Hands down, the Monk serves the best fish and chips that I've sampled in the neighborhood. The ale batter is light and fluffy and fried to a perfect golden crunch. The fish is Atlantic cod. It's moist and flaky on the inside and served with steak cut fries along with a side of house-made tartar sauce and malt vinegar. While the thick cut fries are great, the Monk's skinny fries are stellar and can be substitued with a homemade spicy mayo, tarragon mayo, or bourbon mayo for dipping. Trust me ketchup purists...mayo is the only way to go with these frites. All of them are awesome. If you want to sample all three, the skinny fries are available on the appetizer menu as well for $2.50. The fish and chips will set you back $11 bucks. Of course, a visit to a pub with so many European beers on tap would not be complete without a proper pint of Guinness. So go forth East Dallasites. Make your way to Henderson and eat, drink, and be merry. www.oldmonkdallas.com
