MONO

At a glance

A contemporary Latin American restaurant on On Lan Street, Central. Opened in late 2019, it developed a clearer Latin American identity from an initial modern French direction.[1]

Cooking & identity

Latin American food culture and French technique meet seasonal Asian ingredients; house-made Ecuadorian chocolate, counter seating and jazz records shape the experience.[1]

Why this profile is included

MONO’s Unplugged archive documents repeated exchanges with Meta, Potong, Seroja and Claudine. These specific projects explain inclusion beyond its guide ranking.[2] [3] [4] [5] [6]
