EXCELLENT Based on 17 reviews Posted on Fred CJanuary 9, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent in every regard. Lovely atmosphere, great service, surprisingly good selection of DRAFT German beers, friendly and personable owners, but most of all absolutely delicious and plentiful European favorites crafted with a twist. The best ever German food per two native Germans and two of us that had been to Germany twice. Try everything - all fantastic!Posted on Keith GJanuary 7, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wow, we found a great German restaurant close to our home here in Dunedin. The food as well as the portion size was fantastic. We will definitely be back to try different dishes, but the schnitzel was unbelievable. Chloe was a doll as our waitress. P.S. loved the German beer!Posted on Kathy MJanuary 6, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you want a different European experience, treat yourself to a Hungarian/German cuisine. Authentic food and nice atmosphere. The best I’ve had. It’s worth checking this quaint restaurant out. Look at my family’s meals. Delicious!! 😋Posted on Gabor KJanuary 5, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic authentic food and great beer selection !Posted on Brandon TJanuary 2, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an amazing dinner at this newer restaurant. The chef is from Budapest so they have authentic Hungarian dishes and classic German dishes with some French and other European influences. The stuffed cabbage was spectacular. My mother in-law had the chicken paprikas, which was also amazing. The draft beer list of German beers, served in proper steins, pairs perfectly with the food. The atmosphere is very authentic and intimate, a nice surprise in Largo!Posted on Gene ADecember 28, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We enjoyed Monika's Christmas Day offering: creative, beautifully presented food! Bread from Germany, too with garlic & herb butter option, as well! Fine service; cozy dining room.Posted on Emily SDecember 28, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great experience at Monika’s. Our children, from Hungary, got to have food they loved. Gulyas and Paprikas. Monika was so nice to even come out and speak to them in Hungarian. The food was delicious. Definitely a European style restaurant from the drinks to the food to the service. It was very comforting and well decorated for Christmas when we went.Posted on Sienna BDecember 28, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing dinner. Chloe was so friendly. Food was absolutely phenomenal. I had the chicken paprika and my husband had the tour of Germany and everything was so delicious. We had the plum streusel for dessert and even the decaf coffee was to die for. We are coming back in a few days and bringing friends. I HIGHLY recommend for great ambiance, great service, and the most exquisite food!!!Posted on Karen SDecember 25, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. First time trying Monika's. Absolutely amazing dinner. Hunter Sauce (Mushroom Gravy) was the best I have ever had, including in Germany. Can't wait to try something else next time. Quality food for a great price! Thanks Monika!! See you soon!Posted on Scott BDecember 21, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They're cuisine is spot on and they can pour a proper beer. Welcome to the neighborhood!
