefully we will try it on our next visit to Montreal.

We ordered takeout from Monk Cafe on Monday afternoon. They have a different menu for the weekdays than for weekends. See attached image of weekday menu. We got the Avocado Toast, Beef Burger & a Salmon tartare to share. The food was really delicious - so good that we finished it & then realized we forgot to take photos! We would definitely return for a meal in the future next time we are in this area.

Love this little gem on Monk! The go to place when we just can't pick what we want/need as it has a bit of everything.

Super cute atmosphere as well. Recommend the burrata as well as the chicken burger. You can ask for olives as well!
