Description

A pair of high-heeled legs dangles above the door of this eclectic breakfast-and-lunch cafe near Confluence Park, named for the Mona Lisa mural of a long-gone gallery that once occupied the space. Inside, well-worn floors hold well-worn tables and booths, inhabited by a mix of neighbors, families and hipsters, who all come in for lazy weekend (and weekday) meals. The menu features hearty, standard cafe fare: eggs, bacon and corned beef hash for breakfast, and sandwiches, soups and salads for lunch. Don't expect to pair these meals with alcohol, though: This outpost of Mona's, the original in a chain that now stretches to three spots, doesn't have a liquor license. Still, bottomless cups of coffee might provide some consolation.

    Mona's closes its Sherman Street spot, leaving only the original

    Tomorrow morning a line will start forming early outside of Mona's Restaurant, the incredibly popular breakfast/lunch joint in the Platte Valley. But owners Linda and Garen Austin have never been able... More »

    While I messed up at Mona's, at least I didn't blow my cover until I went to pay for my last meal there. Which means that for at least for two full meals and nine-tenths of a third, I was still working under my normal, modest cloak of anonymity,... More »

    I'd been having such a good day. A full night's sleep and then some — rare for me, insomniac that I am. Waking late, bumming around the house in sweatpants, in a rush to get precisely nowhere. First cigarette of the day and a mug of green tea on... More »

    Everyone, even the most hard-core, everything-from-scratch purist, will admit that the best corned beef hash in the world is the stuff that comes straight out of the can — mushy, smelling like cat food and with that slick white cap of fat on top that would keep the hash fresh even if the can remained unopened for 10,000 years. But the second-best hash (at least in this city) is at Mona's, where an order brings sliced corned beef brisket, cut the size of bathroom tiles and given a fast sear in the pan, along with deep-fried potatoes, crisp on the surface and soft within like perfect pommes frites, and big chunks of green bell pepper and sautéed onions. True, it's dangerous to screw with the vital corned beef/potato/fat ratio. And for a moment, this plate will horrify anyone who grew up with the canned stuff and, even today, loves it all out of proportion. But be brave. For scratch hash, Mona's beats every other breakfast bar in the city.
