We've been visiting this jazz club for several years now. Earlier this month, we lucked out and were there for the late Sunday night jam session. We had a blast! The music was fabulous, the crowd enthusiastic, the staff as welcoming as ever. It feels like a real slice of Paris life.

The waitress, the food, the wine, the live jazz, the atmosphere....what can I say....AMAZING! My favorite part beyond the music was the intimacy of the restaurant/jazz bar. The service was quick. I could see the man in the kitchen working diligently to get everyone's orders out hot and  fresh. The waitress had great recommendations for a snack and wine.

There a live concert by a duo who were really great. The concert was free but for the drinks, which were reasonable. The staff were kind and, it seems, really good to the musicians!

We came to Monk for a late dinner and since it was pouring rain outside we decided to take a table deep inside the restaurant. From our table we could see the water running down the cobblestone street and hear the thunders but we were warm and protected from the wind and cold.

We had the hamburger without the cheese and beef tab with French fries. Both portions were big enough to satisfy the strong appetite. The beef was very tender and juicy. It was served with a tiny dish with caramelized onions and a small garden salad.

The service was quick and the atmosphere was very relaxing. The prices are reasonable too.

It was interesting to hear Freddy Mercury, Queens, The Weekend and Ariana Grande as a background music in France.

We also ordered a warm chocolate dessert with a vanilla ice cream, but couldn’t finish it. It was very good, only we overestimated our abilities. 😊

We had our very late dinner and when we left around 11:00 pm and there were still people in the restaurant.

I definitely recommend you to try this place.

We came here for drinks with some friends on Saturday night and we were pleasantly surprised when we saw there was live music. Very cozy and vibrant place. Even though we missed the happy hour, prices for the wine list were very decent for Paris standards. For beer lovers, they have an extensive selection of draught and international beer. The waiter was very attentive and nice to us.
