Monteaux's Public House

Monteaux's Public House's extensive menus of classic American pub fare fused with global touches pull from seasonal and local ingredients whenever possible. The lunch menu preps palates with light salads such as the grilled-prawn salad ($12.50) or the cabernet-poached pear salad ($9.45) topped with sweet walnuts, goat cheese, and a supernova in the sky's worth of creamy champagne vinaigrette. Main lunch courses include house favorites such as the parmesan-crusted tilapia ($13.50) and the chicken schnitzel ($13), which, like several dishes at Monteaux's, can be made gluten-free upon request. For dinner, appease initial appetites with a hummus plate starter ($7.50) before stomach-surfing toward top sirloin steak with tarragon butter ($17.25), Mongolian beef stir fry with yellow and green onions and Hoisin sauce ($12.45), or a Guinness-marinated burger topped with smoked-gouda cheese ($9.50). Monteaux's menu is also peppered with monthly "country specials" featuring creative takes on world cuisine, as if they came straight from the kitchens of Peter Gabriel and Paul Simon. May's country specials showcase traditional Turkish tastes, including classic baba ghanoush with cucumbers, tomatoes, and grilled pita bread ($8.25) and shish kebabs with marinated lamb and vegetables ($14.25).
