We looked at the menu beforehand and both agreed that we wanted stew. They have a belgian beef and beer stew made with local grass fed beef, slow cooked in Chimay Grand Reserve with local root vegetables. How can you not love the sound of that? We told them we were going to share it, so they brought it out in separate bowls and gave us strange but tasty rolls each. I can’t really describe the roll, it seemed to have raisins in it, but it wasn’t sweet enough to be raisin. Does anyone know? In any case, the stew was delicious! I wish we’d had a giant vat of it, it was so good.
We also got an order of the pommes frites. You have to! The waiter forgot about them, so we didn’t end up getting them until after the stew, but that was ok. We didn’t mind, we just ate them along with the additional beers. I love these fries, but I just wish they were longer pieces of fry, instead of little tiny stubs. Otherwise, I still love these. It comes with their famous bourbon mayo. Monk’s is definitely a beer place, so get ready to drink. Since I was still sick, I didn’t really drink much, but the little sips I had were certainly tasty.
