Monroe: The American Diner

Monroe located in KLoé Hotel is one of KL’s best-kept secrets. It’s the perfect place for a weekend bubbly brunch with the girls.

Sharing platters at Monroe.

With dishes designed for Sharing, The menu at Monroe is unique in that it draws food inspiration from America’s immigrant culture. On the menu are a melting pot of dishes including Italian, Jewish, Mexican and Asian dishes.

Roasted Sambal Seabass

Monroe makes it a point to support local producers and flavours, with plates such as the Roasted Sambal Seabass served with ulam raja and calamansi. Offering a refined play on nostalgic local taste memories with a modern twist. Sous chef Raja Imran says, “This dish was created in keeping with Monroe’s ethos to serve comfort food based around family and community – its flavours resonate with each one of us on the kitchen team, reminiscent of dishes our mothers and grandmothers fed us growing up.”

After-work drinks

: Hot Fried Chicken

: Potato Gnocchi

Located in KL’s CBD, Monroe is a great place to take a break and combat KL’s heavy rush hour traffic. In the evenings enjoy cocktails with Prawn toast from their snack menu. Stay for dinner, and enjoy their Grilled Rump of Beef with marmite butter. Savour Hot Fried Chicken with cool ranch sauce, and house-made, silky pillows of Potato Gnocchi served with seaweed butter and sesame.

Strawberry Shortcake

The desserts at Monroe are truly divine, among our favourites are the Sticky Toffee date pudding from their Festive menu and the PB & J Mille Crepe cake layered with blueberry jam, and peanut honeycomb topped with ice cream.

Natural Wines by Australia’s Delinquente Wine Co

All of this goes down particularly well with Monroe’s specially curated selection of natural wines. From white and bubbly, to orange wines and red wines. These quirky blends are made sustainably with minimal additives, resulting in heady flavours and aromas completely unlike most ‘classic’ wines.
