The Hungry Monkey

Best Known For

Gourmet burgers such as the Southern Fry – Southern fried chicken, butter lettuce, American cheese, jalapeños and Monkey hot sauce.

A trip down the South East coast is worth the scenic drive if only to try out The Hungry Monkey on Collins Street in Kiama, not far from the iconic blowhole and lighthouse. The smell of freshly baked treats entices patrons inside a weatherboard building to share a table for coffee, seated by a comic strip-inspired mural, or on the verandah to soak up warm rays and a balmy, coastal breeze. Early risers can enjoy options like chilli scrambled eggs with fried shallots, smashed avo, fried garlic and coriander on sourdough; or stay around to join the lively lunch crowd and devour gourmet burgers like the Bad Boy with beef, battered onion rings, bacon, American cheese, chipotle aioli and mustard mayo, or Lady Ba Ba with pulled lamb, roasted onion, mint, olive tapenade, rocket and garlic sauce.
