FOOD + AMIGOS

Two of life’s most important ingredients. Adventurous and ever changing, Happy Monkey is a fun-loving Latin restaurant from world-renowned Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten. Happy Monkey embraces fresh, locally sourced ingredients and a distinctly Latin approach to dining socially. A place to meet, eat and drink any night of the week. Situated in vibrant Greenwich, Happy Monkey is the Vongerichten's first restaurant in Connecticut. Guests can expect to find the Chef’s legendary approach to cuisine and outstanding service–all set within a convivial, contemporary atmosphere that offers something decidedly new. Whether you’re sharing a few plates at our communal table, or enjoying a warm treat at our buzzing bar, you’ll be dining in a setting that puts friends first. And we can't wait to meet you.
