Le Monkey Place

Chic tropical design inside, a plant-filled patio outside, and a culinary adventure guaranteed at our central La Roche-sur-Yon bar and restaurant. Discover our global cuisine and creative cocktail list over a family meal, a lavish Sunday lunch or a concert with friends. Welcome to the jungle! 

Velvet, wickerwork, tropical palms, animal sculptures, leafy motifs... the elegant, luxuriant world of Monkey Place evokes Place Napoléon and its mechanical animals nearby. The bar and the piano, the tables and banquettes of all different sizes set the tone: this is somewhere you come to relax, have fun, indulge in afternoon tea, to discover signature cocktails or share a meal, often accompanied by music. And on our terrace, the bustle of the town centre gives way to peace and greenery. From Lebanese mezze to truffle pasta, our menu is cosmopolitan and sophisticated. Monkey Place has a healthy and sustainable approach to food, favouring farm-to-plate suppliers: if our recipes push boundaries, it's always local produce that we highlight. With a wide choice of sweet or savoury delights, such as salmon toast, seafood, premium charcuterie, hot dishes and desserts, our Sunday brunch is as generous as it is delicious. The same close attention to detail is seen in our connoisseur's selection of beers and cocktails. Our speciality? The Ouakari, with rum, triple sec, bananas, lime, passionfruit and grenadine. What better way to kick off an evening of concerts or DJ sets?
