It’s Monday. You want to meet friends for a meal (or just don’t want to cook), but so many restaurants are closed that figuring out where to go only leads to frustration, compromise, or a sad frozen pizza… No more! Put an end to all of that nonsense by using this tasty guide to local, independent restaurants that are actually open on Mondays…

NOTE: We probably don’t need to say this, but for the few readers out there who might forget: Things happen, pipes burst, staff get sick, people go on trips. This list is not a 100% guarantee doors will be open. Always double-check with a restaurant before making a plan.
