Prego Monmouth
Great food and accommodation in the heart of Monmouth... Newly opened restaurant Bistro Prego offers mouthwatering cuisine and has eight rooms with en-suite bathrooms, Sky TV and all this right in the heart of Monmouth's old town.
Bistro Prego opened at the turn of 2006/2007 and offers not only an excellent range of fine food and wine but also eight well-appointed rooms. For these reasons alone it would be a welcome addition to the town. Add in the fact that Prego's head chef, Steve Robbins, has worked in three previous establishments with culinary legend Franco Taruschio (former owner of The Walnut Tree near Abergavenny) and that Prego itself now counts Franco as a consultant, and you have added in some serious pedigree to this new Monmouth eatery. Fine dining without being over the top.
