Cheeky Monkey Garden Restaurant
Description
Pad Thai, chicken panang and a properly hefty cheeseburger give Cheeky Monkey more range than its garden-bar roots suggest. Tor cooks Thai staples with punch, then throws in a veggie burger, pad see ew and the Robyn Salad – grilled chicken, avocado and balsamic – for anyone who has eaten one curry too many.
The garden setting sits just off the main road near Long Beach, with cats wandering about, a pool table and darts available, and music that leans towards a relaxed evening. Friday nights can turn lively with a local band playing familiar tunes. Musical precision is not the point; singing along is.
Alcohol is off the menu, but bringing a bottle or beers from the nearby mart is part of the arrangement. Soft drinks and spicy margaritas keep the non-BYOB side covered, while the food stays inexpensive enough for repeat visits.
Cheeky Monkey lands best after a KoHub workday or for a low-key dinner where burgers and Thai curries share the same table without starting a diplomatic incident. Grab a garden seat and let the evening take its time.
