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.

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.

Savour Hot Fried Chicken with cool ranch sauce, and house-made, silky pillows of Potato Gnocchi served with seaweed butter and sesame.
