Nestled in one of Canberra’s hippest hotels, Monster Bar & Kitchen places a strong emphasis on seasonal and local produce prepared for sharing.
Described as having “multiple personalities”, the restaurant is led by head chef Sean McConnell, the genius behind Mocan & Green Grout Café.
Monster turns the charm from dawn till dusk, guaranteeing something for everyone – early risers can enjoy their brunch and caffeine fix, while late risers can enjoy the bar menu and shared plates on offer.
Located in a vast lobby of Hotel Hotel, the industrial-inspired décor includes concrete and copper, while the soft leather seats are made for settling with a Martini.
