The acclaimed Maplewood restaurant Monarch has revamped its spacious bar and cozy bistro dining room as Monarch Southern Bistro. Here executive chef and Louisiana expat Josh Galliano offers a laid-back menu of Cajun and Creole favorites, including overstuffed po' boy sandwiches and fritters made from the pork-and-rice sausage known as boudin. The best dishes bear traces of Galliano's creative touch, like simple hush puppies classed up by a burnt-lemon sauce, or catfish wrapped in shredded sweet potato. (Diners in the bar and bistro can also order from the more upscale menu of Monarch's main dining room.)
