Brunch at The Old Monk is a full-flavored, hearty affair that draws locals and visitors alike with a menu of clearly defined, craveable dishes. This isn’t a collection of generic breakfast plates—it’s a menu built on specific, well-executed items that showcase the restaurant’s dedication to texture, seasoning, and balance. Each dish arrives warm, flavorful, and generous enough to make the meal memorable.
A cornerstone of the menu is the Traditional Breakfast Plate, featuring two eggs cooked to order, crispy breakfast potatoes with golden edges and tender centers, and your choice of smoked bacon or breakfast sausage. The potatoes are seasoned boldly, offering both crunch and depth, while the eggs and protein provide classic, satisfying flavor. Buttermilk biscuits with sausage gravy are another signature—light, flaky biscuits drenched in a rich, peppery gravy that’s the perfect balance of creaminess and seasoning.
For a sweeter option, the Thick-Cut French Toast is custardy inside with a lightly crisp exterior, served with a drizzle of syrup and a dusting of powdered sugar. Belgian-style waffles are also available, golden and crisp, offering a perfect base for butter, syrup, or fresh fruit compotes.
Savory specialty plates include the Monk Benedict, featuring poached eggs atop English muffins with smoked ham, hollandaise, and a hint of paprika, and the Avocado Toast with Poached Eggs, combining creamy avocado, bright citrus, and perfectly runny eggs on crusty bread.
The drink menu complements the food without overshadowing it. Brunch cocktails include a classic Bloody Mary with house-spiced tomato juice, celery, and pickled vegetables, as well as Mimosa and Bellini variations that pair beautifully with both sweet and savory plates. A selection of Belgian ales and lighter beers provides balance to richer dishes, while coffee and teas round out the traditional morning experience.
