What to Eat at Monty's How we choose these items We use AI to find praise and criticism of specific foods and drinks in a selection of Google reviews. For Monty's, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. The score is positive reviews minus negative reviews. For example, two positive reviews and one negative review give +1. Each review counts once per item; neutral comments do not change the score. A zero score is not a positive recommendation. “Only neutral feedback” means there are no positive or negative votes. “Mixed feedback” means equal numbers of positive and negative votes. The quotes are examples of what people said, not every comment we counted. We use different reviews where we can. We normally show up to 10 foods and 5 drinks with non-negative scores. Items with the same score stay together. If a tied group would go past the limit, that group and the lower non-negative scores go into Honorable mentions. If an overflowing positive top tie would leave the list empty, we show up to 10 items from that tie and keep the rest in Honorable mentions. Foods and drinks with a negative score are under What to Avoid. Use this as a guide to what reviewers liked, not a guarantee that you will like it too.
Foods and drinks mentioned in reviews of Monty's, ranked by positive reviews minus negative reviews. Zero-score items have no net positive feedback; their labels distinguish neutral-only from mixed feedback.

All day breakfast Net −1
“The Danger: The "All Day Breakfast" came with spicy sausages. I have a severe allergy to spicy food. There was no warning on the menu and zero heads-up from the staff. This isn't just a mistake; it’s life-threatening negligence. You cannot just serve "surprise" spicy food for breakfast when people’s health is at stake!”

Tips for a Better Visit
Choose Outdoors. Visit in winter or during the day if you want the lake-and-golf-course setting; summer outdoor seating may be uncomfortable.
Try Roast. Consider the Sunday Roast set menu: a review recorded 2 courses for 200aed or 3 courses for 250aed.
Allow Time. Build in extra time for the meal, as one quiet visit still took around 30 minutes for food to arrive.
Flag Allergies. Tell staff clearly about allergies before ordering, particularly with breakfast dishes containing spicy sausages.
Check Bills. Review the bill before paying; one diner reported a course being counted seven times and a 500 AED overcharge.

The Bottom Line
Monty’s in Emirates Hills is mainly a setting-led restaurant: outdoor tables look over the lake and golf course, and the winter area has heaters. It suits a relaxed lunch, coffee, family meal or casual get-together more than a rushed bite. The Sunday Roast is the clearest food draw, with one review calling it a true roast dinner with all the trimmings.
There are a few specific orders worth noting. The Sunday Roast set menu was reported at 200aed for two courses or 250aed for three. The Mango Cheesecake earned an unusually strong recommendation, while a rib eye steak was described as tender with generous sides.
Food quality is not entirely consistent, though: reviews also mention average dishes, overcooked wedges, hard burgers and a sea bass that was too oily. Service is similarly mixed. Some guests describe polite, efficient staff and regulars being greeted by name; others waited around 30 minutes for food or struggled to get attention.
One review raised a serious concern about undisclosed spicy sausages in the All Day Breakfast, so allergy information should be made explicit before ordering. For the best atmosphere, choose outdoor seating in cooler weather and allow more time than usual for service.
