More information on Monk's Cafe

Inspired by the cozy Belgium brasseries, this neighborhood cafe is a great place to grab a reasonable burger and fresh cut fries, or relax over delicacies like steamed mussels, smoked salmon, sea scallops, roasted duck or fillet mignon. Like a European bistro, the atmosphere at Monk's Cafe is casual and friendly with rich wood bars and booths in which to relax. Choose from 200 beers from around the world, or sample one of the 25 Belgian beers on tap-the largest selection of its kind in the country. Nice selection of wine, too.
