    • Monkey Place, a must-visit cocktail bar for any occasion in Vendée

      Monkey Place welcomes you with a monkey at the entrance, a clear nod to the charming urban jungle that the place represents. Nestled in the heart of the Mercure hotel in La Roche-sur-Yon, it is ideally located for a break at any time of day, just a few minutes from the train station and Place Napoléon.


      Tea time, drinks with friends, after-work drinks, a get-together with colleagues, or a family meal— at Monkey Place, anything is possible. The drinks menu is diverse and varied, featuring local wines, craft beers, and house cocktails. Gorilla, Bonobo, or Gibbon—the choice is yours, depending on your mood!


      Every Friday, a lively evening is organized, such as a concert or a music quiz; come and join the fun! The cuisine, prepared with fresh ingredients, is also worth trying, along with the famous Sunday brunch, served in a friendly atmosphere.

    I tried the kebab lamb and it was very tasty, juicy and delicious! 😍 The cocktails seem interesting too, I only took a mocktail and it was pretty refreshing. The venue is spacious and well decorated with a jungle theme.

    Excellent moment entre amis, jolie découverte pour moi, cocktails avec et sans alcool originaux et très agréables, et le Labné à la truffe un régal...comme tous le reste.

    The food and drinks were standard and expensive compared to other places in La Roche. However, the overall quality is slightly higher than many places in La Roche. We went there expecting the pub atmosphere they advertised: an 80s/90s night with a DJ and a dance floor. We stayed until 11:30 PM, and there was still no atmosphere, no DJ, and no dancing. The staff had told me that the music and atmosphere depended on the crowd! Apparently, it was a chill night... like, you shouldn't make too much noise so as not to disturb them... The advertising was misleading! No DJ, no 80s/90s night.
