"I noted that Monkland Taverne, an NDG mainstay, posted on Instagram a precautionary-closure notice referring to possible or confirmed COVID-19 exposure." - Valerie Silva

"Stephen Leslie remains the dean of Monkland Village after 26 years, and his upscale bistro is a true institution worthy of the accolades. A convivial spot where high rollers rub elbows with casual locals, expect to break bread over cocktails or a bottle of wine before moving on to oysters, AAA Black Angus burgers and steaks, and pasta." - Erik Leijon


"In NDG, I noted Monkland Tavern suggested on social media that customers buy gift cards now to support restaurants." - Tim Forster

"By contrast, the Monkland Tavern is presented as a great but definitely less formal example of the neighborhood’s casual dining options." - Tim Forster

"I saw that NDG’s Monkland Tavern publicly tweeted it would ditch all Norman Hardie products following the Globe investigation." - Tim Forster
