HISTORY 
IN THE MAKING

Our restaurant had its beginnings in 1972 ( the year after Disney opened in Orlando ). The present building, constructed during the 1930's, housed many operations which included a fish market, insurance agency, and coffee house.
 

The"monk's" concept began with the dream of creating a safe haven and a fitting repast for the traveler, as did monasteries of long ago.
Old St. Augustine graciously lends itself to the image of a quaint mission with monks tending to their vineyard.

 
Over the years, many guests have enjoyed our hospitality amid our "monk-abilia" and old world charm.

Our modest kitchen promotes a healthy and well-balanced lunch menu. In the caring spirit of a monastery, we proudly prepare honest and flavorful meals, hand-crafted and homemade for our guests. We do not serve "fast food," we serve wholesome food. All dishes are prepared to order, nothing deep-fried.  We feature hearty soups, salads, and sandwiches, as well as light seafood, beef, vegetarian, poultry entrees, and home-made desserts.
