Cafe Monarch

Why we recommend Cafe Monarch in Scottsdale

When guests book a Scottsdale nightclub, beach club, or pool day through MyRSVP and ask where to eat around it, Cafe Monarch is one of the names that comes back most consistently from our team. This page is written as a guide rather than as a reservation listing: the practical details, the signature dishes, the room layout, and the direct route to reserve are all here so you know what to expect before you walk in. Restaurant reservations outside Las Vegas sit with the venues themselves; MyRSVP handles the nightlife and pool-club side of the trip.

What to expect in the room and on the menu

Cafe Monarch sits comfortably on most short lists of where to eat in Scottsdale. The draw is usually a combination of chef provenance, room design, and a signature plate or two that regulars order by name — the dishes that define the restaurant rather than decorate the menu. Sonoran-desert, resort-anchored or Old Town dining destination. The practical things that matter when you book — whether the tasting menu is the right call for your group, whether to sit at the bar or commit to the dining room, how the wine list is structured relative to the food — are the questions to raise with the reservations team rather than figure out on the night. Most rooms at this level will guide you if you ask.

Reservations — how to book Cafe Monarch

We keep Cafe Monarch on our curated Scottsdale dining list for guests asking what to do around a MyRSVP nightclub or pool-club booking. Restaurant reservations are direct with the venue; we don’t hold dining inventory here — that part of the concierge service is Las Vegas-only. Practical advice: book as early as you can, because flagship Scottsdale rooms routinely close a month or more out on peak weekends, and ask about chef’s counter, bar dining, or private-dining allocations if the main reservation book looks tight. Those formats often stay open days after the dining room has gone fully booked.

Hours, dress, and planning windows

What to know before you visit Cafe Monarch. The room operates on these hours: Monday–Thursday 5:00 PM – 10:30 PM; Friday 5:00 PM – 12:00 AM; Saturday 10:00 AM – 1:30 PM and 4:30 PM – 12:00 AM; Sunday 10:00 AM – 1:30 PM and 5:00 PM – 10:30 PM. On the dress side: Collared shirts required; jackets preferred for men. No t-shirts, flip-flops, sandals, athletic wear, shorts, or ball caps. Peak demand in Scottsdale falls around the November–April cool season, with the Waste Management Phoenix Open, Barrett-Jackson, and Cactus League Spring Training as sharpest peaks, sharpest on the Waste Management Phoenix Open, MLB Spring Training (Cactus League) — those are the dates the reservation book closes furthest out. If the main dining room is full on your target date, ask the restaurant about chef’s counter, bar seats or a tasting-menu slot; those formats often stay open days after the primary book has gone.

Reserving Cafe Monarch. Use the restaurant’s own booking channel for the dinner reservation; availability, private dining and chef’s-counter inventory live with the restaurant, not with MyRSVP. Dinner reservations are direct with Cafe Monarch. For the nightclub, pool day or beach club you’re planning around the meal, submit the MyRSVP form on the relevant venue page and a concierge assigned to that venue will be in touch with pricing, placement and the best area for your group.
