Étant cliente régulière, j'aime beaucoup manger chez Monk, mais aujourd'hui j'ai reçu un plat mal cuisiné & la serveuse m'a tout simplement répondu "espérons que ça soit mieux la prochaine fois". J'aurais vraiment aimé qu'elle me propose une alternative, car j'ai mangé très peu considérant que l'assiette ranchero n'est pas une grande assiette (la tortilla était crue)

The place is nice, the service is cordial. But after 40 minutes of waiting for our food, we got up ad asked. The cook had not even started! The coffee was great though & love the plant smorgasbord

Resto sympa qui offre à la fois des dejs, des brunchs & un menu du soir. L'ambiance manque un peu de chaleur, mais la nourriture & le service sont impeccables. Vous pouvez aussi aller y télé-travailler si le coeur vous en dit.

Toujours bon! Service agréable. Les grandes fenêtres apportent une belle luminosité mais aussi un peu de fraîcheur en hiver!

Un gros shout out de parents affamés! On avait une faim de burger en vendredi soir trop epuisee apres la routine de la semaine..... Ayant un jeune enfant a la maison on ne pouvait pas se permettre d'aller manger en salle. Malgré que l'équipe monk café attendait 2 groupes de 30 pour la soirée y'ont quand même pu accomoder notre commande pour emporter! Burger classique wow.. burger poulet sublime puis les frites tjrs winner! Merci BCP BCP!!!
