Easter weekend is the perfect time to gather with loved ones and enjoy the arrival of spring over a beautiful meal. At Montrio, we’re welcoming the season with coastal sophistication, vibrant spring flavors, and warm hospitality that make any holiday gathering extra special. Whether you’re visiting Monterey for the weekend or planning a relaxed local celebration, we’re crafting an Easter dining experience that feels festive, fresh, and unmistakably Monterey.
Seasonal Highlights with a Springtime Twist
For Easter weekend, our kitchen is spotlighting spring’s freshest ingredients in thoughtful, chef-driven dishes. Expect garden greens, bright herbs, tender vegetables, and sustainably sourced seafood—all brought together with global inspiration and local heart. While our full dinner menu will be available, there will be special Easter additions designed to showcase the season in style.
Think lightly seared scallops with citrus beurre blanc, or lamb loin with spring pea purée and minted gremolata. Vegetarian guests can enjoy selections like wild mushroom risotto or housemade pasta with roasted asparagus and lemony ricotta. Every dish is rooted in local sourcing and crafted to bring out the best of the season.
A Sweet Finish to Your Celebration
Easter weekend is also a time for a touch of indulgence. Our dessert menu will feature spring-ready confections—look for treats like Meyer lemon tart, chocolate pot de crème with sea salt, and fresh berry coulis to complement the longer days and festive atmosphere.
Local Wines for Local Flavors
Montrio’s wine list is carefully curated to complement our seasonal dishes while spotlighting Monterey County’s exceptional winemaking. From crisp whites to silky reds, our team can help guide you to the perfect pairing.
Enjoy a glass of Santa Lucia Highlands Chardonnay with seafood starters, or opt for a Pinot Noir from the Santa Rita Hills to bring out the best in lamb or mushroom-forward dishes. For a toast, consider a chilled rosé or sparkling wine—perfect for spring gatherings and light, joyful moments.
