Serving up the best food Placer County has to offer. Pulling inspiration from all over the globe. We also offer a full bar with hand crafted cocktails, local wines, and local draft beers. Monkey Cat Legend:

Over the years, tales of the exotic and elusive The Monkey Cat have circulated around the world. Details about this amazing creature have varied, but what they all have in common are descriptions of The Monkey Cat's piercing green eyes. The legend also tells about a great wildlife explorer, who spent a lifetime trying to locate and capture this elusive and prized animal. His search took him from Bombay to Africa and Indonesia to South America. Despite a few near captures, The Monkey Cat always was able to slip away ~ until it was finally found right here in Auburn, CA.

Some dishes are worth slowing down for… and this is definitely one of them! 🤤❤️

🍽️ SALMON MUSHROOM RISOTTO 🍽️

Creamy Parmesan risotto, tender salmon, savory mushrooms, grilled asparagus, blistered cherry tomatoes, and rich Toma truffle cheese. Every bite is packed with flavor! 🥂✨

Whether you’re joining us for a leisurely lunch, an afternoon date, or dinner with your favorite people, this is comfort food done right.

❤️ AVAILABLE ALL DAY at Monkey Cat!

And judging by those two plates, we’d say sharing is completely optional. 😉😂

Who’s a risotto lover? 🙋‍♀️👇

At Monkey Cat, we’ve got you covered either way! ❤️

🧀 SPINACH ARTICHOKE DIP
Savory spinach and artichokes baked into a warm, creamy, cheesy dip, served with sliced warm ciabatta bread. Perfect for sharing… although we won’t judge if you don’t! 😉

🥗 BEET SALAD
Beautiful baby red and golden beets, creamy goat cheese, crisp sliced apples, fennel, fresh arugula, honey, crunchy pistachios and a bright orange vinaigrette. A delicious combination of sweet, savory and fresh!
