The menu will also include small plates designed to pair with the pizza, a selection of sauces and dips for the crusts, and a small selection of addizionale. Desserts will be changed daily depending on seasonality and chef preference. The menu will change seasonally and offer vegan and vegetarian options.

The drinks menu will offer a unique selection of natural wines and beers alongside a water menu that highlights a choice of carbonation level and mineral content.

The interior of Bar Monette will be designed by MacDonald himself and is intended to look like a mid-century library.  

Bar Monette will be open for walk-ins only from midday to midnight, closed Sundays, and will be cashless. Reservations will be available for events.
