Oh my God, I had the most amazing meal here! First of all, I was so excited by the fact that it was tapas, which I did not know prior to going. There was three of us and we must've gotten at least half of the menu to share, but so worth it. Some of my favorites: the ravioli, barbecue chicken pizza, and the dessert chocolate spring rolls!! But seriously, everything we had was so good and we were So satisfied at the end. We also had some really delicious cocktails.
We had a couple different service throughout the night, and they were all super friendly and great. We were there pretty late in the evening, and the vibe of the place was great too. There's a DJ playing some cool music and the place is crowded with people, but in a good way -

We had such a nice meal at Monmouth today. Sitting outside in the street enjoying wonderful Sharing plates and a bottle of wine. We tried the tacos and the peppers (omg), margarita pizza so delicious. Service by the staff and especially our good friend Peter, was outstanding. Highly recommend if you're in Covent Garden area.

Italian-Peruvian is certainly an unexpected combination - but either direction you choose the food is delicious at Monmouth Kitchen. My friends and I ordered small plates and shared and enjoyed each one.
The design of the restaurant is fresh and relaxed. Despite being a larger restaurant at full capacity, it was not at all loud.
I'll only take points off for the service: We asked for three specific items on the menu and then asked the server to choose the rest from his favorites. He seemed unnerved by the request to make his own selections on our behalf. I assume his shift changed halfway through the meal, as a new server was sent to present the bill. When we noted that we had not received the three items we requested, the new server said they weren't on the order. He didn't offer to bring them to us or correct the mistake. He just said all the food that was on the order had been delivered. So we just paid and left. -

Delicious tapas! Found this place while roaming the streets of Picadilly. How we ended up here, I don't know but glad we did. I would've give 5 stars, but the ribeye was quite a disappointment. Was overcooked and was the last item we ordered. Other than that, this place is amazing and the service is excellent! Our server, Gabor, was very pleasant and took excellent care of us. Thank you Gabor!

Our experience at Monmouth was AMAZING and I am pleased this gem was near our apartment during our stay in Covent Garden. The creativity and quality of this restaurant blew us away. The menu is a mix of Italian options and Peruvian options- which sounded weird but ended up working out! They suggest trying a variety of items, and having 3 or so per person, so for our group of three we ordered 9 items! We enjoyed everything so much we ended up ordering two desserts to complete the meal. All are reviewed below!
Burratta- fresh and creamy, this was delicious. I was surprised at how large the burratta portion was, but it was delicious. Just to beware, this doesn't come with anything it is just the cheese- but it stands on its own, its that delicious.
Avocado & Corn Salad- fresh and full of flavor. The corn is the perfect texture, which is due to how fresh it is! The avocado is smooth and the blackberry dressing that this is tossed in, is perfect. I was afraid it was going to be too sweet but the flavor was excellent. Honestly- this is probably one of my favorite fruit dressings I've had because of the flavor and it wasn't too sugary.
Trio of Bruschetta- The three pieces of bruschetta were tasty- the bread wasn't as crispy as I would have wanted, they need to toast it a bit longer. Toppings were great, one is classic with tomato, one has eggplant, one is spinach and cheese- we each tried them and thought they were tasty- but not our favorite!
White Ragu Arrancini- four portions are served with this arrancini. Fried and filled with rich goodness, these are tasty! They are pretty creamy, so four is enough to each have one serving!
Salmon & Jalapeno Taco- These tacos are TINY but jammed packed with flavor. The tacos are served in servings of two and can be a bite, or two! The salmon is mixed in with avocado and jalapeño and the flavor is perfect. Spicy for sure, but in the best way- the flavor of each element was present and really so good. Not going to fill you up, but definitely worth a try!
Salmon Ceviche- deamed the FAVORITE dish of our meal. The salmon ceviche was impressive. The salmon was perfect and so fresh, its hard to explain the creamy texture of the salmon and the salsa on top, but together- perfection. This was one of the favorite items of the meal, and of our entire trip through England.
Chicken Risotto- creamy and tasty! This is a great dish, it is rich and filling so a great addition to a larger grouping. It is so creamy and smooth and cooked perfectly. Small chunks of chicken are spread throughout and the texture of the dish is smooth. Good choice!
Pasta with Tomato & Chili- this was probably our least favorite dish of the order, the fresh sauce was a bit bland, maybe a hint of salt or pepper. You could tell it was so fresh so a slight tweak would have made this another success. It wasn't bad- just didn't live up to the other spectacular options.
Beef Tenderloin- thinly sliced, perfectly cooked and topped with a SPICY sauce. This is spicy- so it isn't for everyone but if you like perfectly cooked beef- order this dish.
Pear Sensacion- named our favorite dessert of the trip- this was simple yet so tasty. The serving is tiny- but having ordered two desserts, we had two bites of each. The pear dessert had a fresh ice cream on top of a part tart and pistachio crumble- which is the best way I can describe the treat, but honestly GET THIS!
Chocolate Spring Rolls with Passion Fruit Ice Cream- the light flaky spring rolls are filled with melted gooey chocolate- beware if you are wearing white or use caution- it tends to get everywhere when you take that first bite. The ice cream was tart and delicious!
The vibe is trendy, the service was the BEST we have had during our entire stay in England and I would recommend trying this fantastic and unique restaurant when in London. A note- it can get pricey, but it is worth the splurge!
