Monasterboice Inn in

Really nice place, looks beautiful, excellent service, fast and attentive. Food was generous and well made. Nice toilets aswell. Highly recommend 👌

I had a cream tea, best I've ever had xx

First timers here: a rare meal of 3 generations all together: grandparents, siblings, their spouses and 3 kids (age range from: nearly 7 to nearly 2). We booked in advance for which we were glad as a busy throughput was noted and dined for 5pm. I was gifted a sample (4) of the spicy Buffalo Wings that my husband ordered at €17.50: the portion was plenty for 2 people and tasty. Two others chose Garlic Mushrooms at €9.50 and one of our party picked the Deep Fried Brie at €11.90: all happy. I ordered the Striploin Steak with mushrooms, onion rings, potato gratin and pepper sauce for €38.50. I struggled to finish it!! The steak was cooked perfectly to my liking and as requested. I didn't have space for dessert or coffee. The children went for Chicken Nuggets and chips at €10.70 each. We ordered 1 kid dessert (2 scoops of icecream with chocolate sauce) to share at €5 between our two as they hadn't finished dinner in full though dessert had been promised. We shared jugs of Miwadi at €2 each and an Australian Chardonnay at €32 between the table. Others at the table opted for Plaice at €24.95 (very pleased with this), Chicken Curry €21.50 and Chicken Supreme at €23. Only one adult had capacity for dessert and picked Sticky Toffee Pudding at €8.50: he was very impressed with it. Overall, despite plenty of staff on duty, we had to ask for a few requests 2-3 times before they arrived eg 2 straws, a glass of milk (which we were charged twice for) and jug of water. Food was very good and plentiful. It is an extensive menu that will appeal to a certain generation eg Chicken Maryland, Chicken Kiev, Mixed Grill (my husband was tempted with this!) and Sherry Trifle but recommended especially the perfectly cooked Striploin if you are nearby, once you bring your appetite!!

Was there for lunch with a friend. €90 ( € 10 tip included ). Shared a starter . 2 set dinners. 7up and water. No alcohol. I'm sorry but that's far to expensive for lunch. Also the restaurant itself is in desperate need of an upgrade. Bit of TLC would not go amiss. It seems to cater for a more mature customer. Sit at the bar and eat would be better. Staff lovely and friendly but overall . Hit and miss .

Would recommend food was very enjoyable

Couldn't fault it for a Sunday lunch! Lovely!

Excellent food as usually great service.

My son and I enjoyed a delicious meal last night in Monasterboice Inn (Donegans) to celebrate his birthday. I had 8oz steak and he had surf and turf. The steaks were perfectly cooked to our chosen preference and the scampi was the best my son had , ‘ so amazingly good and full of taste’. Service was excellent by a very friendly and helpful young lady , the restaurant was full but did not impact on quality of service, we will definitely return to eat here again.

Had a lovely family breakfast. Nice menu and tea and coffee included in the price. Everyone in the group enjoyed their food.

Even better than it was 50 years ago!!!
