| - I had huge expectations for monki considering last time I had such a good time. The lemongrass coconut bowl was just not good. No good flavours, nothing in the bowl matches well. The look of the dish wasn't even appetizing. Very unimpressed.
(Used to be 5-star review)I am so in love with this place. After hearing quite a few recommendations for Monki Bistro, we decided to get brunch on our last day in Calgary. Let me tell ya, I wish we came here sooner so we could've spent every morning here.
Service, amazing. So friendly, so approachable and everyone looks like they want to be there. Quickly seated at the bar, which was fine for us because we didn't wanna wait for a table plus the bar is fully stocked with a variety of hot sauces which ended up being fun for my boyfriend and I to try them all after our meal.
The menu has a great variety from burgers, bowls, Benedict's, and even a fondue platter. I ended up with the prosciutto Benedict and added mushrooms to it. Subbed fruit for salad. The hash browns that came with the meat are to DIE for. I could've eaten so many of those and I wish I did. I also got extra hollandaise for dipping, best sauce I've ever had. Even their salad was so yummy.
The boyfriend got the only burger they have on the menu. The fried egg had a perfect ooey-gooey yolk. Not runny enough to be a mess but just runny enough to coat your burger. The pretzel bun was so satisfying and soft. And of course the side hash him as well and he says the burger was so filling and delicious.
We were both really happy with our orders, we left extremely satisfied and pleased and would definitely need to stop here next time we find ourselves in Calgary.
