If meal planning feels like a chore, Monakko has stepped in with a weekly specials line-up that does the thinking for you.
From pasta-loaded Tuesdays to flame-grilled lunches and cocktail-backed sushi sessions, this Umhlanga Ridge favourite has created a calendar worth eating through.
Tuesdays: Pasta, Pasta, Pasta 🍝
Tuesdays at Monakko are all about comfort and carbs. Pasta Tuesday brings a tempting selection of classics at wallet-friendly prices, making it one of the most popular midweek draws.
Expect options like:
-
Smoked Chicken Pasta (R119) with garlic and parmesan
-
Carbonara (R119) with pancetta, egg yolk, cream and parmesan
-
Bolognese (R119) with slow-cooked beef ragù
-
Prawn & Chicken (R130) for those who can’t choose
-
Seafood Pasta (R160) packed with prawns, calamari and mussels in a tomato cream sauce
It’s the kind of menu that turns “quick dinner” into “just one more bite”.
Wednesday to Friday Lunch: Josper Grill Favourites 🔥
