At the Purple Pear, owners Jack and Janet Kotlar are proud to offer the Monsey and surrounding communities a cool Manhattan dining experience close to home. Young and old, large party or dining “a deux,” there is something to satisfy every palate on their large, contemporary menu and especially now with their addition of breakfast. Fresh food, affordable prices and satisfied customers are their daily, ongoing commitment. As the story in their window reads.... “Every day, Marie, who found the magnificent purple pear, could be found in her cozy kitchen stirring up an irresistible array of foods each infused with the freshest ingredients and warmest thoughts. And more and more people began to gather outside Marie’s kitchen window hungry for her unique combination of cuisine and care...”
Vibrant cranberry walls, bold paintings, cobalt fixtures and cool “Coaster Call” discs combine with hand written menu boards and a dazzling stained glass window to create a surprising and ambience that’s both hip and homey. House specials include their famous savory French Onion Soup served in a Bread Boulle and topped with Garlic Cheese, Tilapia marinated in a lemon pepper dressing dusted in Sun-Dried Tomato Crunch, Wild Mushroom Medley Pasta made with Fettuccine in a light cream sauce, assorted fresh grilled Panini Sandwiches made with Focaccia Bread and Freedom Salad with your choice of basic, premium or fish toppings.

Their “Fun Stuff” menu for the young and young at heart includes their signature extra long crispy French Fries presented in a unique metal holder and served with Mayo dip and ketchup; and a generous plate of Nachos topped with Melted Cheese and served with savory salsa and guacamole. For a perfect finale, choose one of their many delectable and tempting desserts. Their world famous Cinnamon Bun with cream cheese frosting is drizzled with caramel sauce and served warm. For chocolate lovers, their rich and fudgy Molten Chocolate Cake served with fresh whipped cream is irresistible. They also offer creamy, cheesecake and giant chocolate chunk cookies along with several hot and cold specialty drinks.
