A popular tapas restaurant has announced its sudden closure after nearly five years in business. Monusk Tapas and Wine Bar in Newport has announced its immediate closure this week, having established itself as a popular destination on the city's food scene.
Located on Millennium Walk, Monusk, was opened by Finn Nesbitt in August 2017 serving Spanish-style tapas inspired by the trading routes in and out of Newport. Offering small plates of everything from meats and cheeses to fresh seafood, it had established a loyal customer base over the years and was notable for its idyllic location overlooking the River Usk.
While the reasons for its abrupt closure are not known, the restaurant confirmed this week it had closed its doors for good. In a message shared on its Instagram page on Tuesday, the restaurant said: "It's been emotional but sadly we're going to have to love you and leave you Newport. Wishing you all the very best. Thank you for some special times and incredible memories. We feel blessed to have shared these moments together."
