Nearly thirty years on one corner.
The Monkey Bar & Grill opened its doors at Yonge and Lawrence in the mid-nineties and never went looking for trends. The idea was simple then and it's simple now: cook generously, pour honestly, and treat the room like an extension of your own table.
“Comfort food, cooked with care — and a bar you actually want to sit at.”
The menu draws on Canadian, Italian, French and Asian influences, leaning on local and organic ingredients where it can. Desserts are made in-house. After all these years the same regulars still come back — which is, honestly, the only review that's ever mattered to us.
