Discover Norman 2019-2020 | Page 14

Of all Norman’s iconic restaurants, The Mont is one of the most enduring. Conveniently located within walking distance of the University of Oklahoma’s Gaylord Stadium, it’s an ideal place to sip margaritas, enjoy an OU football game on the patio, and munch on a wide variety of items from the newly revamped menu. (You’ll still find the old favorites, like pulled pork and black bean nachos, along with some healthier options.) While you’re there, be sure to order The Mont’s signature drink – the Sooner Swirl – which is a tasty concoction made from frozen sangria and frozen margaritas. “What sets us apart from other restaurants is our tradition and our family atmosphere,” said general manager Patrick Kallin. “We opened in 1976, and we have gone from parents bringing their children here because they loved the place when they were in college, to those children bringing in their children. We always strive for The Mont to be a place that everyone can get away to and just take a break!” Along with families, The Mont remains a favorite hangout for OU students. It’s located at 1300 Classen Blvd, and hours are 11 a.m. to 2 a.m., seven-days-a-week. For specials, to book events or for other information, you can reach the restaurant directly at 405-329-3330, visit www.themont. com, or check out its Facebook page, The Mont Restaurant.
