Cool and trendy small restaurant (Inglewood location) with very friendly service. Ordered the S’mores pancakes and french toast. The food came out super quick but maybe we lucked out since it was before the rush. The french toast was chocolate heaven, with hazelnut spread on top and filled with bananas and cream cheese icing inside. The S’mores pancakes were the perfect level of sweetness and the graham cracker crumble and marshmallows on top were great! Two things that didnt make this a 5 star rating: the hot chocolate was really disappointing. It is made of water, not milk. Therefore it tasted so bland and flat, not rich and indulgent like it should be. Also their coffee is beyond disappointing, please switch up your coffee! The second is there was no option besides pork, such as chicken sausages or turkey bacon. A huge disappointment considering the menu offers other good items. Would come again to try their brisket items!
Excellent breakfast! This is a great place to go with a few friends for some lovely brunch! Portions are good. Unique presentation of food. Excellent taste. Parking can be challenging downtown if you are not going on a weekend though.
While visiting Calgary I was recommended this place by a couple friends and family. And it did not disappoint.
First off, the ambiance is great, clean, trendy, and cozy vibes.
Second, the coffee is bottomless and delicious! Dark, dreamy roast, with just the right amount of depth and natural sweetness!
Third, and most important, the food! I ordered eggs benny with smoked salmon, it came with a side of fruit and some hash browns. The hash browns were a mix of sweet and white potatoes, and they were a delicious side to an amazing eggs benny!

First time here and the food is delicious! I had the perogies (it's so good but also super unhealthy with the bacon and that delicious sauce base!) My friend had the hashbrowns with eggs and sausage (I tried some and it's really delicious too). We were there Sunday morning around 10:30 and the place was packed (both inside and at the patio). We saw the fondue menu and really curious, so we ordered the sampler platter fondue (with 3 different types of chocolate) even we were not hungry anymore after our main dishes. The matcha and earl grey chocolate were really good but we did not care much for the yellow turmeric (just personal taste). Overall it was really delicious food, but it's not 5 stars because of the high price tag. For the 3 plates we ordered plus a tea and a coffee, the bill came to about $70 before tips for a brunch with 2 people. It's true we ate a lot (lol) but it's definitely not cheap eats here. We will go back though (perhaps just not all the time lol) because the food is delicious.
We loved this place and their brunch selection!
We got the fondue sampler platter with Tumeric, earl grey, and matcha fondue and waffles &fruit to dip
For a while now I've been wanting to try Monki Breakfast and today I was glad I made the right decision to try this place out. The wait time on average is about an hour so I'd recommend making reservations on the NoWait app in advance. After being seated inside I ordered their Monki Coffee and The Morning Breakfast. Their coffee was good and I believe they sell their own coffee beans. The Morning Breakfast came with 2 eggs (tasted good scrambled with a hint of thyme), 3 valbella sausages (nice spice and seasoning) , potatoes (salty and sweet with a hint of cinnamon) and multigrain toast. Overall good flavors for a standard breakfast. Prices here are an average of $15 per dish. I'd recommend giving this place a try.
Excellent food and services. Highly recommended but be prepare to wait for 30mins. I think its worth the wait. Love the tiny restaurant and easy to found street parking.
Went to Monki for breakfast this morning. I ordered the beef brisket and sausage hash. Nice presentation in a individual sized cast iron skilled on a wooden cutting board. The dish itself had a bottom layer of tender beef brisket, sausage, the signature Monki hashbrowns (mix of potatoes and sweet potatoes), two soft poached eggs and topped with their Prosecco hollandaise. Meal overall was very tasty but portions were quite small and more expensive compared to other local brunch places. Atmosphere was cozy being a smaller restaurant and service was friendly and relatively quick. Overall an alright experience for my first time at Monki

The bistro is small on the inside and it is best to take one or two friends to go to this bistro, as space is limited inside. I sat on the bar side of the bistro and had a pleasant experience. The waiter that served me was friendly and nice throughout the whole experience. I ordered one of the bowls, with quinoa, yam, arugula and etcetera in the bowl. The bowl I ordered was delicious and filling. The yams in the bowl I ordered were seasoned well and made the dish all that more delicious. The bowls are vegan and gluten-free, and meat, cheese or an egg could be put into these bowls, if one wanted to, just in case you wanted some meat or vegan less free bowl. The red rooibos tea I ordered was rich in flavour and had to be one of the best teas I have ever tasted so far. When I paid the bill, the waiter gave a fortune cookie and I thought that was a nice way to end the meal. When I was sitting at the bar, the condiments were on my side and that was nice, to have the condiments out in the open like that, for people to use in their food. The food is more on the the sort of expensive side, as my bowl was around $16.00-17.00. The price is worth it though, as the food was prepared nicely and the taste was simply very delicious.
The dishes were very good, excellent pairing choices (example: flank steak served on a bed of sautéed broccolini, whipped goat cheese and roasted cherry tomatoes served with crusty bread, avocado toast topped with a lightly fried egg, pickled beets served with hummus and topped with pistachios). They also serve "bullet coffee" for those who are following a keto diet and many of the meat dishes are keto friendly as they come with a side of veggies.
The service was excellent; attentive and friendly while seamlessly keeping our drinks filled and dishes cleared. The only reason for the 4 stars is because the protein portions were quite small for the price of the dishes. I will be back again, while keeping in mind this is family style dining, will probably come back as a table of two to keep things simple and avoid ordering too many dishes to accommodate multiple people's preferences.
