Cafe Monti

Washingtonian Magazine “Best Bargain” Restaurant
1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005

Café Monti is an Alexandria “secret”…..terrific food in a simple restaurant on Duke Street. Featured are dishes from Austria and Italy created by an excellent chef. Café Monti opened eight years ago, and has been voted a Best Bargain by Washingtonian Magazine for the last five years in a row. This is truly fine Italian and Austrian cuisine at carry-out prices.

Just inside the door is the daily specials board. There you might find listed a fabulous salmon with beurre blanc and shallots, melt-in-your mouth flounder with almonds and lemon butter sauce, beef roulade, and other treats. Wiener schnitzel that is thin and crusty is served with fried, herbed potatoes. Beef goulash with dumplings in a rich sauce includes a garlic, onion, paprika and beef broth.

for Parties, Corporate Lunches/Events and Special Occasions.

 

There is a large selection of beer and wine, including unusual European brands. Desserts include fresh raspberry and blueberry tarts, tiramisu, Italian cheesecake, and apple strudel… made that day by Angie.

The building housing Café Monti originally housed Mariano's Pizza, and pizza is still on the menu at Café Monti.

Austrian Vick Kreidel took over the building and opened Café Monti in 1996. “Angie” Akhter worked for Vick when it opened, and she and her family purchased the restaurant from him in 1999.

Today Angie’s family all are part of the staff… daughter Ayvi and sons Asif and Niaz.

Parking

In addition to a little parking in front, there is a large parking lot directly in back of the restaurant. From Duke Street, drive down South Quaker Lane and the parking lot is immediately on your left. From the parking lot you can walk right thru a gate to the side of the restaurant.
