I've been wanting to try Cafe Monte for some time now. I found myself close by around lunch time the other day, so I decided to stop in. I was seated immediately and my server promptly came by to bring a menu and take my drink order.
Honestly, I was a bit under-whelmed by the menu. I was really hoping for some really nice French dishes beyond just crepes and quiche. The menu options were ok but not outstanding. So, I decided to go with the Chicken And Wild Mushroom Crepes in madeira creme ($14).
I really wanted to try the pommes frites to see if they are as good as I have heard, but I wasn't really that hungry and my server told me the dish I ordered was pretty large. So, when she brought my plate out, I was glad I skipped the fries on this visit. The crepes were cooked perfectly and smothered with delicious creamy chicken & mushrooms. I would order this dish again.
When I first walked into the restaurant, I had noticed a counter with all sorts of yummy looking pastries, so I decided to order a coconut macaroon to go. It was tres yummy!
I agree with Nicole's assessment - this may not be the best French cuisine in town, but it is solid. On my visit, the service was good very good and I would go back.
