“On my first visit to Monarch since moving back to New Glasgow, my wife and I came on the evening that they debuted their new spring/summer menu. The ABC salad was a tasty good mix - spring mix, roasted apples, bacon aioli, cheddar curds and cornbread croutons. The star of the show was definitely the bacon aioli which had a killer smoky flavour and elevated the dish. Pulled pork sandwiches have been an ubiquitous menu item for more than a decade, but Monarch did well by it with a savoury pork that wasn't mushy and overcooked and a red cabbage slaw that was flecked with coconut for a unique take on a standard pulled pork pairing (PPP). Bonus points to Monarch for the GF option for the bun, not to mention how much of the whole menu can be made GF! A side of crunchy thyme chips were everything you'd want in a chip and a nice textural contrast to the sandwich. My coconut haddock was a wonderfully well-executed dish - flaky fish and a crisp, coconut crust that wasn't *too* coconutty. A dill aioli added a tartar-esque flavour, and the roasted potatoes were an herby complement to the fish. The coconut slaw made another tasty appearance. On a return visit, we were there on one of Monarch's monthly wine nights. At four courses - each with a paired wine - and a $60 price tag, this has got to be the best quality per dollar in town! The meal started with a rhubarb and radish salad. The fresh, local veg and tart vinaigrette paired well with an acidic Ontario Riesling. For the main, a cut of Red Mountain beef tenderloin was *so* tender and although tenderloin isn't always the most flavourful cut, the quality of the locally-sourced meat stood out. Roasted veg and a pop of vegetal brightness from pea shoots rounded out a delicious dish. A Chilean Carmenere had a really unique flavour profile; I'm admittedly not familiar with the varietal, but it stood up well to the beef and was of great interest on its own. A cheese course eased our taste buds back down and an Australian chardonnay had a big enough flavour to hold its ground against the salty umami of the aged cheese. To cap our delicious meal, a loose apple and rhubarb tart, with a healthy (figuratively) dollop of whipped cream was a great send-off with mix of sweet and tart, and the crumble breaking up the soft apple and rhubarb. A lightly sweet sauv blanc with a hint of acidity finished off the wines. Monarch is a star on the local food scene and if you're not darkening their doorway, you're doing your taste buds a grave disservice.“

“The recommended steak and new seasonal salad was absolutely delicious. Steak was cooked perfect, with the the side sauce was excellent. right amount of flavor in that sauce, you could still taste the beef. And that salad, not only was it visually beautiful, it tasted as good as it looked. Service was quick and very friendly. Not sure if the owner was the cook, but she made you feel like family. we will be back.“

“Absolutely to die for tomato cheddar soup, their homemade bread products are out of this world. The sweet ladies that work there are just so darling. Prices are great. Great place to grab lunch and be warm and cozy. Never dissatisfied!!! Two bowls of delicious soups with homemade bread and drinks for about 15$ can't go wrong.“

“A great place. Love the atmosphere and the service is top notch.Only reason for the food 3 star rating, steak. It unfortunately was far over seasoned and not cooked as requested. Very salty( and i love salt) and chared to crunchy on the edge.We had chowder, wings and mussels. Exceptionally good meal overall. We will be back.“
