Cool Monkey

About Cool Monkey

Known locally for its reliably good Thai food at unbeatable prices, London’s Cool Monkey is a restaurant to which Notting Hill and Holland Park locals return over and over again. The unassuming brown painted exterior of Cool Monkey leads visitors off of the busy Clarendon Road and in to a cosy little space painted in vibrant orange, with tiled floors and comfortable furnishings all set off by a sprinkling of Thai art and antiques. The friendly atmosphere of Cool Monkey is typical of Thai restaurants – the ability to provide a cheerful, relaxed setting something of a national trait – and here the informal but extremely efficient service is well suited to the casual style of the restaurant. Everything on the Cool Monkey menu is authentically Thai, from noodle dishes to excellent curries and the famed South East Asian sticky rice and there’s also a good helping of specialties with tongue in cheek monkey-themed names.
