Cafe Monico offers a pre-theatre menu with small portions for the price, but quick service and excellent waitress attention. Some customers found the croque monsieur and salmon starter lacking, while others praised the fish and chips and the omelette. The ambiance was praised for being beautiful, romantic, and stylish, although some found the music too loud. The decor, atmosphere, and staff were all highlighted positively, with some customers expressing a desire to return despite minor issues with specific dishes or noise levels. Overall, Cafe Monico seems to offer a mixed experience with good service, atmosphere, and value for money, generally, Cafe Monico receives a rating of 4.3 on average.
