NEW Restaurant Review: Pickled Monk in Downtown Fullerton

Pickled Monk in downtown Fullerton is doing brunch! 

If you haven't ventured yet to the 6 month old craft beer & wine eatery, it may be time!

Known for their unique pour your own craft beer and wine concept where you literally select and pour your own drink, Pickled Monk has yet another reason for you to check them out!

Ahi Stack on regular menu (delish!)

Everyone who has visited knows Pickled Monk has a stellar food menu to go along with their beer, wine and cocktail offerings. Being that Downtown Fullerton is more of a nightlife destination, it's easy for brunch to fall a bit under the radar and be limited to mostly those who are in the know. Well...consider yourself 'in the know'. ;) 

The Brunch Menu has a little something to please every craving and is full of surprises. To be honest, nothing on the brunch menu is quite what it appears to be upon first glance! 

Breakfast "Banh Mi" Sandwich

For example, the brunch menu lists a simple sounding "Breakfast Sandwich" but that understatement of a name hides the fact that it's actually a Banh Mi style breakfast sammie! It comes served up on a classic banh-mi baguette, stuffed with pork belly, fried eggs, cilantro, jalapeno and the most SINFUL in-house picked veggies. You'd never know this tastebud treasure awaits you from the standard name on the menu. 

Loaded Toast

One of the most popular Brunch items we spotted in the dining room was the Loaded Toast - made with marinated tomato, radish, avocado, a poached egg and goat cheese. What's not to LOVE about that? ;) 

Vegetarians and light eaters will also be happy to see there's more than a few options for you as well. The Morning Omelet comes with mushroom 'chorizo'  instead of pork, mixed in with quinoa, veggies and eggs. 

Similar to their regular menu, almost every item on the brunch menu has a in-house touch - even the french toast is made with house baked Irish soda bread. Another item you don't want to miss no matter what time you visit is their iconic churro donuts - they come served up warm with delicious dipping sauces! 

You really can't go wrong with any of the food choices at the Pickled Monk! Be sure to check 'em out soon!
