Get to Monsu for the best weekday lunch anywhere!

We went to Monsu for lunch today (Friday). More people have to get there for lunch or they may stop serving it on weekdays. It was peaceful and wonderful. The food was out of this world. Had the octopus, the lasagna, and the tartine. The rice ball dessert may have been the best dessert we've ever eaten! The service was great. The owner was there and was fun to talk to. We made 2 dinner reservations for later this month.

    This is connected to Modo Mio, right?

      That's right. Also Paesano's Hoagies, which are so fabulous. Paesano's used to be in this location; now they're down the block.

      Is pricing the same for lunch as for dinner ?

        There are some different items on the lunch menu, but I'm not sure if the dinner items are cheaper at lunch. All I know is it would be easy for 2 people to spend as little as $25 total, and get an appetizer and entree to share, a dessert to share, and an espresso. Not bad at all.
