| - Wow. Now, this was a treat.
Arriving at Les Street Monkeys on a quiet-ish Sunday evening in Verdun, I was pleased to find a tastefully-designed and sizeable space and a decent amount of people dining, but not so many that we needed a reservation. Throughout the course of the evening, we sampled the majority of the menu and were thoroughly impressed with presentation, taste, and in general, the uniqueness of the plates.
The only dishes that were lost on me were the papaya salad (I'll be honest and say I'm thoroughly spoiled by living so close to Satay Bros and their famous papaya salad) and the fried chicken. While the fried chicken was still pretty delicious, the seasoning was a little too much of a punch to the face for my sensitive white girl sensibilities. Other folks at the table were pretty jazzed with it, however.
Above all, I have to say the service was absolutely top-notch. Our server was attentive, gregarious and seemingly an all-around good guy. He made for the kind of dining experience where I felt bad he wasn't sitting down for dinner with us.
